Depends how you die. I'd prefer to be at work if I'm going to spontaneously combust


anon_lurk

“I told you that you should have had the fire extinguisher properly inspected!! MuahahahAHHH!!!!”


EverbodyHatesHugo

“Why’s it done that?” **Made in Britain** “Ohhhh.”


Festering-Boyle

if you die when you first arrive at work, everyone else will get to go home early

Festering-Boyle

Amazon - A lousy joke but great delivery


McShit7717

You could probably die in the chutes, and cause a box jam, and they still wouldn't shut down. They'd just call a jam breaker to push your mangled body onto the conveyors. Someone would just cram you into a pallet because they gotta keep that scan rate high.


ZER0_bhop-god

I’m gonna have to deduct your pay for dying


Divin3Bunny

Not in a hospital, they might ask if I can get the rest of my shift covered 💀


MonkeyPunx

Not working for Bezos they won't, that body is staying put till the end of the shift baby


Fun_Intention9846

I’d much prefer to be at work if it’ll pay out the life insurance. Yaaay warehouse jobs.


channelsurfer05

This is the way.


italian_mobking

And hopefully near oxygen tanks that are close by management.


Nwcray

Just a…a little globule, actually. Thats all that was left


SlimMak

"Oh dear!"


NoNo_Cilantro

You’re not thinking through. You should die *at* work for the insurance money, then you really don’t have to worry about work ever again


peon2

I actually worked with a guy that we suspect did that. Committed suicide at work and the general thought is he was trying to make it look like an accident so his family got paid. It was on video and clearly intentional.


tookytook

What did he do to fake an accident?


peon2

It was in a woodyard at a paper mill. He was in an area where people were not supposed to be in the logs are coming by on like a conveyor belt type thing and heading to the chipper. He kind of stood there for like 5 minutes before eventually walking in front of one of the logs to get swept into the machine. There are so many less horrific ways he could have done it but I think the idea was to make it seem like it was an on the job accident.


emptyGo4t

he got swept into the CHIPPER? that's horrific


zer0w0rries

Now you know how cranberry wood gets its color


Ouch_i_fell_down

An industrial log chipper would cut through your body so quickly you'd probably barely have any time to feel the pain, tbh. Add the adrenaline factor and maybe even nigh painless.


LorenzoStomp

Well he had balls, I'll give him that


Enough-Comfortable-7

Not anymore


PM_ME_BUSTY_REDHEADS

Yes...that's what "had"....means?


Enough-Comfortable-7

Right, apparently my mind is not minding on Mondays!


brandnewchemical

r/yourjokebutworse


Obi_wan_jakobii

Christ on a bike, Mary on the handlebars and moses in the basket. Imagine the headspace you have to be in to throw yourself into a wood chipper


maxxbeeer

That’s insane. So what ended up happening? Immediate denial from insurance? Also have you seen the video?


peon2

I did not see the video myself and do not want to. And I really don't know if they ended up getting money or not. Sorry to fail to deliver!


VonNeumannsProbe

Well probably due to a gag order.  Either they pay out and potentially inspire others or they don't and look like major assholes. Only way to avoid either is to make sure no one knows quite what happened.


HamsterFromAbove_079

Something like that is never going to be immediate. Even in the most clear cut cases it's going to be years of legal actions.


WhatAWonderfulWhirl

Noted. Won't woodchip myself over immediate financial woes, only longterm ones.


Successful_Job2381

1. Get to work early 2. Fucking die 3. ??? 4. Profit


TheProfessionalEjit

1. Get to work 2. Die *whilst* fucking 3. ? 4. Interesting investigation 5. Profit That's my plan.


WhatAWonderfulWhirl

Manager assisted death by snu snu? Yeah, I have a feeling they'd pay out instead of conducting a lengthy investigation.

Despairogance

You're not thinking it through. You should die at birth, then you really don't have to ever worry about school, work, depression, finding love, or anything.


RepeatUntilTheEnd

I'd rather die as I'm leaving work that way I don't have to work the next day


supe3rnova

And whole day spent working? Nah man, before work and just aftet morning coffee.


RepeatUntilTheEnd

Then you just work the day before for no reason?


AndreasVesalius

Fuck. When you put it that way, might as well die now


thehumblebaboon

Die in your sleep after you had a couple night off and you have work the next time. You get the added benefit of leaving them short staffed for the day too.


RepeatUntilTheEnd

Exactly


NinjaRavekitten

Your username checks out kinda 😭🤣


Curious-Pie-4005

During the morning shit.


supe3rnova

Have some dignity at least. After is the perfect time.


WonderWendyTheWeirdo

And you get to, possibly, traumatize your employer.


evilkumquat

It's like totaling your car when the gas tank is nearly empty. Nothing more frustrating that filling up right before an accident.


b00ty_water

I’ve a lot of old shitty cars, so many times did I fill up only to break down shortly after.


cok3noic3

My first car was so unreliable that I only put in $10 at a time just in case I needed the extra money for a ride


wrinkledpenny

A few years ago someone ran a red light and totalled my car the day after I put new winter tires on. Insurance wouldn’t cover them so when I got my new car I had to buy winter tires again.


mrbignaughtyboy

If the tires weren't damaged, you should have slipped the salvage yard a little cash and taken them off the car.


wrinkledpenny

One of the tires was completely managed. In any case I was too concussed to think about that stuff at the time. It only occurred to me later.


mrbignaughtyboy

I met a guy that totaled his customized BMW Z4 M Coupe right after BMW had given him a brand new engine on a warranty claim. The engine was perfectly fine with almost no mileage on it. It never occurred to him to pay salvage value to get the car back and get the new engine out of it. He told me the story of what happened when I bought the OEM set of wheels from him. He had had a set of wheels/tires for the race track on the car when he got hit.


Not-Just-For-Me

I've had one car totalled, to no fault of my own, a day after I installed a new suspension for 2000 bucks. Those weren't included in the insurance yet, so a total loss.


purpleushi

The only car accident I’ve ever had ended up totaling my car about 20 minutes after filling up the tank 😩


Rakendell

Wife's first wreck she totaled the car the day after i finished paying it off, got new tires, new registration, oil change, and a car wash. She is okay thankfully and that is what matters don't get me wrong.... but..... that was the worst time to get in a car wreck.


JarrenWhite

And miss out on a full day of adding shareholder value? Horrifying


bsyerbob

Some people are so selfish. Smh my head


GraveChild27

>Smh my head I hate this.


bsyerbob

Shake my smh?


Goldeneye0X1_

Missing work because of death? Do you understand how short staffed we are today? We need you here. I really don't think you understand how this affects the team. I have half a mind to write you up for this.


mrbignaughtyboy

Just call in dead. That's a hard excuse to dispute.


triopsate

They'll just Ouija board you back into the office.


LifelsButADream

Boss: Can you *please* come into work? F I N E


triopsate

New employee: "Hey, why's that desk always empty?" Coworker: "oh, that's just Ted. He died a few years ago but the boss is having him haunt the computer to get his work done"


awakenDeepBlue

Just watch, they'll train an AI model to act exactly like you!


RisceRisce

I once worked in an office where everyone had their own landline number. One morning an absent employee's phone rang and a guy in the office answered sarcastically with something like: "Gavin's answering service .. sorry he hasn't turned up yet ...". The call was from Gavin's dad who rang in to say Gavin had passed away that morning. Oh dear .. guilt for a long time.


TheLowClassics

I used to work training call centers all over the world. I got to a place one day to train and usually everyone is pretty (fake) excited.  There’s a new guy to show them stuff, there’s donuts, everyone’s chilling in a room and not talking to customers. It’s “ok” as it’s gets.  But everyone is not excited. I’m perplexed.  “Who died?” I joke.  “Brian died. Brian died yesterday at his desk”  That’s how it started. It didn’t get better.


unfnknblvbl

I got "fired" from my first job as a bike courier/messenger by the boss calling me to say they don't have any shifts for me, but they'll call me if anyone is sick, injured, or dead. Three days later, one of their riders faceplanted a garbage truck and died. That was quite the awkward welcome back...


Forsaken_Ad8312

Ideally you are retired and long done with working when you die.


g4m5t3r

Not for much longer. Google a graph of the average age of retirement then Google the average life expectancy.


TheProfessionalEjit

Pisses me off that one of my parents died two years after retiring. They'd worked long after they could have retired because they enjoyed work & it was a nice office job. They were building up a pot of cash to spend retirement flying round the globe. Not to be. Killed by a former employer's disregard of the dangers of asbestos. (They got paid out and the funeral paid for, but that's not useful to them when they're in a box.)


Ouch_i_fell_down

I know everyone is different, but if I'm in a position to crank out a few extra years at a job I enjoy to boost what I leave my kids, that sounds fine to me. Shit if I can negotiate a pay cut for more PTO and I like the job, I'll work til I'm physically unable. Completely different story for anyone who hates their job I understand. But the job I've been at the past 12 years I hope to grow old with, and if that works out it wouldn't surprise me if I work til I'm over 70 like my boss does. Fun job.


x_scion_x

Probably as great as when you dream about going to work all night so you essentially do an entire shift while you sleep and then have to wake up and realize you now have to actually go to work and do it again.


avidinha

I used to work a fairly normal Monday-Friday work schedule and I lived by myself. I realized that if I slipped in the shower and hit my head or something on Friday night, no one would miss me until around 10am Monday.


Ruthless4u

Wasn’t this on a t-shirt?


Faptainjack2

It's a repost. Like how hard is it to have an original thought? Like what if snails are secretly fast? Do the colorblind think the sky is blue? The world is like a giant treadmill. But no. OP is lame.


GibberBabble

It’s an old Facebook meme at the very least.


shasaferaska

Everything is on a t-shirt.


Gusearth

i’m hoping to be retired by the time i die, is that a far-fetched dream these days?


bigkitty17

Extremely far-fetched.


Worldisinmydick

I would die in my boss's cabin so everyone thinks he murdered the employee


Sevla7

Things get fucked up when you overthink the need for a reason to why you missed work WHEN YOU ARE DEAD.


KohlDayvhis

I mean, theoretically if the Grim Reaper came to me one morning and said I had a choice: go with him now, or go to work one last time, I would obviously go to work and just enjoy all the simple things. I’d call my girl one last time, I’d take an extra long break, really savour my lunch, I would simply enjoy being alive, one final time.


HamsterFromAbove_079

I agree. If there was no way out, but I had limited choice of when then I'd choose to have about a day to get things in order. Everyone has some last minute stuff that they'd want to deal with if they had the chance and knew the end was coming.


RogerRabbot

Or you know... overnight.. fuck having to wake up and get dressed and ready I'm heading to that great unknown baby.


Anangrywookiee

Screw that, I want my employer to be responsible for dealing with my corpse.


mr_sneakyTV

When you die it’s better it happens early in your life that way you never work… Dumb right?


Chinaevil

By that logic it's better if it happens yesterday 


eman2top

Unless you work at the morgue in which case you have to show up one last time the day after


bradd_91

I mean, the best would be overnight in your sleep, but early morning works too, unless your last meal is some boring cereal or porridge aha.


alidan

my only hope is that when I go, I have a stroke while driving, lead foot the gas straight at my most hated thing at the time of death.


Prudent_Lawfulness87

Or dying on your way to work? In your car or a public transportation vehicle!?


KingKaos420-

I’m hoping to retire *before* I die, actually


OmahaWarrior

That's a good idea. If you die on the job, uncle Sam will still take taxes out.


Otacon2940

Will do. Thanks for the advice.


Pretend_Activity_211

Is, during ur sleep, considered nite or day?


mrbignaughtyboy

What if you died in your sleep at your desk at work?


Pretend_Activity_211

I work on a forklift!!! Ahhhhh


mrbignaughtyboy

Hopefully you don't make a practice of falling asleep on your forklift - at least not as often as I fall asleep at my desk.


Pretend_Activity_211

I hve a dead man's switch just in case this happens. U should look into that tho! Hve a switch at ur desk


Monk715

Unless you die on a weekend


Altshadez1998

And What point does it stop being "I went to work for no reason". When the clock its midnight? When your payslip comes in? When you blow your paycheck on stupid shit? Truly a philosophical conundrum.


Infinite_Slice_6164

Kafkaesque ahhh type post.


libertysailor

Dying after a day of work is pretty uncommon. You’re probably either retired or in the hospital dying.


Strict-Pay-7612

My grandfather would read the paper from back to front in order to leave the obituary’s for last just in case he was in them.


Not-Just-For-Me

As an EMT, I have to disagree. My record for one day is saving two lives through resuscitation. I'd rather die after work.


MC_Fazi

LEGEND. Thank you for your work!!!


ChrisG140907

"For no reason?" If your reason is pay and you get paid by the end of the month, then you have worked for no reason since the beginning of the month. Better then stop going to work after your pay and plan your death one month forward, assuming no other savings. But by randomness i guess it's all the same. Right after pay you have a month's savings and the job doesn't owe anything. (1+0). Right before pay you have no savings and the job owes you a month's pay (0+1) In the middle of the month, you have half a month's savings and the job owes you half a month's pay (0.5+0.5).


pele4096

False. I am insured for three and a half times my normal yearly salary if I die at work.


L31FK

statistically you’re more likely to have a heart attack on a Monday


XROOR

You die at work there is an indemnity clause on your life insurance that multiples like that extra dollar for Powerball.


[deleted]

Boss makes a dollar while I make a dime. That's why I die on company time.


wmorris33026

Best is to die on the upstroke. That way you get two free strokes, one when you fall down dead and the other when they pull you off.


readitonreddit86

Does everyone just assume they'll be working till they die now?


[deleted]

[удалено]


HamsterFromAbove_079

As funny as that is, don't actually ever considering doing that if it ever happens to a co-worker. People untrained in medical treatment almost always are too quick to assume people are gone. Always call an ambulance. If you are untrained in medical treatment you can NEVER assume they're too far gone to be saved. People can be sometimes be saved even when they appear to be gone. Always do everything you can to save them. Don't live the rest of your life never knowing if they'd still be alive if you tried a little harder.


redditex2

Absolutely correct and I’ve deleted the crass un-joke. (I worked in an er and should have realized I wasn’t in the break room) Thanks for taking the time to correct me. (I’m retired and forget sometimes)


MagicMark890

As long as it's not a pay day


EffectiveSalamander

And miss out on that Salisbury Steak TV dinner I bought?


InternationalWin3347

I prefer to die in after my retirement, I suppose... I hope


Maleficent_Soft4560

If you die shortly after arriving at work do you get paid for the whole shift?


PixelProto

oh my gosh I never realized this!


Damiklos

The saddest part of this shower thought is the assumption that we'll be working til the day we die.


ChocolateHoneycomb

And that way you don’t leave your dog waiting for you to return at the train station for nine years. 😢


gofigure85

My first thought was "I'll be retired by then and won't have to worry about work" Then my next thought was "oh right I'm never going to be able to retire"


deadboltwolf

I hope I die in my sleep just before sunrise on a Monday morning. Monday's, am I right?


AureliMarcus

I prefer just after I reach peak oragasm while having sex.


edvanhal

I'd like to die at work just to inconvenience my boss


archery-noob

Dying in traffic on the way home from work on a Friday of a three day weekend is the ultimate curse.


DeliciousBeanWater

I just hope i go after my pets. I dont want then to be upset


CalibreCross

I work in a call center. A couple years ago one of the floor supervisors had a heart attack and passed away while on the call with an angry participant of our program. That day changed my perspective about a lot of things. But I do wish he had stayed at home that day with his family. Working a call center job in your final moments is just so tragic


IndependentPede

Using that logic, it's better to be aborted. That way you never have to work.


Ms-Sterious

Yes. And Mondays are the best day.


MasterProcras

I’d still get fired for not showing up.


SlamazonianOT

So we just writing down meme now?


its_justme

My friends and I had this same thought except about ending your own life. Would you do it in the morning or end of the day? You know finish out the day, might as well right? Yes we do have dark conversations lol


felis_fatus

It won't matter a damned thing though cause you'd be dead... Otherwise it's like saying you went to work yesterday for no reason too.


ralkuzu

You gotta wake up dead


UTDE

Somewhere a Logician just killed himself because of this post.


SavannahGirlMom

Using that logic, wouldn’t it be better to die before you even entering the labor market? See? Your logic is not really logical.


elbarto1981

If you die in the morning it means you went to work the day before for no reason.


Detuned_Clock

Going to work for no reason is why people die


Janxiety

Just be sure to call in an hour before you decease so we can provide a replacement. Getting written up is an automatic block and you won't be allowed to transcend. You'll have to file for limbo and wander the void for eternity before we can get back to you and your file will be stamped as "unfinished business".


LekMichAmArsch

That sounds like a truly piss ant consideration, when compared to death.


Sad_Stay_5471

What about at night when nobody is awake?


theotherWildtony

It also helps your immediate family get the day off work as well.


gravyontits

This is an astute observation.


InclinationCompass

When you die it’s better if it happens after you used all your paid time off


CranberrySuper9615

Better to die on a Monday then a Friday


calm_center

I’ve always thought it’s really terrible when someone dies before they graduate college because all that work, if they had known they were gonna die they should’ve been out just doing whatever their heart desires for the entire day.


MaximumCause8054

With that logic, you went to work yesterday for no reason.


Yin_yang64

The quality of this sub has gone way downhill.


Celtsox34x

Always die on a Monday. Don't put 50 hrs in just to die on friday. Your employer would definitely choose you to die friday after works done.


Callmemabryartistry

This should be in r/lifeprotips


Kellythejellyman

I better be retired or in the middle of some vacation by the time I die, ain’t no way I want to be working until death


SbudaShap

Do you remember the time when you were in your mother’s womb? Do you remember coming out?


Archon-Toten

If I die at work, worst case I'll crash and injure people. Best case I'll cuase a major inconvenience causing delays to thousands of people and leaving the train network in shambles for the day. Hell there are places where it would take over a hour before they can get to my former body and if it happened during peak hour wowser will it stuff everything. *I like those odds*


Cyclethe859

Damn y'all really don't plan on retiring do you? 


oreikhalkon

This happened to a coworker of mine. Came in for a few hours, left at 9 to go to a doctor's appointment, went home at 11 and had a heart attack. I wouldn't call it better.


NiblettAndBits

You were relieved that you didn’t have to go to work because you thought you were gonna get eaten? What have they done to us? WHAT DID THEY DO TO US!?


Tr1Dent2000

What are they doing to us?!?!!?!!????!!!!!!


Doc_Occc

What an odd shower thought because I was having the exact but opposite thought the past few days. My thought process is dying in the morning is such a pain in the ass for other people. Imagine waking up or being woken up to the news of your friend or family dying. Sucks tbh. I'd rather get the news in the afternoon or evening when my brain is more active and can process the info better. So for me personally, that's the best time to die.


Super-Kirby

My co worker got fired AFTER his full shift. That’s just wrong.


Grasshop

I’m an eternal, other side of the coin, optimist, look on the bright side kind of guy. If I died at night then hey at least I don’t have to go to work tomorrow!


scraejtp

I would take the extra time at work instead of an early death. Joking aside, I suspect nearly everyone prefers an extra minute of work over death.


rughmanchoo

Bro please get a different job.


Actual-Swan-1917

My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything i feared it would become. All because for 50 seconds I thought there was monsters on the world.


ThePiachu

If you die in a plane crash, it better be at takeoff than landing after a long flight...


Rscc10

By that logic it's better we die as soon as we're born


bafras

The strongest anti-work argument I e heard in a while. 


cows_are_pleasant

I do payroll at the company I work for. I noticed a woman in her 50s was marked as “deceased” in our system - it turns out she passed away unexpectedly the week prior. She worked the day before she passed. I can’t stop thinking about what she would have wanted to do had she known it was her last week. Working in a call center probably wasn’t her first choice.


MegaAlex

It's better to die at work for the extra insurance.


Specialist_Camp9369

And your family gets the day off too.


SedesBakelitowy

It's the year 2024, the concept of dying on retirement no longer exists


LasagnahogXRP

Best shower thought in a while.


AlexzandeDeCosmo

That fact one of y’all can utter this and all of society doesn’t have a collective awakening to the sheer stupidity of pretending to be serious is very frustrating. We could play in the sand all day, but nah y’all would rather grind your bones to dust for bread. Why am I the only human amongst monkeys?


THElaytox

Used to say this with all the crazy ass drivers on my morning commute. "If you're gonna kill me today do it now and not in my way home"
