Qualcomm is still the record holder with 2 engineers who jumped from Q buildings in 2010 and 2012.
Both companies are sweatshops. it is sad but not surprising.
It looks like Carl Icahn agrees with me. He dumped his entire AAPL position. Buh bye, QCOM! --> https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/29/billionaire-investor-carl-icahn-sells-entire-stake-in-apple
There were several suicides around the time of the layoffs last year too. They weren't on QC property but were no doubt a result of the horrible working conditions and politics at Qualcomm.
The bell just rang on AAPL with this 'suicide' (RIP). I'm calling a top on this bloated, mismanaged, overpriced, pig of a company which is, when all is said and done, a consumer electronics company. I don't care about stock buybacks (funded by debt), PEs, or cash flow/offshore-cash-in-the-bank. Won't go short, though ... too much global central bank money printing and buying of stocks (even the Swiss central bank owns billions of AAPL stock ... as if paper is an 'asset class').
Q record of 2 suicides will never be beaten.
Nothing wrong here with Apple or QC.
The abusive environment in these companies gradually erodes their employee's mental health in a way that they don't even realize they have become ill.
If you don't like working for a company, just resign.
