I work at Intel as a process engineer, and while we struggle with
work-life balance, TSMC takes it to a whole new level. You couldn't
pay me enough to work for them even if I lost my job today, that is
if I wanted to retain my marriage and ever see my kids again.

Most Southeast Asian (SEA) countries' standards of work
hours would horrify most Americans if applied, but same as
there (likely) will be no canings here, labor laws tend to
frown on mandating 60 hour work weeks. Of course they will
frown on the lazy American's "only" working 40 hours a week,
taking breaks, or actually paying overtime with a certain
passive-aggressiveness anyways, such is the cost of doing
business in another country with different rules.
Likewise go work for a company, local or other, that has
been taken over by the various Indian outsourcing companies
like Wipro, Tata, Infosys, or others, you'll get a taste of
the same SEA feel once they've adequately metastasized within
a company. There's always huge cultural boundaries that make
those relationships... interesting when applied domestically.
I've heard plenty of horror stories from Intel, Motorola,
OnSemi, Honeywell, and other domestic, even local AZ chip
plants, I don't expect TSMC would be that much worse operating
here.
Of course you could always go work for the likes of good
old homegrown JP Morgan (or most any domestic financial org)
for the real sweatshop/1984 experience.
Go 'Murica!
