Thats what happens when you put a finance guy in charge of an engineering company. Lets see what the engineering guy can do now that he is at the top.

Central Oregon has some amazing night skies. Went to Hancock Field Station as a kid for astronomy camp and it was incredible.

Not to mention the rents going up to make up the lost money for all those who didn't pay rent the last 2 years.

Not if the tenant isn't being required to pay rent. 2 years of government money in the name of COVID assistance and rent help...but nothing that actually meant it went to paying rent. Some tenants simply bought more stuff or saved it

Eventually...and maybe once we get to 100% clean electricty we can look at adding more things like 100% EVs, heat and cooking stoves. However pushing to add them now doesn't help the situation. Old appliances in general should probab

Not to mention where does the electricity for those replacement stoves come from...probably NG or coal...

by j_walter 5y ago
They didn't really dive into the fact that if you switch all of those gas stoves for electricity...a lot of that electricity comes from NG or coal fired plants anyway. They focus on leaks too...well every appliance plugged in leaks ele

Depends on which state...some allow sub-minimum wage if getting tips and some require minimum wage no matter what. So someone in OR or WA will get $14/hr + tips.

Certainly not everyone and there are plenty of companies not willing to reward you the proper way. In my experience TSMC is not one of those companies.

You would be surprised how much impact a poorly directed HR department can have...not just on new hires but on senior people as well.
256.
by j_walter 5y ago
Exactly this...there are always those willing to work their ass off to succeed. Those who are willing to do so get rewarded...but finding out who those people are takes time and generally that's not something you can see on a resume.

I've spoken directly with the person he said that to.

They don't want experienced people from other fabs. That's the whole point...forming a former Intel engineer to the TSMC way is extremely difficult and the success rate is extremely low. A recent grad is malleable and they don&#

They cornered the market...they literally have a monopoly and it's impossible to compete against at this point. AMAT is also impossible to compete against despite how shitty they are because they just buy competitors and make them shi

The working requirements in 24/7 manufacturing facilities is different than most 8-5 jobs. When you have $30B invested into a facility you have to maximize output and that means keeping all of the equipment up and running.

It sounds like inefficiency to those that don't understand the process. These engineers are working on equipment that costs $10M-150M each. Having a long meeting in person meeting to discuss ongoing issues is not a liability. A bran

Fab operators and technicians generally work compressed shifts yes, but not usually engineers which is what the glassdoor reviewer is. Engineers work M-F usually and generally 8-5, but when the fab needs them they are there. That may enta

It's not open, but many of the new engineers are currently training in Taiwan. The engineer in question is simply seeing what his TSMC counterparts are doing. The Taiwanese culture is very hard working and that is why TSMC is ahead o

Yes, the company that has overtaken the other Semiconductor giants like Intel and Samsung must be doing a poor job with their internal tools. Not every company uses Matlab or Mathworks to analyze data...they take the simple stuff that work

This is not their first plant in the US, and working >8 hour days is the norm for most engineers there.

I think the initial cause was a BLM flag that a parent took issue with being in the classroom. Initially they were going to just ban BLM flags due to the highly contentious nature, but extended the ban to all flags except the US and state

I don't think they are saying the destroy it...but postpone access to it until people are mature enough to read it in context. Careful what you say about killing fascists...using violence to squash an ideology you don't agree with

You need to define "we"...because that is part of the point. We as parents should be setting our kids up to deal with adult issues...schools should stick to learning the basics and not necessarily expanding the minds of middle sc

Yes. We don't allow public schools to require reading the bible...for different reasons obviously, but it still isn't being forced on kids.
