Successive suicide tragedies have made people question Foxconn's management model. The excuse that tragedy has nothing to do with corporate culture has become a lie that I am embarrassed to repeat. Now Foxconn is busy checking for leaks and filling gaps, and the government, academic circles and related enterprises are also involved in the investigation. If Foxconn and the whole society do not reflect on this management model enough, no matter how much they do, it will not help those migrant workers who are on the verge of mental breakdown.

As far as enterprise management is concerned, capital can be democratic or autocratic. The characteristic of capital is the pursuit of profit. As long as it is easy to make money, it is possible to choose any mode. There are many kinds of enterprise management modes in the world, including equality, affinity and hierarchy. You can say that the nature of capital is cold-blooded and autocratic. In the pre-modern capital jungle society, as Marx said, "when capital comes to this world, blood and dirty things flow in every pore."

Fortunately for modern society, capital is just a social force. No matter how autocratic, life is not the whole. More importantly, it will be supervised and restricted by other powers. Although the power of capital has a great influence on political power, political power is greater than the power of capital, which is a kind of civilized knowledge. For example, a capitalist can use money to influence politicians, but he cannot ask his employees who they must vote for. In addition, freedom of thought, time management and personal privacy outside work are all political rights of employees, and capital cannot interfere or even be bought. This is why the labor law limits overtime hours.

People say that only in Chinese mainland can Foxconn become the "king of OEM in the world". This does not mean the number of employees, but the whole social and political environment. As a big taxpayer, it has already surpassed the power of capital and has great political power. The country has a labor law, but Foxconn can still design a management system with overtime as its main source of income; There are policemen in Shenzhen, but it is not easy to enter the Foxconn factory to deal with public security problems. Factory security can basically help you do it. After employees jump off a building, psychologists will say that the suicide rate has not reached the social average, and government officials will first blame the media reports.

However, if someone says that Foxconn is not at fault, it is the responsibility of the government and society, it is all wet. Foxconn and similar enterprises are an inseparable part of this society, participants in the operation of power, conspirators and operators who suppress workers' rights. It has gained great advantages from the operation of this social force. Some systems did not come from it, such as the household registration system, which caused the dual division of urban and rural areas and thus produced a large number of cheap labor, but benefited from it. Because of this, Foxconn's management system can suppress the spiritual world of workers and let them walk into a dead end.

Now Foxconn is taking active actions, which is also a matter of practice. I'm still hiring a psychologist in Tsinghua, and I need to hang a 654.38+0.5 million anti-jump net. These measures have certain effects, but they cannot solve the fundamental problems and may even have negative effects. In addition to what to do, the most important thing is that Foxconn should think about what not to do-hand over power other than capital power and lift mental control over employees. To be fair, this should have been done by the government. The profit-seeking nature of capital determines its desire for control, and society should limit it with greater power. However, the government's "pro-business" attitude towards capital is open and difficult to change for a while. Capital itself is the accomplice and beneficiary of this power distortion, and it is also a kind of morality to return society to society on its own initiative, which is also the key to solving the current predicament. If this state is not changed, there may be more crises in the spiritual world of employees.

In the abstract, it is a truth that everyone can understand that sparse is better than blocked. But when it comes to specific issues, it is difficult for Foxconn to jump out of the status quo. The psychological causes of employees mainly come from the extreme paternalistic control of enterprises. However, while solving this problem, parents also take measures to control everything, including actions that they think are beneficial to employees. At this moment, it may be the best suggestion to let Foxconn do nothing and let employees return to a normal social person.
