Keeping an eye on what is important

Have you heard about the company in China that makes all these tablet computers?
They have had problems with their workers. Specifically, them stop working. Because they are killing themselves.
How depressing can you be to choose killing yourself over quitting? Walk out. Go away.
You are not that trapped. If you are going to be trapped, spend months in the cargo hold of a ship and come to America.

Recently, they have said they have found the solution. They have addressed the problem. Suicides are down by 80%. 80%! That is a success. I mean no disrespect for the 20% but you have to give the company something for doing something about it.
What did they do?
They installed nets on the sides of the buildings.
Which means that you can attempt suicide.
But we will catch you.
Literally.

"Yahooooo.."
Boing.
"Ok breaks over. Back to work."

Talk about keeping your priorities straight.
