I have done extensive work at TSMC fabs in Taiwan.
They DO have a work ethic and a chain of command.
The article says that like it’s a bad thing.
But you know what? INSIDE Taiwan fabs where you KNOW they mostly speak Chinese, we NEVER EVER ran into a language barrier. Taiwanese English is overall excellent — and not just in the semiconductor industry.
So... I dunno... maybe just maybe wokie “Bruce” doesn’t communicate in English so well!

Those “counterproductive” hierarchies haves stopped them from dominating the global market in semiconductor manufacturing.
One of my first jobs was working for Taiwanese. I wouldn’t ever do it again. They follow a very similar corporate and work structure to Japan
I understand why TSMC is successful, but this article gave me flashbacks.
Americans will sacrifice and will work hard to achieve a goal, but I doubt Taiwanese will be able to figure out how to do this.
