#2So, the fab isn't opened at all -- this is speculation. Intel has many fabs, texas instruments has many fabs, etc
There wont be an issue here.
IMO this reads more like a hit piece or something indicating that they want to back out of the Arizona deal or get more money. It's not really clear.

#4TL;DR in three lines:
>> “The work culture in Taiwan is really different than in the U.S.,” said a person identified as a TSMC Arizona fab equipment engineer on Glassdoor
>> “The reality for people from Taiwan is that they are doing even more than 12-hour days often".
>> “TSMC will have to change to an eight-hour work day five days a week.”
... well yes!

#512 hour days. Sounds pretty dystopian. Guess there's a reason Taiwan has the lowest birthrate in the world. Working themselves into oblivion.

#6Very interesting. Yeah labour is cheap in Taiwan. Even highly qualified, specialized labour. That's why talent leaves to China, USA and Israel.
But about the factory itself, American Factory was quite interesting[1]. Chinese company, but similar culture clash.
It is interesting however that from what I have seen Europeans that wouldn't lift a finger on a weekend would expect Taiwanese to have results on Monday morning, when they themselves only send information about their requests on Friday end of day. So in the middle of the Friday night for the Taiwanese.

#8Lot of troubling quotes, yikes. These workers need to push for a union from the onset.

Bullshit article. Intel rosters it's staff onto 12 hour shifts in their fabs too.

#10“Our analysis software has been passed down since the establishment of the company [in 1987]. There may have been some slight improvements in the software along the way, but the interface remains almost the same.
This seems shockingly outdated. They should hire an UX Expert and rewrite the whole thing with React
