EY Pune..

A heartbreaking incident in Pune has drawn attention to the pressures of corporate life, as a 26-year-old employee at Ernst & Young (EY), Anna Sebastian Perayil, tragically passed away after only four months in her role as a chartered accountant. Her mother, Anita Augustine, attributes her daughter’s death to an overwhelming workload, sparking a vital conversation about the mental health challenges faced by employees in high-pressure environments.

In a moving letter addressed to Rajiv Memani, the Chairman of EY India, Anita painted a picture of Anna as a dedicated and ambitious professional who excelled academically. However, upon entering the corporate world, she struggled to cope with the demands of a job that often required long hours, including weekends. This relentless pressure led to significant anxiety and exhaustion, ultimately taking a toll on her health. What is even more shocking is that no one from the company went to Anna’s funeral, her mother said.

i do not think the IT colleagues attend the funeral.. There will be 3 minutes of silence and a small meeting in the company that's it. this is not 1980's where every one visits the funeral..
