Don't you just love people who don't have the tea bags to say things to your face? Do you think he may have used a pseudonym?
Speaking of elevator shafts, TRUE STORY.
This happened prior to 1979 when I began working at my present place of employment, but I've never heard anyone contradict the story.
One day an employee went missing and didn't report back to the shop to clock out. Trying to be a good guy, the supervisor tried to cover for him by changing the time sheet to reflect that he left on personal leave.
He didn't show up the next day.
Nor was he seen or heard from for the next two weeks, after which time his body was discovered in the bottom of one ofthe elevator shafts.
To get an idea of the fall he took, this occurred on the third floor, but this was an industrial building with very high ceilings and three intermediate mezzanine floors. It was probably equivalent to at least a six story drop in a regular office building.
The supervisor was severely reprimanded, and no doubt never covered for anyone again; at least without being fully aware of the circumstances.
