A France Telecom employee committed suicide on Thursday, becoming the 25th staff member to kill himself over the past 20 months, a company official said.
The 48-year-old engineer hung himself in his Brittany home, one month after he had taken medical leave following a recommendation from the company doctor.
The latest death brought to 25 the number of employees who have taken their lives since February last year at France Telecom, a former state monopoly that has been under major restructuring.
Many of the employees have left notes blaming management decisions or stress at work.
The 25th death came just one day after a Telecom technician tried to hang himself at his Marseille home but was rescued just in time.

I think this is very sad.
>>I think this is very sad.<<
Having to actually work for a living drives these sorry SOBs off their trolley.
If their grip was so tenuous it was bound to happen anyway.
It is happening here, but in a different way. In the past 2 weeks there have been no less than 3 fathers who shot and killed or seriously injured their wives, with their kids in the house, and then turned the guns on themselves. 2 dead, one injured. This is all within 30 miles of where I live.
Its getting desperate out there. Almost time.........
I just can’t picture the French killing themselves...except, that is, the suicide bombers among the Muslim immigrants.
Almost time....for what?
What a horrible thing for a child to experience. Can’t even imagine.
Its almost time for the pressure cooker to blow in this country. Somethings got to give.
