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.

    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.

      I recently moved some of our team’s headcount from the US to cheaper countries (Balkan). Given how expensive the US is, it made no sense to hire there. You can’t argue against math.

      Plus, there are great ecosystems growing in these low cost countries.
