Die. "Did someone just die at his desk in Bedminster office ? ". That's the correct tense.
Yes. He was attacked by his own heart!
@ee nobody is applying here. Only the most desperate undesirables apply for 5x RTO gigs.
Working at AT&T is dangerous. Much safer job as Walmart greeter.
So when can I apply for his job?
Should have been working from the golf course. He would still be alive today.
@dz he was 42
Did we ever get confirmation of the employee’s age? Is it true he was over 60?
@d4 because his family comes to this site… cmon
I feel sorry for this person and the family. Stinky and his minions do not care, in fact, they either want us to quit or expire. Same win for them. This is not the 1st time that someone with health issues or disabilities denied accommodation. In ATL alone, one of my coworkers passed away (he was disabled, walked with crutches), no assigned seating each time. I believe at one point he fell walking around and caused him to file FMLA and sadly he passed. Another one, walking with a walker, obviously impaired, also no assigned seats. I see this person walking around with walker assisting him daily. Some I knew had heart attacks, at least 2 people. Some lost their legs due to accidents, and yet were still told to report 5 days a week. This is just in 1 office here in ATL.
@d8 Nope, karma will ensure that your name is prioritized to the top of the list.
Soooooooo, one less person need to be surplused in June?
Can we maybe chill with the comments about the deceased and his family? Have a little empathy. This literally could’ve been any of us, and his family is already going through enough without having to read anonymous people piling on in the comments.
@d0 , nay…rather they should be grateful he passed trying to provide for/support them.
His family should find comfort knowing he died doing something he loved.
“never happened before.”
I’ve known two employees who died in the office during the last 20 years at a rather small office.
@c9 never happened before. Why is it no surprise now? You’re trying to say that major life altering health issues are standard now? You’re an Id!ot
When Stankey stated the AT&T employee base skewed older, he was simply stating fact. Statistically, it’s no surprise at all employees are regularly having major health issues in the office.
Several coworkers in my department really packed ob the pounds during the pandemic when WFH full time. They have needed a push to do more walking.
Did someone just died at his desk in Bedminster office ?
sure. if by 'just died' you mean 8 days ago.

Happens more than you think. I’ve seen a few coworkers have heart attacks at the office. We do have an older workforce, that is true. Why people don’t just retire that are well past eligible is beyond me. Go enjoy your life, don’t die or have a stroke working here. Move on, it will be ok, the place won’t fall apart.
More people died in their homes than in the office.
Can you ever stop bootlicking, even for a moment? You are disgusting.
At AT&T your health doesn’t matter. Sadly this is the outcome they prefer. This is exactly why they moved to 5x RTO.
There have been 3-4 incidents like this in that office over the last 6 months. Maybe it’s time to go back to the industry standard, hybrid.
He wasn’t feeling well but due to the rigid RTO policy and numerous tracking metrics he didn’t feel comfortable staying home for just one day. Probably would have saved his life. This has gone too far.
He used up all his sick days so he called in dead.
Most of the employees still at AT&T after 20 years are hoping for cradle to grave employment. This employee died fulfilling a dream.
How old was the employee?
@OP , these Dark Triaders want the herd thinned via any way(s) that don’t include paying severance.
If this is true its likely due to the stress.
Yes, this actually happened.
