Working for Apple can be Deadly!

When working with Apple, secrecy and privacy is expected out of all employees. One employee Sun Danyong, 25, who worked at Foxconn Technology Group-a Taiwanese firm that produces numerous Apple products-took this secrecy to another extreme. Foxconn is the world biggest contract manufacturer of electronics and has been lone of Apple's most important manufacturing partners. While working for Foxconn, Danyong was responsible for sending iPhone prototypes to Apple. On July 13 he reported a missing 16 fourth generator unit in his possession. The security took measures into their own has as his friends stated that the company security guards searched his apartment, detained him, and beat him. Three days later Sun Danyong jumped from his 12th floor apartment. The security chief has been suspended and denies all allegations. Foxconn executive Li Jinming said in a statement that Sun's death showed the company needed to do a better job helping its employees with psychological pressures.
