No. They just refuse to pay and they treat their people like garbage. "TSMC is about obedience" https://www.techspot.com/news/99008-tsmc-extreme-work-culture-affecting-us-hiring-ceo.html https://www.techspot.com/news/99008-tsmc-extreme-work-cultur... My students looked into some TSMC jobs. The pay is terrible. And they don't scale up or pay for expertise. Talking to people in the department who have worked there, they treat you like a replaceable cog who should be glad and honored to have a job. You have zero agency. You're told what to do, no explanations, no control. The boss is king. Hard pass. There is plenty of expertise in the US. Most of the technology TSMC uses was invented in the US. But people aren't willing to work for nothing, work insane hours and shifts, while being treated poorly, with no agency. I guess by those standards US workers are lacking.
