Hey Bob. Bob?

Business Week has an interesting article on what to do when a co-worker is suddenly no longer a co-worker.

If a co-worker, seemingly at ease in his or her job, disappears one random day, don't expect an explanation from your employer. If the departure was shocking in its suddenness, ethical violations may be a factor (but not necessarily). And unless the company makes a habit of unanticipated head-choppings, your job is probably in no more danger than on any other day.
