We do not welcome the culture of suicide at Foxconn!!!
Thorough investigation why employees are jumping off buildings!!!
5月23日下午，河南網友趙萬里在深圳富士康龍華園區外舉牌抗議，自稱不滿富士康十連跳後給出的官方說法，希望找出真相，阻止“第十一跳”，引來眾多富士康員工圍觀。
5月27淩晨來自香港媒體方面的消息，5月26日晚11點富士康深圳龍華廠區大潤發商場前發生第12起員工跳樓事件，現場尚存血跡。死者是C2宿舍一位男性。RTHK引述新華社報導，稱昨晚11時32分接到富士康一葉姓員工電話，稱其10分鐘前在富士康龍華園區D2宿舍樓宿管辦門口見到一男子倒於地上，現場已被封鎖。富士康媒體辦向記者證實，富士康當晚確有一名員工墜樓身亡。 深圳富士康再有員工墮樓，是今年以來第12宗，造成10死2重傷。新華社報導，最新一宗在昨晚11時許發生，富士康證實這名員工墮樓身亡。
富士康大股東郭台銘昨日到深圳，瞭解連串員工墮樓事件。對於無法阻止悲劇發生，他多次鞠躬道歉，並願意收回要求員工簽署的自殺免責聲明，又指部分自殺個案涉及男女感情問題，他無辦法阻止事件發生。
有自殺員工家屬在廠房外哭訴，要求徹查事件。
深圳市委書記王榮亦到富士康廠房瞭解。
新華社英文版已經發了消息，第12跳得到了最終的確認。
■距第11跳還不到一天
25日淩晨，富士康科技集團觀瀾園區華南培訓中心一名員工墜樓死亡。這是今年以來該集團第11宗員工墜樓事件，共造成9死2重傷。新華社記者正趕往現場調查。
前幾天的富士康第十跳已經引起社會強烈反映了，就在第十跳還沒有調查清楚之時，富士康又迎來了第11跳。而鴻海總裁郭台銘剛於 24日回應，富士康絕對不是血汗工廠。
郭台銘24日出席“天府四川寶島行啟動儀式暨經貿合作論壇”，對於富士康“10連跳”，他表示，外界不瞭解真相，“現在很多事都不能說，我們都默默在做。”外界質疑他苛刻員工，實情是富士康絕非只要錢不要命的“血汗工廠”。郭台銘稱，富士康員工共80多萬，再加全球的鴻海集團多達90多萬人，員工的確很難管理。郭台銘表示，“但是我們有信心，很快就會把這些狀況全部穩住。”
而前日起，深圳富士康公司已經在部分一線車間播放員工喜愛的背景音樂，以舒緩員工的緊張情緒。同時，從深圳富士康員工處獲悉，該公司部分宿舍的樓頂也開始安裝和加高防護欄等。
■富士康要員工簽“生死狀”
鴻海集團旗下的深圳富士康昨日發生今年以來第11件員工跳樓事件，傳出富士康為了防範員工輕生，下達“防自殺動員令”，要求全體員工簽署同意書，內容提到絕不以極端方式傷害自己，並要求全員通報行為有異的同事，也會獎勵舉報者。
富士康要求員工簽署的不自殺協定
鴻海總裁郭台銘今天一早即搭機前往深圳坐鎮，並開放向來神秘的富士康廠區接受外界採訪；另外，深圳市政府決定今天展開專案行動和措施，嚴防富士康的“第 12跳”，例如由公安局培訓公司保安等。
富士康昨天“第11跳”的19歲李海，在富士康僅工作42天，警方已在他的宿舍找到遺書，內容表示心理壓力大、現實與期待有落差，還有家庭因素等等；而據《香港明報》報導，有線民表示，李海在死前4天即在手機上預告自殺，自稱“前幾天被保安打，日子沒發(法)過了，在(再)見了”。
一名自稱深圳富士康員工在網路上留言，透露在發生“第10跳”後，富士康在24日就發出一份給員工的通告，強調富士康“尊重及關懷員工”，提醒員工在工作和個人上發生苦惱，都可致電公司求助專線，或投訴、工會熱線、員工意見箱等管道表達意見，公司會派專人處理，並鼓勵舉報異常狀態的同事，舉報屬實將獲獎勵。
收到一個富士康員工的來信：媒體太無恥了
倍可親全球快訊李易先生，您好！
首先，講一下我的實際身份吧，2002年入職富士康，現在也還在職，祖籍四川，西藏出生，算起來在富士康也呆了近10年了吧，對富士康我還算是有一點點的發言權的。
前幾天，我在內部網站上看到您寫給郭總裁寫的公開信了，現在外面的各種網站上轉貼的也是鋪天蓋地了，在轉帖後面的謾駡和攻擊也是鋪天蓋地，李易被罵的狗血噴頭，太多留言都滑稽到可笑的地步，完全沒過大腦，更別談什麼理性的評論了。
忍不住給您寫了這封信，聊聊我的一些看法，這也許並不能代表所有富士康員工的看法，但是，它至少代表了相當大一部分員工的真實看法。
待遇問題
很多人覺得富士康就是900的底薪+加班費，剝削員工了。我也認為有點低了，但是富士康也有3K、5K、1萬甚至百萬以上的工作崗位啊，有多大胃口吃多少飯，不要指望老闆會把你創造的所有利潤都給你，在哪家公司都一樣，員工至少要能創造10倍於工資的價值老闆才會請你。
心態問題
給大家講個小故事吧，我曾經做過一段時間HR工作，常去人才市場招人，遇到一個很有趣的事情，公司找個網管，主要工作就是辦公室網路和辦公用機的維護，這個活含金量不高，大概月薪也就2.5K-3K左右吧。面試的時候來了一哥們，非一級院校畢業，應屆本科，聊了一下，我的評價是基本符合崗位需求，就問他期望薪資，這哥們想了一下說：“富士康，月薪8K吧。”，我接著問他“您這8K是根據什麼提的？”，他回答“我租房得**錢，每月給爸媽**錢，女朋友花**錢，我還計畫買個筆記本，每月要存**錢，加上電話啊、坐車、應酬啥的，所以一個月至少要8K。”我無語！接下來我對他產生興趣了，就尾隨他在人才市場轉悠，這哥們見公司就投簡歷，薪資要求還不一樣，2K，3K，5K的都有。
這說明啥呢，某些應屆生自身思想有問題，不去思考自己能做什麼，看人下菜，以為大公司薪酬就高，小公司薪酬就低。這是現在新新人類的普遍行為，總覺得公司給的少了，自己虧了，不能沉下心把事情做好。
台幹陸幹待遇差別問題
我承認，同一個崗位台幹（或者其他外籍）比大陸幹部工資高很多，以前我也覺得挺不公平的，後來想通了，你就看到外乾薪資比你高了，但是你沒看到他們也是離鄉背井，拋兒棄女的嗎？他們也不容易啊。這個情況相信郭總裁也認識到了，就拿我們部門來說吧，以前幾十個台幹，現在只剩下3個了，主要幹部都大陸化了，只要你有能力，老闆是捨不得讓你走的。
員工關愛問題
很多人在抨擊富士康工會，說工會沒幹事，整天就在忽悠大家。我和工會的人接觸不少，對他們做的事有所瞭解。其實，說句大實話，你要指望中國工會和美國、韓國工會一樣，領導大家罷工、加薪，那你就不要在大陸呆了，在中國我還還沒看到有哪一家工會是這麼幹的。富士康工會每年組織員工返鄉（幾十萬人的火車票啊）、子女入學、員工歌唱比賽、子女暑假寄託、和電臺合作才藝表演等等工作，都是實事，但是人員基數太大了，分下去，個人就感覺不到了。
管理問題
富士康產線的管理是很嚴謹的，甚至嚴苛，但是各位能否出個好主意，能讓員工開心、輕鬆的做好產線上的活呢？我反正是沒想出來，我沒本事讓員工在產線上一邊擰螺絲一邊玩拼圖。
作為曾經也身在一線的老員工，我完全可以體會到富士康基層工人的辛苦，工資最低，工作最多，一有做錯的地方，或許就被某些沒什麼素質的管理幹部罵個狗血噴頭。但這也不能成為跳樓的主要因素，頂多起到了輔助作用，我還是傾向於社會因素，個人因素！
現實的確很殘酷，社會的確很瘋狂！活生生的現實會壓得你窒息，愛情，事業，家庭，當你什麼都感覺遙遠的時候，的確你離死亡不遠了!這也就不難解釋為何跳樓的都是基層員工了，即使是湘潭大學畢業的盧新也是一貧如洗，都是弱勢群體，沒見那個經理跑去自由落體。人，或為物所累，或為情所困，或營營碌碌一生，或南北賓士一世，卻都在世俗而現實地活著。
跳樓門事件把富士康推到了風口浪尖，外界大部分認為公司的管理體制有問題，血汗工廠，敢問你在哪裡不被壓榨呢？不壓榨哪裡產生剩餘價值呢？這是常識啊！不信你自己開一個工廠試試看啊！
我和同事們都非常非常反感媒體搞出來的“九連跳”，“十連跳”這種字眼，它讓人感覺似乎後面還有“十一連跳”，“N連跳”，難道，大家都在眼巴巴期待著後面還有多少人跳樓！？無恥，實在太無恥了。
其實，我們還得感謝郭總裁，富士康在全國範圍來講還算好的了，包吃包住，發餉準時，看看那些黑心的小廠，16個小時上班，2，3塊錢一小時的加班費，我們就該慶倖了！公司門口等待應聘的長龍足以說明一切。在中國就是這樣，你不做，那不好意思，後面站著去，別妨礙後面的人填表排隊！我想，要是沒有像郭總裁這類的資本家來投資，我們的勞動力估計還要廉價，他給祖國大陸做得貢獻是顯而易見的！
說到郭總裁，我講一個小故事，記得2004年春節全體大聯歡，開場前，幾萬人在一起，吵的要死。突然，燈光暗下來，郭總裁從大門口走進來了，舞臺大螢幕上出現了他的特寫，你們知道出現什麼狀況了嗎？好多員工特別是女員工都哭了，因為在大螢幕上看到郭總裁好多的白頭發，還有老人斑，以前都沒有的！我不想多講恭維和討好的話，但是這個小插曲應該還是可以說明一些問題的吧。
最後，我想對死去的年輕人說幾句肺腑之言，都說死者為大，人都死了，一切入土為安，但我忍不住還是要囉嗦一下，就在你們自由落體尋求解脫的時候，你們可曾想過你們的父母，含辛茹苦的把你們養大，卻落得個白髮人送黑髮人，可否想過她們撕心裂肺的痛？人都死了，就不說你們不孝了，願你們在九泉下安息，也希望你們的父母，親人節哀順便。

Fifty Cent Gangs Are Not Employed Just By The Government
05/26/2010 (HSW BBS)
First, let me tell you about my situation. I joined Foxconn in 2002 and I am still working there. My family origins are in Sichuan and I was born in Tibet. I have been at Foxconn for almost ten years, so I am somewhat qualified to speak out.
Several days ago, I saw the open letter from Mr. Li Yi to our President Terry Guo as posted on the company intra-net. This letter had been carried all over the Internet with all sorts of abusive comments and attacks added by Internet users. Many of the comments were preposterous and thoughtless, never mind any rational critiques.
I could not restrain myself from writing this letter and tell you about my views. These views may not represent all Foxconn workers, but they represent a sizeable number of them.
Many people feel that Foxconn's base salary of 900 yuan (plus overtime pay) is exploitative. I think that it is a bit low too. But Foxconn has hundreds of thousands of job positions. Even raising the pay a little bit for each person will lead to a big hit on the company bottom line. The boss cannot be expected to give your all the profits. It is the same anywhere. The workers have to create value at least 10 times their wages before the boss will hire you.
Let me tell you a story. I had worked in the human resources department before and I had to recruit employees at job fairs. There was an interesting incident. The company was hiring an Internet manager to maintain office networks and computers. The monthly salary for this easy job was going to be 2,500 to 3,000 yuan. The applicant that I interviewed was a recent university graduate. After some initial screening in which I determined that he met the basic requirements, I asked him what he wanted for salary. He thought about it and said: "Foxconn? 8,000 yuan per month." I asked: "What is the basis for your 8,000 yuan?" He said: "I need to rent a room at XXX yuan per month; I need to send my parents XXX yuan per month; my girlfriend spends XXX yuan per month; I want to buy a notebook computer; I need to save XXX yuan per month; I need to pay for telephone, transportation, social events, etc. Therefore I need at least 8,000 yuan per month." I was speechless! But I got interested in him and I followed him on his rounds at the job fair. He applied at every company while requesting 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 yuan per month in salary.
What does this tell us? Certain recent graduates have problems with their thinking. They do not consider what their abilities are. Instead, they think that big companies pay high salaries while small companies pay low salaries. It is very common for people nowadays to think that if the company pays too low, you come out losing and you can't concentrate on working hard.
I admit that for the identical job position, a Taiwanese (or other foreign nationality) manager gets paid a lot higher than a mainland Chinese manager. At first, I thought that this was quite unfair. Then I began to appreciate it. You only see that the Taiwanese managers get more pay, but you don't see that they have to live away from their families. It is not easy on them. I am sure that President Guo recognizes that. Take our department. There used to be a dozen Taiwanese managers but there are only three left. Most of the managers are now mainlanders. If you are good, the boss won't let you go.
Many people criticize the Foxconn labor union for not doing anything useful. I have lots of contact with the union folks and I know what they do. Actually, to be completely frank, do you expect a Chinese union to organize strikes and get more pay like American or Korean unions do? I have never seen a single labor union do that in China. The Foxconn labor union organizes the workers to return home each Spring Festival (that means arranging train tickets for several hundred thousand workers), schooling for the children of the workers, singing competitions, child care for the children during summer, radio talent competitions, etc. These are facts, but when there are too many workers, some people may not get to share in it.
Management on the assembly lines are strict, even stern. But do you have any good ideas to let the workers be happy and relaxed on the production line? Anyway, I haven't come up with such ideas. I don't know how to let workers put in screws and play jigsaw puzzles on the production line at the same time.
As a former worker in the front line, I can appreciate that the base Foxconn workers are working hard while receiving low pay. When they make mistakes, they are severely reprimanded by managers who are not always the kindest. But these cannot be the major reasons why people jump off buildings. At most, these can be related reasons. I lean towards social and personal reasons for those suicides.
Life is cruel, and society is insane! Reality can crush you into suffocation. Romance, career, family. When you think that everything is so faraway, you are not that faraway from death! This explains why all those who committed suicide are lower-level workers. Even the Xiangtan University graduate Lu Xin was impoverished. They are weak and vulnerable. We do not see any senior-level managers go into a free fall. Many people keep living in spite of their problems with materials, romance, toil or travel.
The suicides have put Foxconn in the eye of the storm. Many outsiders think that there must be a problem with the company management system (to wit, a sweat factory). But where can you work without being exploited? Which places do not extract extra value from you? This is commonsense! If you don't believe it, you can try and start your own factory!
I and my colleagues resent the hot terms such as "nine successive jumps," "ten successive jumps" used by the media. This makes people look forward to "eleven successive jumps" ... "N successive jumps." Are you waiting to count how many more people will jump!? Shameless. This is really too shameless.
Actually, we should be grateful to President Guo. In China, Foxconn is a relatively good place to be -- they provide food and board, and they issue pay checks on time. Those evil small factories make you work 16 hours a day with 2 to 3 yuan per hour overtime if you are lucky! The long queues of job seekers in front of the factory gate should explain everything. This is how it is in China! If you don't want to work, then you should get out of the way and let those behind you fill out their application forms! I think that without capitalists like President Guo willing to invest, Chinese workers will be paid even less. His contributions to the motherland are clear to see!
I have a story about President Guo. At the 2004 Spring Festival party, several tens of thousands of workers were assembled in the plaza. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and President Guo came through the front gate. There was a close-up of him shown on the large projection screen on the stage. Do you know what happened? Many of the workers, especially the women, began to cry, because they saw that President Guo had white hair and his face was freckled with age where none existed before! I don't want to say anything more in the way of flattering and fawning, but this small episode should explain certain problems.
Finally I want to say something to the deceased young people. It is said that they should be left in peace now that they have moved on. But I cannot help but nag a little. As you dropped into free fall, did you think about your parents who brought you up with such efforts? Now they have to attend your funeral. Did you think about the heart-rending pain that they had to go through? Since you are gone now, there is no point in accusing you of lack of filial piety. I pray that you rest in peace, and I hope that your parents and relatives have peace of mind.

Foxconn's Waiver Agreement
05/26/2010
On May 25, many Chinese websites began to report on This letter asks employees to promise that they will not use extreme methods to hurt themselves or others. Should the employees commit suicide or otherwise inflict injuries upon themselves, the employees and their families may not ask the company to either pay more than the legally allowed compensation or otherwise use extreme methods to affect production at the company. A signature is required at the bottom, together with employee number, citizen ID number, date of signature, personal contact information and emergency family contact information.
To be more specific, the employees are signing to keep three promises:
1. If I should encounter any problems or hardship in the course of my work and my life in the future, I will contact or seek help from the "employee care center" and other departments in order to seek help and resolution;
2. I shall assume responsibility for my own actions. If I should encounter difficulties or setbacks, I will contact my relatives in a timely manner, or report to the company managers. At the same time, I agree that my colleagues and the company's human resources personnel may contact and communicate with my family members but not in a way that might hurt myself or others. I agree that the company may send me to get medical treatment if I should exhibit abnormality in physical and/or mental health in order to safeguard the well-being of myself and/or others;
3. In the even of an accident not caused by the company (including suicide, self-inflicted injuries, etc), I agree that the company may deal in accordance with the relevant laws. I and/or my family shall not make demands beyond what is legally mandated, nor take any extreme actions that affect the reputation of the company, nor interfere with the normal production process at the company.
Is Foxconn under social pressure?
