Upon arrival at the scene, officials pronounced Prudhomme dead at 4.55pm, local outlets report, citing Tempe police. 12News reports that Prudhomme’s cubicle was located on the third floor and away from the main aisle.
The employee who spoke to 12News added that multiple people complained of a foul odor but assumed it was due to plumbing problems.
Another employee told the outlet: “It’s really heartbreaking and I’m thinking, ‘What if I were just sitting there? No one would check on me?’” The employee went on to add: “To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick … and nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”
I really want to know the whole story, because I keep making up so many in my head.
Maybe the managers kept her on because she had nothing else and she was past her prime and didn’t actually do any work, but like there’s a spare desk up on the third floor, have a heart, Jake.
Or she had gone in and out each day but, like so many employees, forgot to use the clock. Especially older employees who can’t be bothered with such nonsense.
Why was she sneaking in on a Friday when everyone else was leaving? Heist, baby. But she got double crossed by her team after she hacked the server.
