From the article:

“TSMC will have to change to an eight-hour work day five days a week.”

They could have paid me a few thousand bucks as a consultant to tell them that's standard operating procedure around the US ... they could use hourly employees and offer overtime but they can't expect it. Do multiple shifts -- day and night shifts. How did nobody do due dilligence before setting up fabs in the US?



you talk like TSMC and Taiwan wanted to set up US fabs in the first place

It's almost amusing, force them to come open a plant and then castigate them for not accommodating US culture


I mean fabs are billions of dollars. Even if forced to open one they’re too expensive to do so poorly. Best to find a way to make it profitable than to throw a hissy fit about it and pout.
