After the email gained attention, more employees began sharing their experiences. One such letter, allegedly written by Anna’s colleague, has now surfaced on social media.
The letter recounts how Anna’s death was communicated through a centralized email, which included a standard message alongside her LinkedIn profile picture. It was also mentioned informally that Anna had pre-existing health issues that worsened. The letter describes the toxic work environment, particularly highlighting Anna’s manager, who was accused of prioritizing his own convenience while disregarding the team’s efforts. It also criticizes her assistant manager as “atrocious.”
The author of the letter further describes the oppressive atmosphere at the company, where senior staff often make life difficult for those who don’t comply. Attempts to report these issues to HR were futile, as they too were part of the problem
. Humiliation during team calls was described as a common experience. The letter explains that female employees might receive some leniency, but male colleagues face particularly brutal treatment. Employees, the author states, are left with no social life or personal time, forced to work up to 16 hours a day during busy periods and 12 hours during quieter times, with no relief on weekends or holidays. Overwork, it seems, is the only path to promotion.
The letter also recounts a shocking incident where a colleague was forced to work from a hospital bed while suffering from dengue.
Have a look at that letter:
