And while we are on the subject of uncaring co-workers, Fox News reports: "Co-workers leave Colorado man behind on mountain summit during office retreat." The article begins:
An injured Colorado man weathered a storm and survived a night alone on a mountain after his co-workers left him behind during an office retreat, rescue officials said Sunday.
The man was part of a group of 15 co-workers who had set off to summit Mount Shavano on Friday, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue South said.
"In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone," the agency said.
The male hiker, who was wearing all black, reached the summit at 11:30 a.m. and became disoriented as he began his descent. He found that belongings left in the boulder field to mark the path for the descent had been picked up by the previous group as they hiked down.

His co-workers knew that he was having difficulties finding the trail in the early afternoon, but did not bother to contact search and rescue until 9 pm. By that time, a storm had blown in and search and rescue was unable to reach the summit.
The following morning, the man regained enough cell service to call 911 for help. He was found above the North Fork drainage in a gully below Esprit Point.
The man told rescuers that he had become disoriented and fell at least 20 times during his attempt to descend alone. He said that after his last fall, he was unable to get up.
"This hiker was phenomenally lucky to have regained cell service when he did, and to still have enough consciousness and wherewithal to call 911," rescuers said. "Though he was located in a tertiary search area, it would have been some time before teams made it to that location on their own."

They probably took his red stapler while he was stuck on the mountain.
How do you know that you're the unpopular guy? The leave you on the mountain to die.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to know what company he worked for. If they treat their employees this way, imagine how they treat their customers!
