A Facebook engineer just committed suicide last week due (allegedly) to workplace bullying made possible in part by his immigration status. Something like 45 women from Google just came forward claiming they were retaliated against for bringing up sexual harassment claims to HR this week.
You can’t generalize the claim that things are different at FAANGs either.
- barry-cotter 7y agoDon’t Facebook and Google each have over 100K employees just in their Bay Area offices? This is like FoxConn[1]. You can be doing substantially better than average and still have constant bad news by virtue of your size alone. [1] The suicide rate among their employees was below the general population’s.
- undefined3840 7y agoNo...Google has 100k employees worldwide. Facebook is something like 30k worldwide.
- hobofan 7y ago> The suicide rate among their employees was below the general population’s. Was their suicide rate lower or higher then that of employees with a similar socioeconomic status?
