TSMC workers making $87k bonuses while manufacturing every chip that makes trillion dollar AI companies possible is the semiconductor version of the “we made $4 billion this quarter, best we can do is a pizza party” meme.
their own ceo said bonuses were “too high” and suggested cutting them 20 to 30% in the same quarter they posted a 58% profit increase. hard to imagine a faster way to radicalize your workforce
huh, my CS professor was telling me how he use to work for TSMC and they paid really really well, even the janitor but they all get burn out and retired by late 40s. guess that isnt true anymore then.
Unreal, they are already so underpaid. Salaries in Taiwan are criminal
Greed is a mf the people united is stronger then a few mfs who don’t even know how the technology is made fr
