So that's what this is about ๐ Enslave workers and require them to be on call 24/7? GTFO with this shit, skills and work ethics they say.
Yeah and TSMC complains about US workers but at the same time keeps opening new plants there. It's pretty obvious what it's like to work for TSMC.
Yup, no joke, thinking about it made me stressed for the people who work there. Damn, must be hell on earth. Yikes. I'm ok with being an IT working from home. They can keep their jobs.
Not much IT work without semiconductors, which is what Taiwan is known for producing en masse. A lot of these decisions to open new factories elsewhere are because of China's constant threats to invade Taiwan.
You know the US government is paying TSMC hundreds of millions of dollars to open plants in the US, right?
TSMC is likely opening new plants in the US for geopolitical reasons. I.e. they open a plant in the US and get some us domestic silicon manufacturing underway and the US gives them security guarantees.
They want to bring their own workers over so they can do exactly that.
Yup, it's kind of sad that that shit is actually considered a "culture" thing. Exploiting workers should never be that. Wtf
