We will be punished for building the company to be able to go public. Despite COVID, record profits. This is the big thank you we heard about for years. Sad how this happens. Work every day through the entire epidemic for nothing.

It is heart breaking and sad to see our company turning from once potential competitor to TSMC now struggling to survive for its own existence. It lost the stakeholders blessings that was its biggest strength, lost its talent pool that what it... — read more
