ATTENTION EMPLOYEES: Employees who have been dying at work have been failing to fall down. This practice must cease as it becomes impossible to distinguish between death and the natural movement of the staff.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Employees who fail to fall down upon death will be suspended without pay.


So what is Apple management's response?

There are worse jobs on the planet. These workers should stop being such drama queens with their suicides. At least they aren't slaving away in the NFL.

"We still have cheap labor"

'They work excessive overtime for a salary they can hardly live on and are inhumanely treated.

I wonder what the punishment is for a broken "pledge". :beat:

But Exxon made record profits last quarter and Apple made over 22% EBIT. :D


I've been to their factories and have been to where the people who work in the factories come from. HUGE difference.

The factories do suck. And Foxconn takes advantage of the situation where ever they can.

Yet people are lining up at the gates to get a job and send almost all their money home to support their families in life styles they never could have imagined 10 years ago.

Wonder what the Apple Fanboys excuses will be.

How about a whole big bunch of don't care?

Since about 1865 people have been able to decide if they want a job or not. there is nobody holding a gun to their head saying work here like a dog or kill yourself.

I don't worry about other people's jobs. I have enough problems with mine and the people who work for me.

Admit it, you have a saved search for my name and "Apple" don't ya? :D :cheers:

Nah, they just seem to find each other.

What's your take on Thunderbolt?
