    Unhappy Persistent Systems (Pune) Employee commits suicide - couldn't handle work load

    CEans,

    I just came to know that Sandeep Shelke - employee of Persistent Systems Limited, a Pune baseed IT firm, has committed suicide. As reported by this website -

    Star Majha - View News

    [Translation: Sandeep Shelke, a software engineer from Pune has committed suicide by jumping off a 7 story building in Erendawane, Pune. Before committing suicide, he SMS'ed his brother saying he is committing suicide because he is unable to handle work load.]

    Here is his linkedin profile: Sandeep Shelke - LinkedIn

    and his IIT B homepage: Sandeep Shelke's Homepage

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    We are very sad to hear the news. We want your opinion on growing frustration among IT engineers.

    May Sandeep's soul rest in peace.

    That is indeed sad My condolences to his family for their loss.

    One wonders.. why would he choose suicide above other options?

    Keep it simple. Keep it real.

    That's what I've been thinking about. Suicide - the final step to solve all problems?

    Agreed that there is growing frustration among IT engineers. Most of them either have no work - or have lot of work.

    Can't we teach others how to handle stress?

    This is very sad. But I'm not sure if Persistent Systems is responsible for this. May be the project manager is to blame. Or may be he was a weak hearted person and couldn't handle stress. But considering he was from IIT B, its surprising.

    We cannot comment on that. It could be anything - either the manager, or the client, his team-mates - we just don't know!

    Whatever happened is very sad. I'm still wondering - how can the things go so bad for anyone to commit suicide?

    Truely it's very sad. I have all the sympathy for him but I can't blame anyone else for his sucide.
    God has given us birth of a human (so called most intelligent animal on earth planet) and by suciding you are losing that chance.

    If something is not happening good around you, that means god is buisy in creating something more beautiful for you. So you have to wait and struggle with current difficulties. After all life is all about hits and misses.

    To talk about frustration in IT industry it's not breaking news. If you try to find out, hardly 20-30% people in IT industry are happy with work what they are doing. Sucide can't be solution to any problem in life.

    Hi,

    Suicide is not the solution for anything and hence dont blame anyone here for the same.

    If you are not able to handle stress, my advice is please meet a Psychiatrist. In that way, you will help yourself and help others (by not giving your near and dear ones the kind of mental torture because of your actions)...........

    Why blame managers, colleagues or clients for anything?? If you cannot handle these, then we are best Not in the industry for what ever reason..........

    This does not solve the problem ............... rather it aggrevates the problem for others............

    Regards,
    Alamelu

    I agree. If one cannot handle stress, he/she does not belong to IT. Say, stress is a part of your 'package'.

    We don't want to play the blame game here. How many of us here think they are 'way too stressed' ?
