After I installed Windows Vista I wanted to commit suicide.

One hundred Chinese workers? Isn’t there anyone to take their place? I thought Chinese had a few extra people somewhere to fill in this gap. What they need is Jimmy Hoffa /sarc. After they unionize, it will be cheaper to manufacture here again.

Maybe our unions can emulate them.

CBS.

Foxconn isn’t a MSFT outfit. It’s a contract manufacturer.

These guys may work on the Xbox line, but Foxconn pays the employees, not MSFT.

Hey, we got sell ads here, so let’s whack MSFT here and imply that MSFT is driving its Chinese employees to suicide and is treating them unfairly.

The Press wonders why we are leaving in droves.

Assholes.

Wired magazine was granted access to the factories, which installed nets that would catch anyone attempting to jump. That is when you know your job is depressing. Nets around the building.

Workers strike and make demands at enterprises where foreigners are responsible for the additional costs (but still 49 - 51 minority owners, I believe) usually do pretty well.. but when it's a state owned enterprise?

With over a billion people I would think the Chinese government would pay them to commit suicide since they are in to killing people.

When I was working (retired 10 years ago) we would occasionally have employees threaten to quit if this or that didn’t happen.

I would simply focus on those employees and within 3 to 6 months they were generally fired for cause.

I envy the Chinese in this regard. Had those idiots jumped, they would have saved me a ton of paperwork and time that I could have spent on something else. ;>)
