    I am not surprised. That place must be a place with HUGE pressure in EVERY aspect of what they do. So much for good company culture. Maybe they should learn that there, starting with the upper ranks. Someone really needs to reign in on management at that site.

    I mean its obvious there is a problem when they have to erect safty nets to dissuade people from jumping off there building to try and kill themselves,

    but when the emploies are trying to kill themselves so badly that they are taking the time and effort to calculate how to hit the ground through the small gap inbetween,

    that is a damn large red flag
