One of Apple’s key iPhone suppliers is paying workers to quit and go home as it struggles to operate amid worker unrest and COVID lockdowns.
In a staff notice, Foxconn said it would offer newly-hired employees at its plant in Zhengzhou an 8,000 yuan ($1,100) bonus to resign immediately and an additional 2,000 yuan ($300) if they boarded a bus back to their hometown, reports the South China Morning Post. The bonus is more than a month’s wages for Foxconn workers, according to Bloomberg.
