Foxconn Raising Prices to Avoid Further Suicides

JOBS to Media "We are unfortunate to announce a price hike for almost all our devices as we do want the FOXCON employees to be happy and help foxcon keep them away from suicidal tendency"

These suicides won't stop with small/large changes in salary or management. They are being influenced by a little known problem discovered when it caused mental breaks for office workers forty years ago. The office cubicle was designed to deal with the vision startle reflex to stop it there.

Electronics assembly line workers use high mental investment as they make decisions, test, and position parts for insertion. They qualify for Cubicle Level Protection. Without it they will continue to have the mental break Subliminal Distraction is known to cause.

The same problem is happening at France Telecom. There have been more than twenty six suicides in the last two years. France Telecom bought modern workstations but either incorrectly installed them or made additions after installation to defeat Cubicle Level Protection. Workers cam also create the problem at home.

There is video taken by news crews that shows these two situations.

VisionAndPsychosis.Net has frame grabs from news video of the two locations.

The cost of labor is typically less than 100% of the cost of the output for any product. Therefor you can double the cost of labor and the output cost may only rise by 15%. Assuming the orignal labour cost was only 15% of the input cost to begin with.

The benefit of this is that more people have more money in which to buy products.

In essence this is why most nations have a 'minimum wage' that goes beyond the concept of a national policy.

The reverse just ends up creating a world where no-one can afford the products they are producing (including food).

The material costs in that estimate seem far too low based on what it costs to process the raw materials into integrated circuits.

Which fabrication facility are the parts manufactured in? (not assembled, manufactured).
