They’re probably more likely to pack up and leave. Some people are just too stubborn-stupid to adapt.
Comment on TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture

Not a surprise given that worker rights are practically non-existant in the East.
Still wild that TSMC thought they could pull that on western workers. I hope they realize it’s not gonna happen and rethink their processes.

They aren’t stubborn, it’s simply way easier for them to make a profit in Taiwan instead. If ever the workers in Taiwan refused 12 hour shifts then TSMC would see the writing on the wall.
Something similar happened when Foxconn first opened iPhone in India.

Similar stuff happened with US companies in the EU.

That stuff even happens with UK companies taking over German companies. They think they can just fire the members of the working council, very bad mistake! Remember, if you go to another country, you have to adjust to their law.

Big business knows no national boundaries. They’ll build factories wherever labor is cheap, put headquarters wherever the taxes are low, and sell their wares wherever consumer rights are weak.

Yes, there is an irony that it’s typically the anti- capitalist left and the hyper-capitalist corporate right that are most supportive of open-border policies.
