Why don’t we have a strict labor laws 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t get the part why a company is blamed. The guy was 25, he is not a kid anymore, if you can’t take it just quit.
What’s the expectation? Give me all the money in the world cos others are working hard and delivering results, but don’t expect me to do the work. Don’t put pressure on me, or stress me out, just keep paying the salary. I don’t understand the response to this story. Instead of raising awareness that quitting a hectic job they can’t handle is fine and a good thing, you lot are driving your anger towards a company for making them work?
What do you think happened in any society previously? Capitalism, communism, whatever. Only societies where people didn’t work and got paid resulted in severe inflation, deaths, or revolts. See France 1700s, Russia 1906 1917, spain 1600s, china and Russia in the 20th century.
As usual we are excellent at taking the wrong lessons because it feels good, and makes you feel like a good person for performative anger and even having a good pleasant thought.
There is a limit to the pressure you can put on an individual.
As a manager, it is his/her JOB to figure out what amount of pressure the individual can take, whether they are good fit for the role. If not, then what are the options for the individual.
So it’s not just performative anger, but an expectation of a bare minimum requirement from supposedly the world’s leading strategy consulting company who advertise everywhere that they recruit the world’s brightest minds.
Your assumptions are what makes this a performative anger.
1/ You assume even bare minimum is not done. People can commit suicide even when firms do way more (and wouldn’t publicize that). Kinda self serving assumption to try to justify to yourself.
2/ How much pressure was on him? Do we know that? The threshold is different for different people. How do we quantify that. You shouldn’t be giving platitudes with no basis.
3/ role of a manager is to get things done. One person not being able to take some pressure means others in the team would pick up slack. If 2-3 cannot then how does anyone deliver? You confuse manager w a mind reader who would exactly calibrate the limit for everyone.
How the fuck Is it fair to those who can take more pressure? “Hey since you can take more pressure, here is more work than others. Thank you!”
Brightest minds argument is just envy. Pointless to even talk about that.
McKinsey and Indian Express...
They got some deal.

You're reading too much into it. Some girl in college committed suicide and absolute radio silence. Even weird suicide cases in tier 3 colleges don't get named in newspaper on the name of college repo and students future. A big MNC can suppress way more than your average college
Who goes to mckinsey these days? And there is a such hype about mckinsey? Feels to me like tier 3 firm something like Yahoo which no one cares about
