Foxconn chairman compares his workforce to ‘animals’
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/asia/f…
“Hon Hai has a workforce of over one million and as human beings are also animals, to manage one million animals gives me a headache,” said Terry Gou, chairman of Taiwan’s Hon Hai, the parent company of Foxconn.
This was his statement at the end of year party, and considering recent events in Foxconn; Gou picked a regrettable choice of words.
Unfortunately, what could just be poor wording is made much worse by the fact that he also suggested he wanted to learn management techniques from Chin Shin-Chien, director of Tapei Zoo.
