A 26-year-old woman died just four months after accepting a position at EY Pune, a Big Four accounting firm. Her mother blamed her company's overwhelming workload.
Anna Sebastian Perayil from Kerala, India, wrote in a LinkedIn post just months ago, "I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position as Audit and Assurance Executive at EY!" It was her first job since passing her Chartered Accountant exam last year, so Perayil "worked tirelessly to meet the expectations," according to an email from her mother, Anita Augustine, to EY's chairman of the India region, Rajiv Memani, and obtained by Republic World.
