Zhang Zhongmou: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will not lay off workers this year without unpaid leave.

TSMC Chairman Zhang Zhongmou (TWM-US) today (15th) attended the "2011 I Love Taiwan's Recreated Miracles" Sports Meet and said at the meeting, "Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is in good condition and has 4 major companies. The advantage is that there will be absolutely no unpaid leave this year and next year, no layoffs, and a certain salary increase next April!"

In his speech at the games, Zhang Zhongmou said, “Although there are many uncertainties in the global economic situation, and the industry is sending out unpaid leave or layoffs, TSMC’s fundamentals are good, so there is absolutely no unpaid leave and no layoffs this year and next year. And, in addition, there will be a raise in April next year! The salary increase rate is absolutely not affected by the external environment and the salary increase rate will be normal."

TSMC's fundamentals are good and its competitiveness is strong. There are four advantages. Zhang Zhongmou and stressed that TSMC's “fundamental aspects” are good and “competitive” is strong. It has four major advantages such as excellent talent, abundant capital, first-class technology, and solid profitability. When the economy is not very good, I believe there will still be bright performance.

He later re-emphasized that “Taiwan’s employees have continued to work hard and TSMC has had such a brilliant performance. Each of TSMC’s 34,000 employees is an important asset of the company. Please take good care of your own body and hope that everyone can be in TSMC. Find a place to live in peace."

To allow TSMC managers to be in the hump position of the M-Shape Society for employee care, he later added that “the treatment part, including dividends, has always been a leader in Taiwan, and now in the M-shaped society, TSMC wants to produce in the middle of M’s peaks. To produce a hump, the managers of TSMC are in this hump position. Such treatment will enable employees to enjoy a stable and comfortable economic condition."

He pointed out that "In terms of employees' safe life, employees should not spend more than 50 hours per week on the company's average time. Now they continue to track weekly. In terms of the work environment, they continue to think hard to create challenging and employee-focused workplaces. Both the office and the laboratory have been designed. Recently, probably last week, the new plant in Hsinchu has paid special attention to the setting of the surrounding small gardens and continued to move towards creating a pleasant working environment."

The on-site staff shouted "I love Taiwan and create miracles" and "I love the chairman", and led by a hundred leaders to lead the way. Zhang Zhongmou responded to the staff's cheers from time to time, smiled and waved with his wife, and more. Senior executives conduct positive interactions.
