Death of Ernst & Young employee Anna sparks calls for reforms in IT work culture

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The death of EY employee Anna Sebastian Perayil due to exhaustion has struck a chord with IT professionals, many of whom have reported heightened work pressure since the onset of Covid.

They felt a deep connection to the tragedy as Prathidhwani, a socio-cultural organisation of IT employees in Technopark, mourned the loss of a 30-year-old IT professional from Kozhikode, who died of cardiac arrest while searching for a job that would offer a better work-life balance.
