Overdoing Outsourcing, Simply Overkill

In regard to the last post, overdoing it refers to excessive attempts to save by outsourcing to sweatshops or factories in sub human conditions. Nowadays, I have been told by insiders in the textile industry in the Philippines that some clothing factories are even required to have adequate air-conditioning and employees are not allowed to work excessively. It means that overtime work cannot exceed 15 hours , never on consecutive days and never in excess of 2 overtimes in a week. My gosh, it makes me feel that an HDMI splitter will be good for those factories. With enough time to enjoy television and audio entertainment, blu rays and the latest gadgets probably abound in the employee housing units of those factories.
