Devslopes made an ad joking about suicide and then teased someone in comments

I'm here to raise awareness about something disgusting that I just found.

The company Devslopes (https://www.devslopes.com/) made an ad/video which I just saw on Facebook Reels. In the video it portrayed a janitor that wanted to end his life by jumping from the top of a roof. Someone ran up behind him and said "...you can still learn how to code...".

I was absolutely disgusted and then checked the comments. A top comment was someone explaining how they were a janitor and had similar thoughts and then Devslopes commented something that seemed a lot like teasing them. I've uploaded the screenshot I got to imgur.

Let's not forget nor forgive Devslopes for this disgusting behavior...
