On American Uber Engineer Suicide Case
Recently, there was a case of a Uber engineer killing himself. Here is part of what happened, if you're not aware of the news:
"SAN FRANCISCO - Last April, Joseph Thomas, a 33-year-old self-taught African-American computer engineer, turned down a job at Apple in order to work for Uber. Five months later, he had killed himself, leaving a trail of questions about whether the company's fierce work culture was to blame.
Thomas had left his previous employer LinkedIn, lured by a great salary, Uber's reputation for smart engineers, and the potential for future wealth. The $170,000-a-year job already allowed for the purchase of a "dream house" for his childhood sweetheart and wife, Zecole, and the couple's two young boys.
In August, Zecole found Thomas dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The tragic outcome, first reported in the San Francisco Chronicle Tuesday, has led to a lawsuit: His widow contends Uber's intense work culture was at fault.
"Uber's culture was different," Zecole Thomas told USA TODAY. "Here was a man who was very good at what he did, who took care of his family. But within months, he started to tell me that he ruined our life. That he was broken."
So... What can we conclude based on this story? What good can come from that? How can we handle new situations like that?
