Foxconn employees,"makers of xbox" threaten mass suicide over work conditions and pay

[Nunzio]

Please, the way that company cuts corners, they're lucky they get paid at all(their shotty soldering lol, if I recall the issue with the 360 was they used lead, a super soft metal, to solder parts that would be exposed to massive heat, thus degrading the soldering, lol what morons).

That's not the people on the floor though, that's the people upstairs trying to fuck their clients out of a couple cents per unit.

I feel for the workers, but they are the real communists. Trying to unionize and bully their way into getting what they want. In ten years it'll be the same shit as in North America. Ambulance drivers getting $30 an hour going on strike to get $32 while people die. Companies should improve working conditions and increase morale because it saves money in the long run. Forget human rights, every one of those workers is an investment and it comes down to dollars and cents. When an investment goes bad, you wash your hands of it and start your next venture. Everyone who went up on that roof should be terminated. It's not like it's difficult to replace people, that's the only commodity they have.

Every once in a while I'll come across some tool on the net who wants to defend communism. It makes me want to reach through my screen and slap them.

Yea, It's insane that people making way too much as is in the US(talking about people that are more or less rich mind you, your example fits the bill as well), go on strike(causing all kinds of trouble for everyone but the company they are fighting against). Yea, them threatening suicide proves they aren't fit to live in society, let alone work to beginwith, so I find it shocking this is how they chose to fight back.

If you are gonna go to an extreme like suicide anyway lol, why not kidnap the CEO/his family member instead, atleast that would make some kind of sense(it would scare the crap out of the CEO, and they'll think twice about the way they run things from then on).

It may sound crass, but one thing China has is people. There's no shortage. The government actually encourages people to smoke for a variety of reasons, but mainly so they don't live as long. Let's face it, a car accident in China will kill more people than were threatening to commit suicide. Losing 10,000 to 100,000 in a earthquake is pretty much par for the course there. A couple hundred killing themselves over work conditions is barely going to make the news there. I'll bet they all got shipped off to "reeducation" camps after they came down off the roof.

Remember when "Made in China" was used to describe rare and exotic stuffs?

It used to be on every toy in America, until they found out about the lead used in the paint.

Um, I may be wrong here but I'm pretty sure all solder used to have lead in it. In fact I think it was the push for lead free solder that caused the early 360 issues.

[MN12BIRD]

LOL oh yeah old school Solder with lead in it was the good stuff! It's the lead free solder these days that can cause more issues from cold solder joints or so I've heard. I know a few electronic techs who have complained about this. The environmentals are forcing lead free solder on everything. Pretty much all the new motherboards I see advertise some green lead free thing on the box.

I guess that's one more quote for the Legend of Zoltor thread.

Am I the only person whom finds it funny that a people well known for working for peanuts, are demanding more money?

I don't normally go out of my way to call a user out, but after paying attention to your posts for the last few days, I have to say that you're one of the dumbest people I've seen on the internet.

Those dumb companies are willing to make stuff for pennies on the dollar, the workers have some nerve to think they should get good pay, when they are working for a companjy, that was the lowest bidder.

[TheSonicRetard]

I'm not going to attempt to argue with you, because you seem to think you're smarter than you are. Just realize, and I'm sure everyone else who reads your post thinks the same, that you blurt out the most sheltered, ignorant world-views I've seen in a long time. You don't seem dumb in a "ha ha this guy has bad opinions" sort of way. You seem dumb in a "this motherfucker literally doesn't understand the basics of how the world works" sort of way. Each post of yours bleeds sheltered, insecure website warrior.

If you're doing it to troll, great job dude, you totally accomplished your goal of mascaraing under such an ugly, ignorant facade that no one would ever take you seriously. You totally got us, we actually bought that you are an idiot not worth talking to. Enjoy the lulz you get from being called a dumbass. What a great victory.

Oh this is nothing, he was actually banned for his stupidity before. You should have been here when he was going on about the Dreamcasts awful cache and how it broke the system.

I'm well aware that he has a legacy on this site. Here's the thing - at what point does a gimmick become something more? What's the point of feigning idiocy 24/7? At what point does it stop becoming a mask, and start becoming your daily routine? Pretending to be stupid all the time, without halt isn't an excuse, at that point you're not pretending anymore.

I know there are other trolls on this site like Kogen, but I've known that guy off this site for years, and he'll give good input on subjects he feels interested enough to actually break character, and his gimmick can be funny.

This dude isn't irritating, isn't funny, isn't aggravating, it's just pathetic. And even more so if it's not a gimmick. At which point, the best advice I can give him is to post less, because he's not doing himself any favors.

Cool post from Jackal(whatever, it shocks me, he would think such a post would make me look bad), but I fail to see how that shows me in a bad light, the new sonic is a joke, the new sf design looks bad(and is indeed universally hated), Arcade sticks promote cheapness, while standard controls are good for precision, thus promoting skillful play(lol have you ever seen the char people pick when playing in the arcade, talk about cheap), exc.

There's a reason all the jobs are going to china, and it sure as hell Isn't for the quality.

BUT THE CACHE! THE CACHE!!!!!!!!!!!
