Re: French Postal Worker Suicide 71st In A Year
I know that this job can be stressful, and if you or I were to allow this stress to permeate our working lives without notice then, suicide for some might be the only answer. It is not of course, but I am wondering how much worse should it be allowed to fester while those in the know still do nothing.
BELIAL tells us (from an earlier spate of tragedies) that an investigation was (and still is ongoing) into workplace harassment. That earlier discussion of that triple tragedy (from the same sorting office) is to be found here...
