Death of 26-year-old EY employee sparks social media debate on toxic work culture; company responds by saying....
Pune has sparked a debate on social media about toxic work culture.
Anna Sebastian Perayil passed away on July 20, four months after joining EY as a chartered accountant. The debate began after a letter from Perayil's mother, Anita Augustine, went viral in which she addressed EY India chairman Rajiv Memani and blamed «the workload, new environment, and long hours» for her daughter's tragic demise.
In a heart-wrenching letter to the global accounting giant, Anita blamed “four months of EY’s callous attitude” for her daughter's death. Anna Sebastian Perayil had joined the company in March.
It was Anna's first job and her mother wrote that her daughter was “thrilled” to join the company. Describing her daugther as a “fighter,” Augustine noted that Anna excelled in all her school and college examinations and worked “tirelessly” at EY, “giving her all to meet the demands placed on her.”
«Heartbreaking! This is how the 70 hour work week mantras manifest into horrible workspaces. Getting a certain job is dream to many because that’s often our way out of the socioeconomic class we belong to. Hope we all get the courage someday to live life on our own terms. Prayers,» wrote X user and Standup Comedian Shridhar V.
