The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.::Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience. Americans may push back on the company's culture.

Work ethic? Fuck you and your "work ethic." I do my job and I do it well because it pays me to do it and if I don't do it well, they could replace me. Why do I need a "work ethic?"

They want US workers to be cheap labor without sacrificing quality. It's impossible to do that so they're blaming the workers for being bad instead of blaming the companies for not paying workers well enough.
