France Telecom has 187,331 employees (wikipedia). It might be "a single company", but it's 9 times bigger than Google... Even if you restrict it to France (where I think these suicides occured), that's still roughly 100,000 employees, so 5 times Google. Of course it's sad and France Telecom should definitely improve the situation. Not a single employee should commit suicide because of work. But it's not staggering. France suicide rate is somewhere around 17 or 18 in 100,000.
