Work that requires you to do one thing 5000 times a day shouldn't be done by a human anyway.
- nandemo 15y agoYes, I also think is intolerable that those people have to do grudge work for such low pay. Let's hope they become unemployed soon.
- nextparadigms 15y agoThey're not committing suicide because of the low pay. Nobody is forcing them to take the job so I don't think being paid triple the money would do much to lower the suicide rates. It's the job itself that's making them kill themselves. They can't handle the working conditions or the work itself.

- jQueryIsAwesome 15y agoThey should wait until the suicide ratio gets more alarming to do something about their employees conditions?
