At first, I thought "he protested, of course they fired him". However: if someone dies of suicide within an organization, there is likely a serious (and deadly) problem within that organization. If the workers do not speak out, such a problem would go unfixed, and may cascade.
Therefore the workers must speak out, for the safety of themselves and their co-workers.
The discourse around mental health is in a sorry state. Everyone says that they care but it is usually backed by non-action - and in this case, action in the retrograde direction. I want to hope that things will change but it is hard to do so. Maybe the conversation will change as the depression epidemic continues to grow.
