The employee strike naturally affected the company's bosses and shareholders the most.
They were simply baffled, the company had been operating just fine, and suddenly the employees started striking out of the blue.
The employees demanded a wage increase and reduced overtime hours; these demands sounded reasonable at first listen, but upon closer inspection, none of their requested pay raises were below 50%!
Do you think that's excessive? Want to negotiate? The employees at Qualcomm Electronics demanded a doubling of their salaries—our demand for a 50% raise isn't excessive, is it?
Incredibly, the striking teams formed a sort of competition between themselves—what? You're asking for 50%? Then we demand 60%!
You're asking for a decrease of 3 hours in the weekly working time? No way! We demand a reduction of 5 hours!
What? You demand the annual bonus to be no less than two months' salary? Damn! We asked for less, only one month! Hurry up and go back to renegotiate with the boss!
