The work was suicide


Twenty-five people working at the French Telecom have committed suicide within a year and a half, the company is good, it's a pride, the French semi-privatization in 2004 was a success, yet twenty-five people, mostly belonging to the upper classes (managers and engineers 48-50 years), committed suicide.
There is no sufficient reason to justify a suicide if a situation of suffering justify suicide in the camps no one would come alive to the gas chamber. It can not do with a problem a specific company to justify a suicide, but a business problem may be the detonator of a wider malaise. In addition to Telecom
suicide, it should be mentioned those in the center of Renault in Guyancourt 2006-2009 (4 suicides, the last in October), Peugeot-Citroën factory in Mulhouse (6 suicides in 2007) in the group Electricité de France (3 suicides in 6 months in 2007).

This argument seems to be repudiated by the terrible and lucid letter D Michel, the picture executive who took his own life on July 14 last, "they will kill me because of my work in France Telecom. It's the only reason. Urgency permanent work overload, lack of training, disorganization Total holding: because he has completely disrupted and disturbed. I became a wreck, better get it over. " PS: "I know that many people will say that there are other causes (I'm alone, unmarried, without children). Some insinuated that I did not accept getting old. But no, I arranged with all this quite well. The only question is the work. "

What is the job? Sure, it's a way of keeping it is a necessity for some it is a duty to others ennobles man. For many, represents the dark side of life, as opposed to the happy family and leisure.
The work is much more of a necessity. If not, Marx would never have spoken of alienation due to the loss of ownership of the means of production by the people at work.
The loss of ownership of the means of production does not lose money to people, especially the way to lose his job. This is the cause of alienation.
The workers of Ford at the time of the Industrial Revolution, earned more than a craftsman of the time ($ 5 per day, to be exact), but it is reasonable to assume that, while earning more, most were not happy: their work had in fact less so.

Who cares about the fate of people at work should focus on this issue, trying to give concrete answers to the following questions:

• such as "corporate governance" promote participation by the "working"?
• leadership models which support the growth of individuals?
• such organizational models that promote operability do not lose the perception of the value of their work?

Shifting the focus from work as a source of solutions to basic needs, towards the idea of \u200b\u200bwork as a source of self-realization.
This is in my opinion the answer key.
