Cons

Recently, there were just screenshots of a leaked message from a Taiwanese chat group on Teams that got translated and sent around the company. The screenshot said, and the translation said, that basically the Taiwanese said that the Americans are incompetent.

And that the Taiwanese and Indian engineers are far superior to any American. They said, "If you're American and you don't like the culture and you don't like them speaking in Chinese, then you just need to get out of the company."

The Taiwanese have repeatedly said that they are better. They have private chat rooms talking about how they think they are smarter and better than everyone.

It is completely top-down racism. If you are not Taiwanese, you are treated like a second-class citizen.

It’s not worth it to come here. Let this company fail. In America, there are plenty of other semiconductor companies that pay better than they do.

Advice to Management

Rick Cassidy and CC Wei, and executive-level management in TSMC Arizona corporation, need to hold these Taiwanese accountable. People are flocking away in mass numbers. Pretty soon, you will have no Americans hired in the US; it will only be Taiwanese and immigrants. It will bring no value to Arizona residents or Americans.
