  • Earlier this month, more than 250 women workers at the Foxconn plant were treated for food poisoning, with more than 150 hospitalized.
  • On Tuesday, it was reported that Apple (AAPL) is giving some of its engineers bonuses worth up to $180,000 in stock to keep them from defecting to other tech companies, including Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) as it ramps up its augmented and virtual reality efforts.
