内容警告：本文讨论自杀。————————————————————————————————————————————————2026年8月14日星期五早上，我收到了一个我不认识的号码发来的短信：“警报！亲爱的亚马逊同事们，GREF今天暂时关闭了大楼。欢迎大家在BOS17远程工作，直到另行通知。”我觉得这条短信有些奇怪，但确认了其真实性后，继续在家工作。我的团队进行了每日站会，一切看起来都很正常，直到下午3点，我收到了人力资源部发来的标准邮件：“今天早上，我们在BOS21关闭了办公区，因为我们失去了其中一位亚马逊同事……”[1]这封邮件没有提到的是，这位同事是自杀身亡的。得知这一消息时，我感到一阵恍惚……我已经在职场工作了十多年，这是我第一次遇到这样的职场悲剧。我不知道该期待什么。那天下午，BOS21的Slack频道里出现了许多积极的信息，同事们提供倾诉的机会，并分享紧急资源的链接。这让我感到宽慰。我没有想到的是，随之而来的却是沉默。具体来说，是来自领导层的沉默。我并不是在谈论一线经理或中层经理，而是指那些在同一栋大楼工作的董事、VP、SVP——许多人都在那栋大楼里。我希望像这样的悲剧是如此罕见[2]，以至于当它发生时，能够得到在那栋大楼工作的领导们的个人信息或声明。一种认可。我认为，作为“地球上最好的雇主”，人性化的认可是最低限度的要求。我需要纠正我之前的说法，因为我们得到的远比沉默更为反乌托邦。就在那天星期五，我们的VP发了一封全公司范围的邮件，炫耀利用人工智能提高效率，迁移到Rust。让我再重复一遍：在一位同事自杀后5小时，我们的VP在庆祝Rust迁移。在这种情况下，如果让我选择，我宁愿接受人工智能生成的慰问。[1] https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ognyisn3a48a5yevnjjvo/update.jpg?rlkey=hdd62sow7vjo2k7uu1zsxdltq&st=5kaew5r8&e=3[2] https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nrwrrf6bp61vblvygt9ob/img2.jpg?rlkey=f5topyqov589ube7xs1p6xo6d&st=swiffscs

Content Warning: This post discusses suicide.————————————————————————————————————————————————Friday morning, August 14, 2026, I received this text from a number I didn’t recognize:“ALERT! Dear Amazonians, GREF has temporarily closed the building for today. You are welcome to work from BOS17 until further notice."I thought the text was odd but I confirmed it was legitimate and continued my day working remotely. My team had our daily standup and everything seemed quite normal, until 3:00 PM when I received this canned email from HR:“This morning we closed BOS21 following the tragic loss of one of our Amazon colleagues….” [1]What that email didn’t mention was that this colleague died by suicide. Learning that was surreal… I’ve been working professionally for over a decade and this is the first time I’ve encountered a workplace tragedy like this. I didn’t know what to expect. Later that afternoon there were many positive messages in BOS21’s Slack channel, colleagues offering an open ear and providing links to emergency resources. That was reassuring.What I didn’t expect was what immediately followed: silence. Specifically, silence from leadership. I’m not talking about line managers or middle managers, I’m talking about directors, VPs, SVPs - many of which work in that same building. I would hope that a tragedy like this is so exceedingly rare[2] that when it does occur, it warrants a personal message or statement from the human leaders that work in that building. An acknowledgement. I would think a human acknowledgement is the bare minimum for “Earth’s best employer.”I need to correct myself above because what we got was far more dystopian than silence. That same Friday our VP sent an org-wide email boasting about efficiency gains using AI to migrate to Rust. Let me repeat that: 5 hours after a colleague took their own life our VP is celebrating Rust migrations.At this point, if given the choice of that, I would gladly accept AI generated condolences.[1] https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ognyisn3a48a5yevnjjvo/update.jpg?rlkey=hdd62sow7vjo2k7uu1zsxdltq&st=5kaew5r8&e=3[2] https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nrwrrf6bp61vblvygt9ob/img2.jpg?rlkey=f5topyqov589ube7xs1p6xo6d&st=swiffscs
