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. : technology

No, it's going to require extreme salaries, because there are so many options for the qualified people in the Phoenix area. TSMC's reputation precedes them and people would rather work at Intel or NXP or ONsemi or anywhere else for less money, than to work for them

Outrage bait.

You guys do know the affordability of the chips you're using to comment on this is a direct consequence of TSMC "efficiency", right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

TSMC doesn’t make everything.

There are morally abhorrent chip manufacturers in South Korea and Japan as well.

The comment in this thread are a good summary of why TSMC has concerns. I fully support workers rights of course. But from TSMC's perspective, WHY would they want to put up with all our 'crap' when they can continue operating in Taiwan with their standard practices?

Fair point however I would rather have chip dependance than exploitation

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Because we have them money to do it.

They don't.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes we do. The problem is we demand things like fair salary and PTO.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You have PTO in the US?

laughs in legally mandated minimum 30 days of paid vacation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My state legally requires a minimum of 5 days. Everyone I know has way more than that. My wife has unlimited time off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is "paid time off" not a thing in Europe? What are 30 mandated vacation days then? Are y'all not paid for that month?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The law says that you get minimum of 30 day of paid time off.
