Well, yes and no

Suicide is one thing. But Facebook's refusal to change anything as regarding to the cause of this employee's passing is jarring, for stuff like fire fast, highly stressful Sev meeting and etc, and super high peer pressure.

Even Amazon does change its way of handling internal transfer after employee's attempted suicide.

Not to mention there are Facebook employees defending on other places, claiming this is nothing burger, because Facebook's suicide rate is below national average, which ironically signals the issue is indeed internal and not normal.

Comparing against the national average seems like BS anyway. The suicide rate of employees in any given company should be compared to suicide rates of other populations of people with comparable incomes, opportunities, etc. For instance, how does the suicide rate in Facebook compare to Google? Or how does the suicide rate in one Facebook department compare to another?
