One man's story gets told (televised even) so that others won't have to go through what he did (implicating what EPO staff memorably calls 'Gestapo' [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
Summary: A television program which demonstrates the correlation between aggressive EPO management and staff suicides preserved as a cautionary tale
There are two main themes/ways in which EPO management tries to justify its abuses and iron-fisted governance approach (suicides unsurprisingly grew tenfold); one is to say about the employees that they're "well paid" (or something along those lines, as it monetary compensation exempts them from human rights) and the other is all about "results" (which is a basically a lie). ⬆
Yes, the same EPO that routinely uses "data protection" and "GDPR" as a pretext for hiding or covering up its corruption and white-collar crimes (it even uses that as an excuse for refusing to obey courts' orders)
