Everyone I've known at Amazon seems aware of the problems in the environment. Amazon is a high pressure, high growth company. I don't believe that people are missing a sense of compassion for folks who are not compatible with the working situation. I agree with you on the idea that contemplating suicide is problematic- but to say there is a single problem is a gross oversimplification. I don't like this blogpost either- but the problem isn't just a suicidal employee. Managers have an obligation to both the company and their staff to help employees navigate these situations as best as possible. In the case of this jumper, someone might have dropped the ball. It's also just as possible that there was no ball dropped. The CDC says ~42k Americans commit suicide every year. Suicides aren't just about one thing usually. What are the circumstances in the life of the person who jumped that warrant this peevish posting? I don't see anything here other than an opportunistic post by someone emotional. They clearly have been asking for help and continue to suffer on some level. It's exploitative to use someone else's suicide attempt to draw attention to your own employment problems. Whether or not it's their employer that is the true source of the problem is unknowable. This is the Internet! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
