According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network", chip foundry TSMC is renowned worldwide for its excellent technology, but the high-pressure environment of militarized management also makes many people unable to bear it. The comprehensive rating on the US workplace evaluation platform Glassdoor is only 3.1 stars, which has sparked heated discussions among PTT netizens on Taiwan's online forum. Many people have said it is not surprising that they have copied Taiwan's culture and work mode to the United States, where people are different, Naturally unable to receive positive reviews.
TSMC received the highest 3.6 stars in various ratings on Glassdoor for economic support such as benefits, while the worst was the possibility of balancing life and work, receiving only 2.1 stars, indicating that most people believe that working at TSMC is difficult to balance quality of life.
A PTT netizen on a Taiwanese online forum saw that the score was "too tragic", which sparked discussion. However, others had different opinions and agreed that it was not surprising. Some netizens left a message saying, "It didn't collapse, it wasn't that high." "I remember it was 2.9 before."
In addition, some netizens mentioned that cultural differences are the reason why scores are difficult to improve, and some netizens left comments saying, "The fact is, directly copying things from Taiwan in the past will naturally have problems." "With such pressure resistance, they still want to manufacture chips back to the United States." "Americans are already difficult to adapt to the production line, so it's not surprising that it will be low."
This incident seems to be a microcosm of TSMC's problems with its American factory. In August, TSMC delayed the production of its American factory due to a lack of sufficient skilled workers, which was criticized by the Arizona labor union in a letter to the media, questioning TSMC's intention to introduce cheap labor. Subsequently, many American workers or contractors also complained online about TSMC's shortcomings, leading to a media frenzy and tense labor management relations.
