CEO commits suicide

[Ramius75]

He's already dead.

@aelf - well, i was obviously showing the bias in the media when it comes to reporting news from the other side of the world. take it that im the man that always present issues based on the orient point of view.

Wouldn't this mean that what I said was sort of in the right direction? Where's the bias in that report? I don't see how this can be an East vs. West issue at all.

I despise the practice of committing suicide as a mark of shame. Nonetheless, this is tragic but it serves to underscore an aspect of these cultures that I'm not particularly happy with

Huh?

The guy must have been under a lot of pressure and not know how to have solved it.

It's more of a product of the shame culture prevalent in Asian society. We don't really understand it here in the West. You see this sort of thing happen quite often in China and Japan whenever a person in a position of authority is found guilty of a crime. The sad part is in this case the CEO was not guilty of anything. Rather he was let down by a number of people and the blame came back to him.

how the hell did you schmucks get "sympathy for chinese CEOs" from this?

well, im speaking of old experience that in the past, CEO of failed companies do at the least have the dignity to kick themselves. But in the recent years. most CEOs are shamelessly misleading investors and dont even have the guts to finish themselves off.

In fact, they dump their own stock, and go on to become President of the US.
