I wonder if you are covered by workers compensation if you attempt to commit suicide at work?

Probably depends on how you did it. If you could do it because of insufficient safety features on a machine you might well have a good case.

Seriously, I've never liked a job enough for suicide to cross my mind in case of failure.

When they stopped selling Vanilla Coke here? That's another story.

Couldn't you make your own? Put a few drops of vanilla extract into a Coke?

It's hard to judge.
For many people their mental state is a medical condition.

That's for sure.

Workplace suicide, not cool. Workplace = crazy exciting (especially if you're a teacher).

Hell yeah!

But what really sucks as a teacher is if one of your students suicides. Trust me, that's a real downer

It wasn't your fault.

Agh, it's never going to be exactly the same...

Workplace sex = crazy exciting (especially if you're a teacher).

Yeesh. I don't know about suicide, but I may have gored my own eyes out at school if I'd encountered that.

do it like Foxconn in China did.
the workers had to sign a new contract that forbids suicide.
i dont know what the fines are if you break that contract...

No fine - you're buried upside down in the company outhouse.
