I began this post a year ago, and lot's of life has happened in between. But first, take a look at this article.
Read the article here.
Fast forward a year, and I just got back from spending all of March 2013 in China. What an experience, and more to come on that later. But as I was driving around the Shenzhen area for different meetings, we did pass the infamous Apple factory - Foxconn.
Per the article, work conditions have been so bad here, that people were committing suicide at an alarming rate by jumping out the window. The premise of the buildings are now surrounded by nets (to catch people) and bar-type things, to prevent people jumping out.
There are approximately 400,000 people working here. Below is a picture of the change of night and day shifts - the line of people going to and from was ridiculous. This placed was huge, and a machine.
