Story as old as information tech forcing organizations to hire the often timid and conflict averse personalities that love working on tech. The org views tech positions as an annoyance and less than critical cost center, so they recklessly understaff those departments and overwork those employees. This leads to all sorts of mental health problems that eventually lead to a breaking point. In these 5 cases the breaking point was suicide. It turns out the human mind can only be stretched so thin before it fucking snaps.
