caught wind of a story where a guy went to repair the roof at a walgreen
store and died while up there

no one noticed and they forgot he was there

apparently they found his truck in the lot after a few days


if i did a job like that i would check in with the manager and tell them
i will check out so they know


Whoever is on staff when you get there may not be when it is time to
leave. Often they do no pass on the information in any event.

As to other employee's most wouldn't even be aware of what you were
doing or why unless it affected them directly.

If the guy worked for himself then only his family would care, if he
had any. If he was an employee then his service manager would have
checked up on him. Unless it was over a weekend or was an unscheduled
call.

Typically for stores like that the store manager is a non-professional
person who just rose through the ranks simply due to employee
turnover.



Well, anyone that is being paid is a professional. But I agree with the
jest. He was not groomed for the position.

Concerning the dead guy, something should not have smelled right. ;~)
