"There was a copy effect. If one commits suicide, then others will follow."

First time I've heard anybody say that before!!

Woo said: "Suicides were not connected to bad working conditions. There was a copy effect. If one commits suicide, then others will follow."

... Thought the last part was Apple's latest slogan.

Also, if I jumped out of a window, I'd probably shout "Wooooooo!"

The copy effect is very real for suicides. Read the book "The Tipping Point" and there is a long section about it.

The article says their standard work week is 48 hours/week. Extra 24.5 overtime per week would be 72.5 hours per week. And that's assuming they are actually getting credit for all hours worked, which I doubt...

Where do you get this 134 hours/month figure?
