The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.::Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience. Americans may push back on the company's culture.

Unless you let yourself get fucked over, you're not on call 24/7/365 and for the time you are on call, you should get some sort of compensation.

They want to pay you shitty for 8 hours and than let you work 12-14 plus being on call for the rest of the day.
