China: Suicide at tech giant Huawei · Global Voices
John Kennedy

Following up on one blogger's lead, some comments on yet another staff suicide at tech company Huawei this week which for many reinforces the company's popular image of having one of the toughest workplace environments in the country.
Twenty-five year-old Li Dongbing's suicide is being reported as the 37th—a number questioned by some [zh]—in the company's 20-year history, and as with the reports from the second half of 2007 of Zhang Rui and Zhao Bing's suicides and Qiao Xiangying's sudden death due to over-exhaustion while in a company washroom, some revere the competitive culture at Huawei, many scrutinize it, and even more find ways to relate to it.
‘Is Huawei cursed?’ It had been accused by Cisco in a 2003 lawsuit, later dropped, of ripping off the company's IOS operating system. News reports are quoting insiders with various rumors: Li had just lost big on the stock market; his microwave transmission project had been canceled; he was in debt; he wasn't meeting company performance standards, an assertion many refute [zh]. Huawei Human Resources issued a statement which said it be cooperating with police, who today released a statement saying Li had been having relationship problems.

华为的确该反思，为什么这事老发生在自己身上，自身肯定有原因的。

以为他是因为炒股才跳楼的同学都被骗了
我在成都 里面有人
刚才华为内部开会统一口径 必须说这是炒股
但是实际上和过去华为所有自杀的人原因是一样的
至于楼上还有一口咬定是炒股死的人我只能说你要么是被骗了要么是被统一了口径

华为又为中国的计划生育事业做出了卓越的贡献
为２００８年，新的跳跃式发展，开了一个好头
华为所有的分，子公司应该租底楼

能说是华为的责任吗？就算华为肯承认，我想当地政府也不会允许华为承认吧？更何况华为根本就不承认！

从某个侧面反映了公司的文化，我断定，他不是最后一个自杀者。

我在读大学的时候，基本上每年学校里都有出现同学自杀或者精神出问题。我们班40个同学里，还出现了一个因为感情问题精神崩溃，最后退学的。那么大的公司，几万个员工，出现这样的问题很正常吧。

Yesterday they said he was in huge debt, and today they say he had relationship troubles!!
I see, love is just a financial debt!!
这么说吧，华为的产值很高，在国际上也有竞争力，表面上是高科技。其实根本就没什么科技含量。就是一个高技术的工厂。其能够生存下来，完全是靠寄生在目前电信运营商身上，而运营商是个寄生在广大群众身上的，所以说，华为实际也是一个寄生虫。

Beijing:
How to put this. Huawei has a high output value, is competitive internationally, and appears hi-tech on the surface. But in reality what it produces isn't technology. It's just a hi-tech factory. The only thing that keeps it alive are parasites inside the current telecom operators, and the operators are a parasite in the larger body of society. So in practice, Huawei is just one big parasite.
华为的销售有一半多是在海外完成的,这一点兄弟你清楚吧?

作为一个民营企业,在短短20年的时间成长为世界电信网络领域的NO.5,
每年为国家上缴利税第一(电子科技行业),
每年解决大学生3000多的就业问题,
每年国际申请专利中国第一,
可能成为中国第一个跨入世界500强的民营企业……..

其实这些事情和华为的关系不大了，因为大家都有选择雇主的权利，压力大，我们可以选择辞职，找份轻松一点的。
我有同事也是华为出来的，他就挺乐观的
