The majority of men showed changes in behavior before the suicide, especially social withdrawal,
Men’s Behavior and Communication in the Days Prior to a Suicide—A Psychological Autopsy Study
Men show a significantly higher suicide rate, are less often recognized as persons at risk, and are more difficult to reach for suicide prevention interventions. Warning signs and deterioration in mental health are often not recognized by their surroundings. ...

SatyrSackI honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or not
RealFknNitoThe best meme is the one that can unironically help someone when the joke ends.
Suicide is not a joke, Jim!
CoffeeJunkieHey guys FTR, I am fine, I just wanted to check it out of pure curiosity & I was denied. The irony is making me lmao.
Thank you. I had no idea. I will make an update that has the same content but in Markup format and I’ll stop linking to that article in the future.
snooggumsLivin the dream.
Just minus the “livin” part. But hey, can’t have everything.
That happened to a friend of mine. He deleted everything when he had a mental health episode. Took time off. They found his remains months later.
So yeah, could be.
Jo MiranTake two weeks vacation. Get paid.
Miss two weeks of work. Get paid.
Get fired. Get two weeks severance and unemployment.
Homie quit and got six weeks pay plus unemployment benefits.
Prob aren’t getting severance nor unemployment if you get fired for 2 weeks of no-call-no-show.
Severance, you’re right. Unemployment is likely still on the table depending on the state.
“Likely” is a huge stretch. “Possible” I could buy in some states.
It isn’t a stretch. I can’t speak to other states but in Texas, it is almost guaranteed. I had added an edit to my previous comment. The fact that it was approved before we submitted our objection tells you enough.
IbaudiaI used to work in HR. Can confirm that some managers will just pay out bullshit claims because it would be expensive to litigate.
I know someone working in HR. Can confirm that other managers will litigate just to be petty because it’s not their own money they’re spending.
Why would he get paid for not showing up for 2 weeks, at least when I went on parental leave I had to talk to HR every week I didn’t work and ask them to use my sick time, even then they’d forget and I’d have to remind them before the week was off otherwise I wouldn’t get a check
Salaried employees get paid by default. Someone has to notify accounting to not pay the person, not the other way around. This has been the process for every company I have ever worked for, or owned. I am not saying that what you are saying isn’t true, I am saying that it is fucked up.

BoxscapeLivin the dream.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Or maybe he died.
I quit my startup like that.
We were making it: we were eking by and just starting to turn the corner when one of the partners did some legal wrangling to grab power. FineYouDoIt.jpg because I’d had enough already and prepped my next job.
Hopped a plane. Hopped another. Hopped another. Three people on the planet knew where I was: Mom, GF, and guy who bashes bags at the local airport who saw my name on the flight manifest and checked my connection. Went to the waiting apartment to start the next day. Never looked back, didn’t answer email except when Cop friend emailed and asked whether I was missing. Nope, so case closed.
But why
WIZARD POPE💫He said he just had enough
A resignation would’ve worked just fine. I guess maybe paired with a restraining order if all of this was even remotely necessary.
Yeah, feels a bit too dramatic for no apparent reason
I don’t know. Sometimes I wonder how far I could get on the money in the bank and the gas in my car. Just keep driving.
In that case flight hopping isn’t the efficient way to do it
In my case…. A couple of blocks…. Tops!…
Drama every once in a while can be good, especially if you’re not there to suffer from the fallout.
I’ve been in a few situations before where it’s been incredibly tempting to just not show up because:
- Your management doesn’t value your input
- Nepotism is prevalent when promotions come around
- You’re not doing the type of work that was advertised in the job post and discussed your first two weeks
- You’re doing excellent work solving difficult and/or outstanding problems but someone else gets the credit
Sure, you could put in a notice of resignation, but if you know that your manager is going to harass you for reasons why, possibly belittle you, and try to guilt-trip you into giving more time to the company to “finish out” tasks on your queue that they’ve not bothered to train anyone else on that you’ve requested over the last two years, then wanting to cut ties as quickly as possible given the toxic environment is a fairly normal desire.
Not saying it’s the right thing to do, and all the flight-hopping that OP claims does seem a tad strange, but sometimes people end up in a fairly unsupportive or toxic environment where you just have to take actions in putting as much distance and as many barriers in place as possible to mentally feel like you’ve regained some level of control.
Absolutely. I was supporting, “But why?” as a valid question because there’s more going on here than just being sick of a job. Yeah some places can be super toxic, but this sounds more like what you’d do if they wanted to ask questions about missing money or you punched a coworker or fleeing an abusive spouse. Not that I’m accusing OP of any of that, just agreeing that this is so extreme there’s something unsaid here.

Wait, so you just bailed on your girlfriend?
I’m curious about that too
No he’s just gone to the store for cigarettes.
ShaggySnacksSo that’s what happen to my Dad.
Hey Corsican guy, say hi to this guy’s dad
Interesting that this is “Livin the dream”. It happened at my friend’s workplace and the leading theory is that he did some diddling and is escaping the repercussions. Guess it’s a fine line…
Cheated on his wife. Kid diddler. Embezzlement.
They’re never as juicy as people like to think it is. It’s usually something lame like depression or raising diddlers.
Depression and raising toddlers can both be the result of ill-advised diddling
“raising diddlers”?
Great show but you really need to watch the censored version.
That made me LOL
SkullgridI did something close to this, not as far as corsican though.
I booked a holiday for feb, and I gave my notice that my leaving would kick in just before.
I burned myself out at a startup about 20 years ago. Walked into my bosses office & told him I quit. Was on the other side of the planet a few days later. I did eventually return home though.
Last job, they fired the boss I liked but let him hang out on the payroll for 3 months. Since he was also cool with me, I put in 3 weeks vacation and he approved it immediately. (Apparently I’m not the only one who did this.)
Came back, told my new boss this is my last week, basically did nothing the entire week.

Who hasn’t watched “Searching for Italy” and thought, “Yeah, Italy’s fucking awesome! I could totally make it there!”?
eh, you can make it, but life’s not that comfortable here
Can you define that? For me, all I really care about is A/C and an internet connection
I once lived in Tokyo for three years, had both, after half a year I couldn’t wait to go home.
Are you a natural Hermit? I think I would love to live somewhere where I have minimal communication with everyone around me. I would also love to visit family and friends back home maybe once a year at most. I already kind of do that but at least I would have an excuse.
