CTOnews.com April 25 news, earlier news that wafer foundry leader TSMC issued a notice of basic salary adjustment to employees on April 24, with an average salary adjustment rate of 4% to 5% this year, down from nearly 10% last year, which is expected to be seen in wages on the 25th.

According to the Taiwan media "United News Network", some employees in TSMC's internal staff discussion area complained that the company did not adjust capital expenditure this year, but cut back on salary adjustment, and that competitors Samsung and Intel were not so stingy.

But then senior employees fought back, saying that capital expenditure is for the long-term development of the company. If the company does not expand its production capacity, it will lose the momentum of profitable growth in the future. "the upper level is far-sighted, while the grass-roots level only looks at the present." instead of complaining that the salary adjustment is not enough, you might as well work hard.

A spokesman for TSMC confirmed that the company had finalized the pay adjustment this year, but did not disclose the pay adjustment.

TSMC said that annual regular pay adjustments are carried out every year, and in 2021, in order to meet the needs of employees who want to convert part of their dividends into monthly salaries, a large structural salary will be introduced in 2021. The annual routine salary adjustment of up to 20% in April 2022 is also nearly 10%.

Due to the decline in the semiconductor economy, TSMC expects revenue to decline for two consecutive quarters this year, but it still reflects inflation factors such as rising prices. TSMC decided to increase wages by about 5% this year, which is lower than last year, and the actual rate of adjustment still varies according to individual performance, seniority and rank.

According to previous reports by CTOnews.com, TSMC reported revenue of NT $508.63 billion (currently about 114.442 billion yuan), up 3.6% from a year earlier, down 18.7% from a month earlier, and net profit of NT $206.9 billion (currently about 46.552 billion yuan), up 2.1% from a year earlier, down 30% from a month earlier, exceeding market expectations, but it was the smallest increase in four years.

TSMC expects Q2 quarter sales of $15.2 billion to $16 billion; second-quarter gross profit margin is expected to be 52-54%; full-year capital expenditure is forecast to be $32 billion to $36 billion, with no investment cuts compared with rumors.

In addition, TSMC has recruited 8000 people for two consecutive years. TSMC has also launched talent recruitment this year, recruiting 6000 new employees from abroad.
