He didn't quit his job, he just never returned... but before you praise him, there was also this: "He got a lawyer, and came to believe that returning to work might signal a degree of mental fitness detrimental to litigation. Instead, he spent eight weeks in Anguilla.
Eventually, Business Week had to let him go."

I think his friends should have wondered where was he.

I don't think they were his friends. I think they were just his colleagues. Just "office friends".
And usually a weekend gone wouldn't mean anything more to them than just "he was sick".

I mean... how in the world they didn't realize about the "bad"elevator... and how in the world no one even heard the man who was trapped there!!!! I mean: what the crap?!!??!

"Before long, an elevator-maintenance team arrived and, over the intercom, coached him through a set of maneuvers with the buttons. White asked what day it was, and, when they told him it was Sunday at 4 P.M., he was shocked. He had been trapped for forty-one hours. He felt a change in the breeze, which suggested that the elevator was moving."
I know you're not stating that it's the elevator's fault, I'm just making it clear to everyone else that the ELEVATOR WASN'T THE MAIN PROBLEM... and this is where I'm glad you blamed the maintenance for: IT WAS THE MAINTENANCE'S JOB TO CHECK EVERY ELEVATOR. And even worse: IT WAS SECURITY'S JOB TO CHECK THE CAMERAS.
Yeah, those guys suck.
