I would assume the whole "Working yourself to death" culture America has propagated for generations.
It's a figure of speech, mods, chillax.

The only other articles talking about a "workplace suicide rise" are from 2015. Also one from 2016, but that's Newsweek using tragedies to rail against "globalization".

Also, searching "workplace suicides" on Twitter gets you a lot of MRA types talking about how men are the majority of suicides and workplace deaths.
