Fired Fox employee kills himself at News Corp HQ, says network 'ruined his life' and posts videos

HELLLLLOOOOO?!?!?!?!?!

It's what HR - or a higher up - will DO when they are planning to get rid of you without cause.....they look for soemthing - anything - they can pin on you to have a case to can you.

GROW UP!!! It's how business is done. Grow a set and get over it.

Good point. A good manager would find a way of directing that energy, not telling him to go home with pay just to get rid of him.

If this kid could'v held on he could'v run his own business one day easily.

If all OWS shitstains like this did the right thing and off'd themselves, the world would be a better place.

Oh god help us, some young people perceived the injustice occurring on Wall Street and wanted to demonstrate against it. What the hell are you doing with you're life?

that's how SheBoss's work. The psychopathic Mommy like whisper campaign works extremely well on higher ups.

Ive seen it plenty

You moran, that doesn't address the basic issue. That's like seeing someone with scurvy and giving him a cot to rest on instead of vitamin C to cure him.

You fuckin idiot fuck you!!!!!

My impression of the guy is that he was generally difficult to work with. Not much of a team player, and somewhat obsessive.

That said, there are plenty of assholes in the corporate world who love to pigeon-hole good workers and treat them as a mere rung on their own ladder to personal success. This guy made himself a target with his attitude.

When jerks are mixed with jerks, nothing good can come of it.

wow.

This man had issues RIP. That said, the corporate world is merciless, and full of psychopaths. It is really institutionalized psychopathy.

This guy sound like a nut case...

So, he had a disagreement with a women... he was testing her...

Nuts...

Have to agree completely. What a selfish end.

Exactly !
Who knows if he may have gone
to work with a gun and his issues.
Fox also had/has the obligation to protect
it's other sane employees.

Was she was 'testing' him? As far as 'bullying' is concerned, my opinion is in workplace environments,and elsewhere, in general women are worse than men, and much more prone to 'bullying'.

:glp111:

Oh, no a butt hurt libritard offs himself!

So I was looking at the youtube videos listening to his voice.

Very well parsed and terse message lots of dreams and some squeaks from his feelings of tears.

There is a background fuzz to his language. His tone of voice is synthetically altered, like the musicians of today's "magic box" sort of music.

There's something in the background that is doing a cross-wise thing.

O-kay, so here is when maybe some of you "news hounds" for Fox News here will do some (she's crazy) epithets or whatever, but I must continue the comment despite the trash hood of that sort of news that makes things so rotten.

Obviously males are dying at Fox. At FX too, it's a cartel mentality, just stealing ideas from the population via warrantless wiretap laws, turning it into profit. Seen similar designs in Communist Bloc companies, spying on the neighbors to steal their life for exploitative profit.

At some point I'm wondering if he did this as a publicity stunt, or Fox did. On several occasions the stories I've read in the paper have turned out to be lies and the photos are bogus with names and the people aren't dead.

I'm not entertaining those utopian dreams of the late employee. Shilling for the company, no sympathy.

No, it's not a pills and forgetaboutit, a few crazy shaming hate words, the design at Fox news is take the dropout shit writers, add some state news by force, make them seem smart, and cut up the reporters until they barely look human in front of a camera. Green screens too. In a world without boundaries, they try to wedge a reality in a box.

They wedged that guys reality in a box. How does that 15 minutes of fame feel like? Like shit.

This whole thing is a sad and sorry testimony to our current bloated over lawyered over psychologisted over degreed and complete lack of balls pathetic society.

All I had to hear was "Austin" and I knew where this was going.

Bunch of whiners all cryin about each other.

Of course.
That is what a normal person would do.
This guy was an attention seeking lunatic.
Throw in Delusions of Grandeur for the icing on the cake.

Thank God this disgruntled employee
took it out on himself and not a dozen innocent
fellow workers.

We must work endlessly to find those that forced this man to work for FOX against his will.

No doubt hostages were taken and threats made to force this poor man to work under inhumane conditions.

I suppose finding another job or starting a business was too much work?

Employers are not there to make your life work for you.

Buy a clue.

also this could be another gray park director for all we know. Bellsouth and ATT employees have been knocked off in the past. the corporation must protect its image at all costs. watch the movie Renaissance. "Avalon, we're on your side."

He's obviously smarter than his boss and this is where the frustration comes in. I've listened to over half of the videos.

She lies, and tries to put everything on him.. Who can blame him for resenting her. He knows her job better than she does.. but shes making 6 figures.. and he's living check to check.

She KNOWS that he is onto her incompetence, so she wants to get rid of him.

She's a fraud and a phony who got her job bc of someone she knows or befriended above her. Period.

If people would be promoted based on merit and performance, the corporate world would be better.. but it's not.. its on how you look, and who the fuck you know!

His videos prove how much of a fraud, liar, manipulator Lorena is. It shouldn't be a popularity contest.. it should be about how well you can do your work.

GET WOMEN OUT OF THE WORKPLACE!!!

Corporations, small businesses, are not mental health experts. On a grand scale I would say everyone, including employees, only look out for themselves. People don't want to get involved.
Very sad indeed.

You talkin' to GLPers?! Talkin' to the wrong people, bud.

True enough but it's not his to control.

That's how nature is.

If you want to control it, you get it on your own or convince the owner that you can do a better job for him.

What you DONT do is demand that you get to take over.
It's just the way it is.

Do you think the unions took over businesses because of their good works or the fact that they blackmailed and threatened their way into control?

Perea went about it all wrong. Two similar situations happened to me. Before I continue with my accounts of dealing with NEW "bosses from hell", I had received sterling reviews from my previous bosses in the same companies. My experience was, as I said, SIMILAR to Perea's, but, of course, not exactly the same.

1. In the first case, I was denied a promotion I deserved (scoring highest among 25 applicants and after two years with the company, compared to the person who got the promotion who, although a brand new hire to the company, did have a college degree, which I lacked (even though his degree was immaterial and unrelated to the position). After appealing to higher-ups without satisfactory result, I simply quit -- and was immediately hired by another company which promoted me after only five months to an even higher position that I was denied at Company No. 1 -- at much higher pay.

2. At a completely different company years later, my boss, a new V.P, called me into her office and told me that my work was unsatisfactory, although she gave no specific examples. [Previous to her arrival, I had received consistent "rave reviews" and regular merit raises. However, about a month before, the corporation president asked me about a decision this V.P. had made that involved mistreatment of the office staff, as I was the office manager, and I told the president the truth.] Anyway, after the "dressing down" by the V.P., of course I was furious, but instead of quitting (which she probably hoped I would do), I began to VOLUNTARILY give daily one-page summaries of my actions, decisions and results for that day to the VP, with each report ending with a polite request for suggestions for improvement. But -- surprise, surprise and wonders of wonders! -- NO suggestions were made; and after about a month of these daily reports, this V.P. told me to desist, and there was no more criticism of me, although to say that we were "coldly professional" with each other would just about sum up our relationship thereafter. As a P.S. to this whole mess, she developed cancer a few months later -- KARMA!!! -- and was dead within a year. (I can't honestly say I mourned her passing.)

Anyway, corporate bullshit DOES exist, but there are much better ways of dealing with it than committing suicide. Yes, one SHOULD fight it as best as one can, but one should be SMART about it. Perea was intelligent, but just not very smart.

She looks like a psychotic asshole.

The GM and manager are psychopath, but the employee was also stubborn and obsessive and is not without fault.

1. All he had to do was admit that he used poor judgement by choosing to post a picture of the chief of police which made him look bad. But he never own up to that.

2. The biggest mistake the employee made was showing his hands too early by threatening legal action. He should have not even mention that.

I think if he had not done those two things , then he would still be alive and employed today.

I looked at some of his pseudo-lawsuit amateur complaints and discovered the following:

- his boss Lorena seems to have an oxy habit with her word slurs. She wants to bring a friend into the company. There's your problem, bad chemistry between the (dead) guy with the Asperger's relating to his normal-yet-addicted boss lady who wants to degrade him. Yes, it's degrading work environment instead of focusing on the product, focusing on wants for direction.

- that other boss lady, she is not using professional management conduct. "I" "you" are not company. Sounds like an argument between ex-boyfriends or something, the historic wrongs that add up to the not liking one another thing. Stick to corporate design.

- he was wrong in trying to override boss design. if they're fuck ups they are fuck ups, but overriding trail runs and stuff is for their failure not his own, and that would reveal itself through time.

Look, if he wasn't good, just get the dude fired, don't even share your feelings with him. It's not professional to talk feelings. Leave your feelings at the door.

Dealing with consumer grade news with ugly news desk talent and snarks and quips and craps about daily life every day is what is the hell wrong with news shows in general. Fox, I quit TV because of product like yours.

The guy grew a conscience and did the appropriate response.

Pretty sure you look through all those veteran suicides, they did it after watching Fox News.
