> there was no-one at his desk

Sounds like a vacancy

Yeah. I thought the story would end with the HR person saying, “Oh. Turns out Bob died. I guess you’re hired. Have Bob’s office.”

That or the HR person sits the interviewee down and wanders off assuming the desk owner will come back soon with a fresh cuppa.

Cut to some time later, the interviewee's skeleton is sitting there still waiting. Maybe I've read too much Douglas Adams.
