That’s extremly sad to hear. Not saying that the company or anyone owed him anything but we do live in a really mean world. In an alternate universe or maybe eveb a different country nobody would be pushed into taking such decisions as taking their own life.
- refracture 4y agoI had my timeline off; it was a few years later. In any case it was really sad to hear, back in the dark days of my active Facebook use I was friends with a friend of his, his family was very heart broken and I learned more than I cared to of the specifics of his end. He had apparently took up delivering pizza instead of IT, it was pretty awkward when he delivered Pizza to one of us. Another one of us felt so bad about how it all went down that he kept in regular contact with him right up to when he passed away. Another coworker however chose to his interactions with this guy as the basis of a post on /r/talesfromtechsupport to win internet points. I have chosen to keep my strongest memory of this man based around the one potlock we had while he was with us; he brought in an amazing habanero salsa and was a pleasure to chat with. I miss some of the people but I don't miss working there.
