Does FoxConn have company scrip? As far as I know, you can take the money you make at FoxConn and save it until you find another job. Or send it to your family to support them.

Company scrip served to make it so you could never save up money to leave, which was the biggest problem.

You could achieve the same just by artificially raising the cost of living through rent and utility fees.
