Tbh it ironically is a good headline to make fun of the company's empty words.

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

EY employee dies - company apathy

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.

The suicide of McKinsey Consultant

It’s so tragic, what the mother must be going through! No amount of ‘Learnings/work pressure’ justify this!

No one from her office came to her funeral

Product Head

This is truly truly heartbreaking to hear.

Bajaj Finance Manager's Tragic Suicide Amid Work Pressure

Journalist

What is wrong with the world? Why do thinks like these happen?

2 months down, people have forgotten about McKinsey Consultant's death...

Analyst

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?

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

Indian Express didn't even mention McKinsey and typed the name of saurabh laddha wrong...so that no one can search even by the name.
