Headline from the Land of D’Oh: Foxconn Employees Asked to Sign ‘No Suicide’ Pledge

This cracks me up. It’s a shame that there are “appalling” working conditions at the Foxconn factory that include excessive overtime and public humiliation, but this isn’t the answer. After all, how do you enforce a no suicide pledge (TUAW.com)? What can you do to someone who’s already dead?

Sounds like management has to smarten up and start acting like it’s the 21st century where we treat employees fairly.
