WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS

Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one
noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his
desk for FIVE DAYS before anyone asked if he was feeling okay.
George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proofreader at
a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-
plan office he shared with 23 other workers.

He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until
Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still
working during the weekend.

His boss Elliot Wachiaski said: "George was always the first guy
in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found
it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and
didn't say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and
kept pretty much to himself."

A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for
five days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was
proofreading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died.

You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.....



The above story is interesting. . .


but it's not true.

You may have been sent this story, I was. Already the estimates
are that it has been sent via email to over 100,000 people.
It sounds very believable. Several newspapers ran this story as
true so it fooled a ton of people.

George's fictitious plight hit a nerve with so many in corporate
America.

Sometimes you feel as if no one cares what happens to you.
George Turklebaum was shown the ultimate indifference to his
plight.

Whoever wrote this understood the state of the American worker.
We can feel alone, isolated, unimportant, and that no one cares
what happens to us. The Turklebaum story took it to another
level.

I have try to get you to see that you are never truly
alone. That the world (including corporate) is a beautiful
place, that just happens to have a few ugly spots.

No one is deceased at his or her desk in your office, but there
are those that are in pain, grieving, alone, lost, confused, and
just need a friend or a hug.

You do need to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.
Nudge them to bright side, nudge them to see the light, nudge them
to wake up.

Tickle them in the side.

You be the life of a co-worker.

Why not?
