Slightly morbid hypothetical question

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Feb 24 '11, 06:14

You're the manager of an office.
One of your employees dies unexpectedly.

In tending to the employee's workspace, you find a small combination safe in/under his/her desk, but you can't find anything that would indicate what the combination would be. There's no job-related reason that the employee would need to have the safe (e.g. he doesn't need to store backup tapes, etc). You can hear something rattling around in the safe, so you don't think it's empty.

The employee has no relatives that you know of.

What do you do with the safe?

idk...there might be egg cartons in there. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:11
It's just his snack food. He didn't want you and his grubby co-workers munching his snacks. :) -- nm - sycor Feb 24, 07:10
Sounds like it might be full of severed ears. nm - Dignan Feb 24, 06:31
I'd find a way to open it. if it's at the office, it's fair game. I'd catalogue, document, and have a witness though. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 06:25
open it -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:24
I would talk to my legal department. I think the presence on business property means you have a right to access it - ty97 Feb 24, 06:21
Here's an idea - OAE Feb 24, 06:20 23
- like he needs a reminder to be "elegant"? clearly you haven't been reading his posts. be more "elegant" in your advice giving. - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:23 22
  - OK, here we go. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 06:49
  - Hey thanks. I didn't know that. -- nm - OAE Feb 24, 06:44 12
    - it's like you don't read what people post. you don't know who any of us are. you don't know our personalities. - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:58 11
      - Seriously? What gives? - amoxy Feb 24, 07:02 10
        
        It's a culmination of posts, each one piling onto the last. - Jim Feb 24, 07:08 9
        
        Mostly I'm confused what it means to suggest someone "act elegantly". -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 24, 07:17 1
        
        see? it's so douchey you don't even know!! -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:19
        
        precisely this. 100%. (thanks for being my witness, jim.) -- nmhy - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:14
        
        i have been there too manyt times. mandy gets her aggression out, everyone backslaps each other, OAE doesnt know what the hell happened, - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 07:13 5
        
        if lots of people are constantly getting annoyed with you, and you can't figure out why, it may not be a problem with them. - mafic Feb 24, 07:24
        
        you and I don't see eye-to-eye, right? let me say this: I think you bring 100 times more to the table than does OAE. - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:17 3
        
        look, I really dont pay attention to this specific thing. can you not just ignore? I hsve to say for those who dont follow, you look randomly horrid - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 07:22 1
        
        I can't ignore, no. but thanks for the suggestion. please keep on letting me know when I look bitchy. thanks. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:24
        
        I still do not think her post was "douchey" - amoxy Feb 24, 07:19
  - I love early morning snarky maj. She's my favorite -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:25 7
    - I read 'morning skanky maj' - ty97 Feb 24, 06:26 6
      - spoiler - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:28 4
        
        So, like...we don't get to see your ho-bag tights? What up with THAT? -- nm - Jim Feb 24, 07:09 1
        
        (I just realized that ho-bag is an insult in my book, but whorebag is not. what??) (I'll try to photo at training this aft.) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:18
        
        Skank that sneaks up and slaps you on the back of the head is my favorite type of skank. -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 06:30
        
        *cracking up* -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:29
      - I think skanky gets a bad rap. Personally, a little skank can go a long way. I embrace the skank -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:28
It would become property of the business unless somebody (relative) comes forward to claim it - amoxy Feb 24, 06:18
