The company I work for started a suicide prevention initiative a few years ago. The stated goal was to have 0 suicides in a year and they sent out a bunch of performative bullshit about how we need to listen to each other vent about our problems. As if we aren’t already bitching about work to each other all the time already. I was like… How about you guys maybe think about why so many of your employees want to off themselves so bad? They have yet to meet their goal.

“Why are you killing yourselves when we had a mandatory pizza party last Friday?”
Sounds lower than the bare minimum.
What? I’ve worked at lots of places where people don’t kill themselves. I think in my entire history of employment it’s only happened once.
Yeah, people being happy should be the bare minimum is what I meant. That 0 suicides is even a goal is mad.
Ah, that makes way more sense.
