So companies should just let their coworkers do whatever they want, because god forbid they get their feelsies hurt and kill themselves? Dude needs to buckle up and stop being a pussy.

I agree. This is the worker's mental issue - not an issue with the company.

So shouldn't you agree that it is the employers responsibility to take care of their own employee's mental health for the sake of the company?
I heard recently that workplaces are allowing their employees to take a 30 minute sleep break to "recharge" so they are not sleeping at their desks thus too boost productivity.
Isn't this sort of the same thing here? To help out their employee's to keep the work environment a healthy one for everyone that works there?

People can go off the mental "deep end" for a billion reasons. A company cannot control everything.

I could find it cold in my cubicle and go insane shooting everyone in my building because the gunpowder explosions heat up the area. Is the company responsible for that?

But in this instance they were in control of the situation.
They caused this guy to go off the deep end. That was in their hands to allow him to transfer to another part of the company or another building but they decided not to allow his request but instead put him in a situation of possibly firing him with this review of his performance. Which I find as a cop out on a company that big to do to an employee.
Companies are responsible for giving them a way to cope with their stress levels in a way of massages or sick leave or whatever, but they decided not too in this case but to corner him like a wounded animal and made it look like they were ready to put him out of his misery and shoot old yeller in a way.
