They don't belong to Microsoft. Those are KYE Systems sweatshops/factories.

Refalm:
It's generally a bad idea not to look in the workplace of your contractor.

If you where to contract a European or American company for an assignment, you'd take a tour in the workplace. That's what's considered normal.

Either KYE Systems was lying during the tour, there was no tour, or Microsoft didn't care about the working conditions.

worker201:
A Chinese commenter points out that it is very common for Chinese workers to sleep during breaks, and that this happens in almost every job in almost every industry.  So it's a misleading article.  Well, I certainly wasn't expecting truth from Daily Mail.

Lead Head:
A lot of these contracted out companies do lie and mislead about conditions. For example, a business might spec out a specific formula for some chemical, but later on down the production company finds that they can replace X chemical with Y chemical that is cheaper while still charging the same price to original business. That is how all that stuff with lead paint started. Do you think these toy manufacturers originally spec'ed out "White Lead Paint"?
