how are you all kissing that this is 90 hours bonus and 55hrs availability is within a Week! I’ve worked close to 72 hrs for 1 week about 10yrs ago and I can vehemently tel you it’s NOT healthy!

this pretty much is insane! The bonus will almost 7/10x be paying for healthcare needs.

Mathis is going to backfire soon enough.
Lots of people work those hours in the USA……

It doesn’t mean they are actually working though. They may be in standby statuses and not being productive per se.
 
I'm glad that they're getting a pay raise,
they'll be able to afford more lollipops and ribbons,
and whatever else the little girls who make iPhones buy, haha.


With love,
and tongue firmly in cheek,
a over-19+ year Apply loyalist. <3

I mean actual work. Not like shift work or standby or what executives call 'working' lol.

I mean doing work, doing your job breaking ONLY for allowed breaks or lunches.

Honest question: Have any links to sources? Just curious how "above average" Foxconn is? To paraphrase a comment I heard a while ago: "It's not okay to punch someone in the arm just because someone else punched them in the crotch."
Foxconn is better than average. They've installed nets to catch people jumping off the roof.
