Sometimes work stress increases so much that it even leads to death. One such case is in the headlines right now. 26-year-old chartered accountant Anna Sebastian Perayil died in pune due to alleged work pressure. After the death of the girl, serious allegations are being made against Ernst & Young india (E&Y) company.
Anna Sebastian was admitted to a hospital after complaining of fatigue and died on July 20. This matter came into the limelight when Anna's mother Anita Augustine wrote a letter to EY india head Rajiv Memani. Her letter went viral on social media.
