I don’t usually post here, but I fell obligated to do so after I learned this.
Yesterday was “Lawyer’s day” here in Brazil, this date celebrates the day the first law course was founded here. So as per usual, lawyers, judges, public defenders, etc. In this date we usually celebrate, since it’s a holiday.
However, yesterday a shocking news happened. An intern of a big law firm tried to swerslide. He missed a deadline and, because of that, received a big scold.
Due to the amount of stress in the workplace of a big law, the intern – per reports of a now deleted tweet – was suffering from a anxiety/ depression, and this was his last straw.
After this scolding he tried to KHS, news broke out and everyone is criticizing the firm and demanding the Brazilian bar to say something.
To end this post, a few days ago I saw a comment on this sub saying when an intern makes an error his superior is supposed to take accountability, not scold him on an error to the point he tries to end his life.
TL;DR: Intern tries to kills himself after missing a deadline and receiving a major scolding from his superior
