Maybe the jumpers were late to work or exhausted their vacation days and felt the need to punish themselves.

These Chinese suicides are troubling news. The news says that they leap to death and slash wrists. Supposedly the worker goes to work because he is willing to work (he was not forced to start working). Of course, once a person signs a contract - he can't back out (even if he has to do something that becomes very upleasant). The advice is don't sign a contract that you might regret. Of course, a person has to work for money or beg for money to buy the food to eat to survive.

Japanese Samurai would rather kill themselves than be captured by an enemy for interrogation and torture.
