Orange France investigates second wave of suicides among staff The French telecoms company Orange is on serious alert after reports of a fresh spate of work-related suicides. Since the beginning of the year, 10 of its employees have killed themselves – most for reasons explicitly related to their jobs, according to the companys own stress and mental health watchdog. Orange was formerly the state-owned France Telecom, which reported a similar wave of deaths between 2008 and 2009. The number of suicides so far this year is almost as high as for the whole of last year, when 11 workers took their own lives. Of the 10 deaths this year – three women and seven men, the youngest aged 25 – eight have been directly linked to work, according to the observatory for stress and forced mobility, which is responsible for monitoring work conditions at the company.
