Foxconn, one of China's largest companies, recently halted hiring until March and some analysts have found a new reason to blame Apple and negatively influence the value of the company's shares. Those from the Financial Times I support that decrease in terminal sales iPhone 5 would have been the basis of this restriction on new hires, but the reality is different. According to those from Foxconn, the hiring freeze is related to the fact that after the Chinese New Year celebration, more employees returned to work than in previous years, and the company does not need new workers.
Foxconn halted recruitment until the end of March after more employees returned from the Chinese New Year break than a year earlier, Bruce Liu, a spokesperson for the Taipei-based company, said today in a phone interview. The decision was not related to iPhone 5 production, he said.
The rumor published today reduced the value of Apple shares by 2%, and even if the information was true, it is normal for sales to decrease in the January-February period. Practically, analysts are now looking for any reason to attack Apple and information like the one regarding competing with Samsung in sales the price of Apple shares does not increase as much as a negative news decreases it. Tim Cook stated that the actions of Apple's partners should not be directly related to the company he leads, and this is a good example of this.
