Got a raise to 900 yuan a month, damn!

According to Google

900 Chinese yuan = 131.8041 US dollars

[Jorsher]

Initially they were going to give all the employees 20%, and then upped it to a 30% pay increase.

Terry Tai-Ming Guo has been quoted as saying his company does not engage in unfair labor practices

I would pay 5 yen to hear him say that with a straight face. Another 5 if he pronounces it correctly.

[Jorsher]

Possibly fair as defined by their law.

Unfair to American's that are used to somewhat-livable minimum wages and government mandates.

If it isn't already obvious, now is the time to buy your new electronics because prices are about to go up.

FYI, Foxconn was originally reported as employing 800K chinamen.  That last link purports they employ 400K chinamen.

Someone, somewhere, is bullshitting.

[Jorsher]

I didn't read the article because I'm lazy, so maybe I'm missing something important, but when I read mention of them moving factories I assumed it was to keep from paying the Chinese more money.

I can't see another reason to move the factories other than to save moneys.

Cliffs for Jorsher (everyone else can get fucked):

- Chinamen kill themselves because life in china fucking sucks.
- Liberal news media blames Foxconn who makes iPhones and shit for crApple, because nobody's ever died aywhere else in china, ever.
- Foxconn says they'll increase pay the 800K chinamen they employ by 20% within the month, then they say 30%, then they say 70% to make everyone happy.
- Foxconn plans to buy more robotic assembly lines in Tiawan, and employ less people more cheaply in Thailand, leaving the 400K chinamen they employ jobless.
- Chinamen continue to kill themselves because life in china sucks, liberal news media ignores it because it's last week's news and not sexy.  It wasn't sexy in the first place which is why most of you can't be bothered to read these cliffs.


Bottom line: Obama thinks uneducated manual laborers in other countries deserve more money for doing jobs monkeys can do, so now prices on laptops and smart phones and everything in Walmart will go up in price.  Hurry up and buy this shit while it's still cheap.

[Jorsher]

Ah, so I did miss important facts by not reading the article.

So, still going to save money, but with robots.

Looks like media fucked the Chinese on this one.

Place bets on the suicide rate rising when a few hundred thousand Chinese now have no income?
