My brother, a GP doctor, said that he writes a lot of scripts for antidepressants every performance review season. Performance management sucks.

The racial tenor of this article seems bizarre and over the top, though?

There's only a racial tenor in the sense that work visa status gives companies like Facebook more leverage over immigrant employees than. Losing your job can mean you have 30 days to find a new position at an employer that's willing to sponsor your visa.

If the period lasts months, then sure. People go on meds for temporary events all the time, e.g. Seasonal Affective Disorder.
