What's the point of the question in your post? Everyone will forget this in a heartbeat. That's always how it is. You could have a  person dying every month and that wouldn't change anything. 
  
 Aside for from that, it's wild that someone decided to jump from their balcony to take their life. I would have considered something less painful.

@Node Weirdly I met friends last week in Mumbai and they were telling me about a friend who used to work with him. He is literally going through a lot, because of whataboutism. In some ways it is hard for you to not blame yourself for saving someone, even if you couldn't have done anything because you didn't know.

It is just hard.

Powerful people need slaves to enjoy life. So noone will talk about them. Even co-workers don't care because they want to become powerful too by licking the a** of managers/bosses/owners etc.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Saurabh Kumar Laddha was a 25-year-old consultant at McK Mumbai. On February 23, 2024, Saurabh returned from a work trip to Ahmedabad and, later that evening, took his own life by jumping from the ninth floor of his apartment in Wadala, Mumbai. The police attributed his death to work pressure.

Saurabh was literally IITM+IIMC. He joined McK as a junior analyst in August 2022. 

Do you really think it can be attributed to work pressure? I know of friends in the MBB circuit and at it's best they have to work long hours and at it's worst it is the manifestation of the most toxic culture that pushes people to either take anti-depressants or uppers to work harder.

I was on Reddit today and saw these comments. It is just sad that this country can't do justice to those who choose to stay behind.

8 months ago, McK employee lost his life. It's a shame that everyone has forgotten about this.

This is truly truly heartbreaking to hear.

McKinsey consultant commits suicide due to work pressure :(

The fact that Mck tried to cover up its name in investigation is sad

Corporate Strategist

As I am reading articles on LinkedIn about this 25-year old's suicide, it seems more and more like the corporate version of Sushant Singh Rajput's death/suicide.

It is extremely sad that people are trying to milk this and gain some views / increase their reach.

It is doubly sad that people are nonchalantly calling him "weak" and trying to pin the blame of his weakness on educational institutions, family, office etc..

I would like to pose the same question which was posed at the end of the movie Bhakshak:

"Doosron ke dukh mein samvedansheel hona bhool gaye Hain kya? Kya ab bhi hum apni ginti insanon mein karte hain, ya khud ko Bhakshak Maan liya hai humne?"

Absolutely gut wrenching, how low people can get with these issues.

Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

Put the same on LinkedIn and tag the bloody manager.

Some context, feeling angry

Sincere request to all the so-called linkedin and twitter “influencers” to stop literally mooching off the dead soul to create content & gyaan around mental health. Please stop naming him and spare some dignity/privacy and respect for him?

It is enough of a shame that his name has been revealed in public. Why are we deteriorating it further? Is there no empathy left?

Legally too, btw the case is under investigation.

McK suicide case

Sometimes, instead of chasing after these high-profile companies, it's better to find contentment in a mediocre company that does a good job and truly values its employees. I feel awful reading this. No one should ever have to face such a situation.

It’s high time that big 4 and other firms start recognising the importance of actual working hours!

When do we normalise to prioritise health?

Doctors come together and protest for a crime, their unity makes a deaf CM answerable, whole India sees them, support them. Now the question is, will CAs or the whole finance community come together to protest?

Sad reality. Anyone from EY here know about this? Any such examples of such toxic work culture at your workplace?

Apparently the company is trying really hard to do damage control but the cat is out of the bag. They’ve been abhorrent in the way they conduct their company.

This is a tight slap to anyone who expects unreasonable working hours without fair compensation.

**Story**

On October 7th, their reporting manager set some alarming expectations right off the bat. The manager demanded unpaid overtime and excessive work hours beyond what's typically considered reasonable.

When the employee tried to establish healthy boundaries and bring up work-life balance, the manager's response was dismissive and mocking. He belittled these concepts as "fancy terms" and "Western developed nation behavior," implying they had no place in this work environment. The manager even ridiculed the employee's desire for personal time to read and exercise, treating these basic needs as mere excuses.

There's a significant difference between voluntarily putting in extra effort for your own passionate project versus being coerced into overwork by an established, profitable company.

What do you think about this?
