- hx8 2y agoMedium individual income in AZ is ~37k. I'm not sure how many Americans would give up a 40hour/week job for a 996 that pays 13k more.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoAZ minimum wage is 14.70. If it was 996 and you somehow only got straight time for working 72h a week, it would pay 55000. Assuming there's no overtime exemption it would be $67000. I'm pretty sure it's not a 996 in AZ.
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoWhy does it have to be 996 at TSMC in the US?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoVery easily if they need to pay overtime here. I'd be very surprised to find an argument of $37k being exempt in any state. They will indeed burn themselves out, but that's their choice of work/life balance vs. pay.
- bluGill 2y agoBy how much? Where I live in IA McDonalds is starting at $17/hour, which is not that much behind California. (and both states are large enough to expect some variation depending on where you live)
