Love the recycling of the above image!

Those girls must be pretty tired about now.

They've been on shift for 10,000+ hours at this point in time...

Heck, I would work through Christmas/New Years for triple pay. Sorry granny, catch you next year.

Looks like Apple, the beleaguered device maker isn't cutting orders back enough to match the lack of demand they are experiencing across all markets. /s

But how can this be possible? Just yesterday some chick on CNBC was predicting AAPL stock to drop another 30% and said she went to 10 different places which all told her not to buy an iPhone because its just image and hype.

The so-called analysts will say Apple is gonna fire all those workers after the over time work as next quarter will see demand drop

They do this every year. It's not illegal in China, they are paid every well and according to reports it is by volunteer selection.

Given that most of the workers are there to make money as as much as they can they likely welcome the extra cash oppportunity.

And it really isn't reflective of anything other than Foxconn understanding that said period is not a major national holiday for the rest of the world so 'sorry your custom config is going to take twice as long cause the factory is on holiday' just pisses the buyers off cause they don't get why said time deserves everyone taking a week vacation at the same time

That chick (her name is Abagail Doolittle) is a chart reader and not an analyst.  Apple has been notorious for holding the iPhone 5 stock to themselves.  Most of the carriers do not have any inventory to sell.

It doesn't matter whether this report is true or not. It doesn't matter if it's good for Apple or not. It doesn't matter if it's a good thing for the workers or bad (making them work longer hours....horrors!).

In the end, the only thing that matters is that the analysts will find some way to use the story as an excuse to drive Apple's stock down further.
