Mutt Mongrel Murricans are not as smart as Taiwanese and do not work as hard, either. They worship the negro, talk back, are aggressively individualistic/selfish and are entitled for no real, valid reason. Not good, docile workers like Asians.
It's culture shock, but if the pay is enough, American workers can get used to anything. Taiwan's traditional culture shouldn't be imposed all at once, though. Step one: create a 100% DEI-free economic zone protected from socialist government interference and lawfare shakedowns, like it is in Taiwan.
This doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't the top talent TSMC needs, for the most part, be different talent than the top talent needed by startups, hedge funds, and investment banks? SOME of the management and accounting, etc., would overlap, but, there's a lot more to it than that.
These days (and even 20 years ago), job descriptions are really specialized out there...
It IS true Intel already has well established recruiting through US universities.
If you were to dig deeper I’ll bet white males are being passed over because of DEI.
Given TSM's different culture (Taiwanese workaholism), they will, in the end, probably have to train their own...and this takes time.
To address these issues, TSMC has begun working with local colleges and universities to expand engineering programs and create a pipeline of future talent. They are also offering apprenticeships and internships to familiarize students with the semiconductor industry and its demanding work culture.
Which is probably why the Arizona plants are taking so much time to bring on line.
TSMC is really just an extreme example of the benchmark culture which has infected the country. “We hire the best but we pay the midpoint” seems to be the new mantra. If you want the top 1%, your compensation targets need to hit closer to the 90th percentile. Admittedly you will still have to carefully screen in the hiring process, but you have a better chance of attracting the workforce you seek.
