Insurance Report

I have a part time job at an insurance corporation. I do basic file work and data entry. It is, for the most part, quite boring. It is monotonous.

This morning I found a file in my in-box that I needed to set up, typical stuff. However when I read why it was reported it made my heart skip a little.

A man jumped from his seventh floor apartment. It was filed with my insurance company for "reporting purposes only", Corporate America covering its ass.

It just seems a bit crazy. I'm sure the people who found the man, apparently still gasping for life, are scared and upset, but the manager had to set those feelings aside because a report had to be made.

It seems really messed up to me. We need to report that the dead are dead so corporations can safeguard themselves against grieving family members.
