Sandeep Shelke, a software engineer from Pune has committed suicide by jumping off a 7 story building in Erendawane, Pune. Before committing suicide, he SMS'ed his brother saying he is committing suicide because he is unable to handle work load.

People are already getting strokes in IT companies mostly due to the overload of work. Many who develop stress deal with it by becoming chain smokers! Now suicides? What an irony that people long for a 'good life' in IT companies and soon end up screwing their own as in such cases, let alone the flourishment of the hobbies & interests! :oops:

how bout just quitting the damn job and finding another. After that if he cant find one or becomes broke which is highly unlikely... then atleast one could see the point in commiting suicide.

I do feel sorry for him. But he choose the wrong career.

If I chose the job as a farmer, I'll prolly die of heat stroke. :(

Chances of a farmer dieing of heat stroke are far less as compared his chances of committing suicide due to debt.

Uh oh! I said about myself. If I enter farming, I'll die of heat stroke even before I get a loan from any bank.

I guess DJMikey works in Persistent Systems too....

See, no matter what U do workload is always there. Have a disctraction for yourself & make a habit that U won't work after the office timings are over, simple.

It's not only the workload, but also the people around. Some TLs and managers can be a real pain in the a$$ :mad:

Suicide is the last thing he should have committed if he was under work pressure... And the WTF thing about him is his linkedln profile.

"Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay"

When IIT'ians start committing suicide because of work pressure then I find is horribly horribly ODD, I don't want to sound mean but I don't think that "work pressure" was the only reason for an IIT'an to commit suicide

life is complex now. Simplicity is lost.
I remember this one poem in 11th (or 12th) class where the poet yearn to laugh as he used to in his childhood and try to learn it from a child.

The career section of the Persistent website ends with "Life Rocks at Persistent" yes now we all know that for sure. When I left Persistent I thought I was the only person facing the trouble there. But thank god I left it. When the work load became like 13 to 14 hours daily and sitting without food. I complained to the managers to change my project. They said they can't do that. I could never throw my hands up in the air that enough is enough. They said you have no other option than to work in this project. I wrote them a letter I am never coming back to persistent again and that was it and never went to the persistent office again. Good Lord. They make it feel like a bloody sweatshop and now they have blood on their hands. The managers earlier in this company used to feel like hell and now they are taking revenge. It is good in some forms but it sucks your energy and makes you work like a addict. Good I left it. Hoping it is seen in a right way for these guys to amend themselves these business managers are making a fortune and neglecting their poor workers. Thats it. Persistent : Life is hell at persistent.

See you can not blame all people or any organization as whole. If you have concern then say to the people or the higher managements. As you have said that you was having some problem so you send a mail and just leave. Why dont you follow the same path as the guy has done. Ending a life is not a solution for any problem. Also for your information he was from IIT-B so i think the pressure he has in IIT-B is more than any work pressure he may have face in any IT company.

So I feel sad for his family which is going under turma which we can just understand. :(
