It’s a bit sad when we devour in the latest and greatest of technology in one part of the world and in the other part, people manufacturing the same devices threaten to mass suicide. Foxconn is back in the news after several hundred workers producing Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console threaten to mass suicide.
The details for threatening suicide are unknown but is said that Microsoft is looking into the matter.
“Microsoft takes working conditions in the factories that manufacture its products very seriously, and we are currently investigating this issue.”
This is not the first time Foxconn has attracted attention for the wrong reasons. The company came into limelight when one of its employees committed suicide after losing an iPhone 4 prototype.
