I mean, they would have let him leave the company, right? It seems unreasonable to blame Amazon for this guy’s tragic decision, since any reasonable person would have taken a more reasonable exit.
- mlazos 7y agoThis seems a little cold to me. The fact that there’s an environment at amazon that leads someone to kill themself by jumping off a building doesn’t lead me to think “oh a more reasonable person would’ve left the company.” There’s plenty of other things wrong about the article. This true story was not one of them.
- mzz80 7y agoI didn't read the article. But to think that a more reasonable person would have left the company is exactly you should think. If someone jumps off a building due to not being able to join their team of choice then there's a lot...a lot, more going on than job issues. They needed help that they unfortunately never received.
