Chinese company installs safety nets to prevent suicides...

Saw this on Drudge this morning and thought it was kind of interesting. That's going the extra mile to keep your employee's safe :lol: . Kinda sad though, seems like these changes always only occur after the fact, under pressure from employees and labor groups. Worked for a few companies like that myself. :x

**EDIT** Apparently as of 40 min. ago, they're taking the nets down for that big rally:

Still pretty crazy though. I bet that's one hella work party...

1.3 million workers?! :shock: That's a big company man.

I often feel like killing myself where I work, but I'd definitely take a few people with me.

I like how they blame Foxcomm for this while "Apple Inc., Sony Corp., Dell Inc., Nokia Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co." are laughing all the way to the bank. That's the globalized economy for you.
