TSMC has high income but high work pressure. Netizens are hotly discussing: Only the strong deserve to stay.

As a hot chip foundry, TSMC is now the absolute leader in this field. Its advanced technology has been recognized by NVIDIA, TSMC, AMD, Apple and other companies. When production capacity is insufficient, some manufacturers are willing to increase prices by 100%.

Most of the employees who can work at TSMC are elites. They must have high income and good benefits. Not only are their annual salary + dividends enviable, but they are also very generous in their daily activities. At the TSMC sports meeting a few days ago, the company paid each person a bonus of NT$25,000, which is almost 5,000 yuan, which is generous.

But employees have never stopped complaining about TSMC. High income comes with high pressure, and overtime is commonplace. After all, semiconductor production is 24 hours a day, requiring shifts, and the workplace culture is strict and requires employees to strictly abide by discipline.

Netizens who know TSMC may know an evaluation of it by company employees——One hundred thousand young people have one hundred thousand livers, which shows the great work pressure.

Regarding TSMC's approach, some people mentioned why TSMC does not reduce some salaries and reduce work pressure. This can be regarded as a balance, but TSMC obviously does not accept this approach.

Regarding this issue, netizens and TSMC employees and former employees have discussed it on Threads. All parties have different opinions. One point of view sums it up well. The general idea is that there are many very capable people who can withstand pressure, solve complex problems, make beautiful PPT reports, manage upwards, manage interpersonal relationships well, and joke and get off work early. Such talents will stay at TSMC. They are already in the shape of TSMC.

In the past, many employees complained that TSMC wasted a lot of time on useless PPT reports, but TSMC still adheres to such a work system. Based on the above explanation,TSMC uses a combination of high income and high pressure to form a screening mechanism. Only the strong are worthy of staying.Those who cannot bear the pressure will eventually either leave voluntarily or be eliminated.

The benefits of this are also obvious. The employees left by TSMC are all the elites of the elite and have strong combat effectiveness. This is one of the core reasons why TSMC has transformed from an ordinary chip foundry to No. 1 in more than 20 years.
