How he has had to qualify that is a hint at the size of the stigma associated with the suffering of mental pain and anguish. Good for him for shouting it up.

Well my meeting with HR could’ve gone better. Verbatim got told if I don’t come back to work when my note expires that I’ll just get SSP and they’ll withdraw my sick pay.

I think burnout is a big thing, additionally is people are getting fed up of being treated as commodities which companies can just dump as soon as they’re used up as you say.
