How Covid may hurt Apple iPhone 14 series again
Apple’s biggest supplier Foxconn may be again facing Covid troubles. The company has reportedly paused its hiring because of four-day quarantine space shortage. The space for quarantined individuals is said to have run out. According to a report in Apple Insider, “Chinese Apple supplier Foxconn needs 100,000 new workers to get back to full capacity, but the four-day quarantine requirement has forced hiring to pause for now.”
The Covid-19 outbreak at Foxconn has led to an exodus of employees. One of the causes of this has been the strict Covid policies for employees at the company’s plants — leading to frequent quarantine and isolation. This has forced the company to hire en-mass to get production back on track. Lockdowns and other measures have created issues for the company. As per a report in South China Morning Post, Foxconn has over 100,000 applicants for the open positions, however, the req red quarantine measurements have led to a three-day pause in hiring. As per rules, every new employee must quarantine for four days before entering the workforce.
