Dude had a psychotic break. The company was lucky that he didn't come at them with a weapon. Classic postal situation! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15289794 perhaps. but suicides have risen 30% in my age group (50+) because the workplace has become immensely hostile to people who actually focus on work. It's much more about image and being full of shit and "social" now. People, particularly right-wingers, like to blab a lot about "productivity" but people who are skilled and productivity are resented in today's America, not rewarded. I often wonder what would happen if those extra 10K suicides per year picked up guns instead of killing themselves. But another factor of age is that you realize the inevitability of societies failings, and that killing small, petty people solves nothing. |

I had the best job in the world and one day they brought in this new producer. She was clinically insane, loved to micromanage, create crisis where there was none to justify her position, waste money, fire people and scapegoat. Unfortunately she picked my name out of a hat to be her next victim. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47686041 yes, I've seen this at every company I've been at for the past seven years. America isn't about producing stuff anymore, it's about political infighting. I thought quite a bit about suicide over the past couple of years. The workplace has become an evil place for non-political people who simply want to show up and do their job, particularly if you're smart and motivated. other people resent you, sabotage you, slander you. and after a few years, you see it over and over again and realize the truth about people, that most people are small and petty, and that there's not much chance of a change under the current situation, which is more about destroying people than building stuff. only liars and cheaters can prosper in this system and so most people fall into that behavior, and justify it to themselves... "I was only following orders". |

Their lives can become better once they realize their way of interacting with the world can be bettered. The guy was a classic "Collector of Resentments". A textbook case. They spiral ever inwards. They polish up and focus on every real or imagined slight by others. They dwell upon these slights, and magnify these misunderstandings.

We are very, very fortunate that the deceased did not kill others. BUT I believe that he took the passive aggressive way out because he thought that it would vindicate him, and prove him right and others wrong -- and not through any compassion or humane impulse. He tried to make himself the ultimate victim of others. He became, instead, the ultimate textbook case of how potentially dangerous a classic "Collector of Resentments" employee can become -- both to himself, and potentially -- to others. We are fortunate that he left such a concise compendium of his career. All of us can learn from this: Employers, coworkers, and family members, of people who go down this path.

This reporter reported the news as it was but fox wanted him to report it from an angle that favours the agenda He did not so they fired him that's the way it is all news outlets do this only 3 days ago I read about a cancer victim fighting a court battle over his mortgage lost his house to bailiffs all the news portrayed him as a cancer patient who couldn't pay his mortgage but the truth is way more sinister I found a facebook group about it from the horses mouth and guess what turns out he had paid his mortgage for 25 years in its entirety the bank changed the status of his mortgage after 12 years without telling him so after the 25 he thought his policy was paid only to find out he wasn't paying an endowment mortgage but an interest tracker and he still apparently owed then 45k ... his house was only 43k to begin with when he bout it in 1988 .. the mainstream news outlets mentioned nothing of this ... so yea I sympathise with the employee there is an agenda |

I would love to see how things like this repeated across the nation actually change the behavior of the population. I would guess that it is very powerful. I understand the reason why they use the same copy and it is probably not intentional but it could be. and this as well...just a tiny peek behind the curtain. This is one of the most amazing documentaries I have ever seen. Keep watching for a bit...I am not kidding this is an eye opener. |

Quoting: A Muse Fox News reporters fired for exposing Monsanto this clarifies things. The young man who committed suicide was definitely driven into it by the constant set ups he experienced by management, in my opinion. The appeals court, by throwing the reporters case out, said that news channels do not have to tell the truth. These news channel are advertisers, propaganda mills and offer no new at all unless petty. Thats why so many people have stopped reading papers, watching the propaganda called 'news' on tv and are resorting to the internet to seek alternative news. This country is like soviet russia when TASS was the propaganda paper of the day. The Russian people knew everything was a lie or biased and they said that they learned to read between the lines, We haven't had real news in decades; all the news media - papers, tv and radio - is owned by just a few corporations who control information. We no longer have freedom of the press; haven't had for many years. Fox is the worst of the worst. The young man who killed himself knew he would not work again in tv news after fox news; he cared deeply about his career and was young enough and naive enough to believe in fairness. The seasoned, older and more realistic reporters who tried to get their Monsanto story out were hardened enough and aware enough to fight back with all their tools of experience. But even then, after initially winning, the corporate owned courts threw out the initial ruling in favor of the monster corporation. So the reporters proved how useless "NEWS" reporting in America is. The poor kid with his whole heart and soul in his job, and his honor and pride in being a good journals, was destroyed under the machinations of the third rate propaganda channel. Rest in Peace young idealistic journalist. |
