" it is unlikely a sample of FTEs is going to reflect the general population for suicides so that isn't a very powerful argument." Actually, the data frames the argument quite well, moreover, there's nary any way one is going to get better sampling. " if management pressure is so bad it is provoking suicides then there will be lots of evidence for it" It's incredulous to suggest that 'management is provoking suicides'. It is completely absurd. When, in modern history do you suggest that this has ever happened? Ever? Wouldn't people quit their jobs? Or get different jobs before resorting to 'death'? We could all easily demonstrated working conditions elsewhere in the Western world where conditions are 'just as bad' - ergo, the logic of 'they were provoked into suicide' makes no sense whatsoever. And FYI my data demonstrated that the number of suicides is well within normalized range. An variation of 20% in one year is going to be normal.
