Not sure how they expect to get employees if they pay less and have a much worse culture (from a US perspective) compared to other similar jobs in Arizona at the likes of Intel, On semiconductor, or NXP. Try to get new grads? Hope Intel stops hiring?
Well that’s part of the problem globalization has caused that policymakers have been unable to solve thus far. When the available pool of candidates expands from the state or the domestic national market, to virtually the entire world, labor becomes devalued.
Will be interesting to see how many Intel employees they can steal
Paid for 10 hours but have to work 12+ I’ll pass on that
Goddamn capitalists
Techs to operate these plants aren’t going to be cheap - hopefully the techs can work together and get a good deal out of the new competition
Semiconductor manufacturing is something you absolutely can ‘not’ cost cut on. The level of labor and capital intensity and investment required is enormous.
Yeeep! I did a two year program where I actually designed and fabbed myself some small things in an actual semiconductor research lab. It was quite the complicated place, and being that close to near pure hydrochloric acid was scary stuff.
Correction, hydrofluoric acid. Scarier.
