Qin Chen, a 38 year old facebook employee, recently committed suicide and facebook is trying really hard to hide this.

Apparently he was too stressed out at work and was trying hard to steer things his way, he almost succeeded, but then his manager backstabbed him and left him helpless.

Instead of promoting a better work culture and taking steps against such malpractices at workplace, facebook is trying to hide this incident.

Facebook has to realize that them behaving this way not only insults the departed and his family, but also raises a question that is the life of any of their current employees of any value to facebook, or do they just look at them like workforce and not humans?

Let us not be silent. It was Chen yesterday, it could be any one of us tomorrow.

Source?

@C0D4 google it and you'll find the sources. Also, I saw techlead's video where he explains what happened to him in detail.

@drishi fake unless you link it

Google:

- YouTube video
- Reddit post
- Cnet.com article

Right, because all of these are credible.

@C0D4 that's how you ask for the source these days

@C0D4 you are free to think of it as fake and not believe it. Meanwhile, I'll just try to raise my voice to make workplaces more fair. Nobody jumps out of the 4th floor of the company's HQ to NOT make a statement.

@arcsector somebody died ffs. Can we please not post witty replies and the likes here, just on this post. I do appreciate you getting involved in the story though. Thank you.

@drishi I'm not saying it didn't happen, I just don't see how you managed to connect the dots from suicidal to "Facebook is so bad of an employee it made him jump"

You can be miserable and suicidal and still go to work, for some it's all they have left.

@C0D4 People working there have wrote tons of stuff on Blind about how toxic fb's culture is. Techlead, the guy who's video I linked is an ex fb employee and he thinks that this entire thing is pretty believable.

Also, the guy committed suicide publically at his workplace. That makes it believable for me.

@drishi it could always been the home situation.

And if it was work then why not quit? Heck you worked at Facebook. You can work almost anywhere.

@Codex404 he was on H1B visa.

Oh wow a multinational company is a stressful work environment? Is the sky also blue?

@tekashi your sarcasm always makes my day lmao

@tekashi don't you think the topic is a little heavy for a sarcastic remark?

A guy jumped off the roof of a building I worked at in London a few years ago. We didn't all rush to blame the company for this one guy's actions. The reality was he was seriously, mentally ill and for many reasons he did not get the help he needed. There were 1000 or so people employed by that company, one seriously ill guy committed suicide.

@drishi not really, why?

@tekashi the fact that you posted a sarcastic remark over someone's death and had the audacity to question where you went wrong speaks volumes about you.
You can be anonymous here and say stuff without repercussions, but you know who you are.

@drishi so? That makes it that you can't quit? Sure you may be send back to another country, but killing yourself only because of pressure at work seems a bit weird to me. No one kills themselves for a single thing.

@drishi nothing is to heavy for sarcasm, not even my mama

@Codex404 and yet my face still hurts from the other night 🥴

@drishi nigga i fuckin joke with my dead sister on the daily, you have no idea how insensitive i am

@Codex404 not everyone is psychologically strong enough to face such situations. It's sad really

@tekashi well then, I am sorry for judging you

Many work environments or stressful in this field

A balanced and healthy person would realize that it's just a job and you can get another Probably a better one

This person Wasn't mentally healthy

If it wasn't the job going sour that would do him in it might have been a million other things

For all we know he could have been silently schizophrenia and blamed the voices he heard on Facebook

That doesn't invalidate the need for reduction in stress in facebooks work environment though

Saying I could happen to any one of us is just not true, Unless any one of us was already having major problems or have had major problems in their lives.

A person does not go from mentally healthy to suicide just From a job job it might have Been the last Straw from a life of probably and sadly Hidden mental anguish

People die everyday. Suicides are committed everyday.

One is a tragedy, millions is just a statistic... right?

@Cultist maybe if we consider each one a tragedy, maybe millions won't be 'just a statistic' anymore.

As someone who's been suicidal in the past, to the extent of putting myself in the ICU several times, I have to say what you're doing here is remarkably disrespectful and far more shameful than anything Facebook may or may not have done.

Getting to that point involves a lot of things going wrong in a short period of time and lacking adequate coping skills. It's never been "this one event".

Pulling things like you are now is in large part responsible for why people claim those who suffer from this are seeking attention or have selfish motives.

When you truly want to die, when you've gotten to the point of ingesting several bottles of difficult to treat pills, or cutting through several arteries, it's not to make a statement. It's because you honestly because you're worthless scum and can't do anything right. Actual suicide isn't a form of martyrdom.

Please stop this bullshit. You're exploiting someone's death for a political agenda. It's shameful.
