All Screwed Up

If you work for Foxconn, don’t cheat on your wife.

That’s the message the world’s largest EMS company explicitly sent yesterday, according to several published reports.

Apparently, working for Foxconn means no cheating on spouses, gambling, prostitution, drugs or bribery (not to mention telling the company where you are during certain holidays or overseas trips).

Not that I’m condoning any of that behavior, but I can’t help but note the irony of the rules.

So it’s OK for the company to screw the employees, but not OK for employees to screw each other. Got it.
