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.

Yeah and TSMC complains about US workers but at the same time keeps opening new plants there. It's pretty obvious what it's like to work for TSMC.

You know the US government is paying TSMC hundreds of millions of dollars to open plants in the US, right?

TSMC is likely opening new plants in the US for geopolitical reasons. I.e. they open a plant in the US and get some us domestic silicon manufacturing underway and the US gives them security guarantees.
