Didnt they recently run headlines that Americans are lazy sack of shit that don’t want to work free unscheduled overtime ?
The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.
Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.
Corporate komissar spotted
I guess they are learning that creating proper incentive structures works better than running some clown PR campaign about management failures.
A man can dream!
Meanwhile EU: “I sleep”
Yeah cool, let’s keep depending on other countries for stuff our whole economies are based on.
I mean, EU did pass the ECA, “problem” with the EU is you are not as free to abuse your workforce as in Asia and in the USA, so the cost of labor is higher.
You’re not abusing extremely high skill workers who can easily get a new job elsewhere. Not if you want high profit margins.
Oh but the TAMC work culture is practically abuse
Aren’t there still massive issues with the Colorado River running dry? Hopefully they’re not too dependant on that water source for their chips
Although the amount of water is shrinking. The main issue for the Colorado is abuse from agriculture. Something like 80% is being used for farming in the middle of the fucking desert. And even worse their growing shit like avocados and almonds that need a shit ton of water.
Once it’s up to speed the CIA can start sabotaging the Taiwan facilities.
