Be gentle with each other. You never know what someone is going through.

In this case, it was the window.

Did he have help?

[Red Badger]

Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.......................

[cp124]

AI told him to.

[Red Badger]

😜🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️.........................

[Penelope Dreadful]

I wonder if he had Downs Syndrome??? Seriously though, I wonder if he had lost his job? If so, he may have been frightened about upcoming changes he would be going through. Some people do not handle change well - which I think is why so many Americans live in another year. For Liberal whites, it is the 1950s, for many Freepers, it is still the Cold War Era, and the Commies are out to get us. For blacks, dey still be back in Slavery/Jim Crow years. It is amazing to me how many Americans do not live in 2023.

[BigFreakinToad]

the AI did it.

"That must have hurt."

Not so much the jumping as the landing.

[HYPOCRACY]

Selfish POS.

[Wuli]

High paying job he thought would last forever and racked up debt that could bancrupt him, and then got a laid off notice.

[GaltAdonis]

Right - it's not the fall that kills you.
It's the sudden stop...

My mother committed suicide in the summer following my graduation from high school. A nephew killed himself just five years ago. The family never recovers. Some feel disgrace, but most try to second guess if they were the reason or failed to be the prevention. I know you and I share a permanent and profound wound.

[caww]

People who commit suicide always leave a trail of misery for others behind them. I’s generally a very selfish act.

[Rappini]

He fell 14 floors and they said he was unconscious, unbelievable.

[cgbg]

AI wet work!

[GingisK]

It is a selfish act. I think it also shows an inability to steer one’s own life and a strong tendency to want to retain conditions that might not be particularly important. Those in physical anguish get a pass from me.

In February, fellow coworker Jacob Pratt, 33, was found dead inside his apartment on February 16.

Hmm, not sure Google is offering a good work.life balance.

[Beowulf9]

That way of dying I’ve always found horrifying. That jump. Man, he didn’t die right away.

Well, woke or not condolences to his loved ones. I’m sure they are feeling devastated.

[caww]

Perhaps they see no other options....especially those in long term physical anguish.

[Dr. Sivana]

Yeah, I thought that was a weird comment. Unless the reporter thinks the guy was pushed.
,br> I think the weirdness was saying "in what appears to be" "apparent suicide". You can say either, but saying both is redundant. Every apparent suicide "appears to be" a suicide. That is what apparent means.

I bet that if these big tech companies had not interfered in the 2020 election, there wouldn't have been all of these layoffs under a Trump second term.

For Twitter, they would still have their cushy jobs, but no, their zeal to get rid of Trump and censoring conservatives backfired on them. Elon Musk would not have even considered buying Twitter if they just kept it straight.

Now this guy jumps out the window, and another hanged himself. Probably were ones that cheered and danced in the streets when Brandon got "elected".
