Paypal

On April 6, 2012, Qinggen Wang, a principal software engineer at Paypal, committed suicide. He was 40 years old. Born in a poor family in China, Wang became the hero of his hometown, Haian County of Jiangsu Province, after winning the gold medal of the International Chemistry Olympiad in 1990. After finishing his undergraduate study in China, Wang was accepted by Stanford University and graduated with a Ph. D’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in computer technology. Wang started his career as a software engineer at deCarta. He joined PayPal in 2004 and rose to the position of principal software engineer three years later. Wang was believed to have been suffering from depression for a long time, which eventually caused his suicide. Could the working conditions under eBay Inc's CEO John Donahoe be a contributing factor in both of these alleged suicides? ------------------ 戚成纯
