These two (distinct from each other) articles are found down the rabbit hole of links from the one posted:

They discuss the culture clash between Taiwanese managers brought in to oversee rampup of the US fab vs. local hires - with different expectations in working hours / availability, role flexibility and tolerance of mistakes - to the point where some of the latter are quitting with allegations of workplace abuse.

I'm curious if either of those have already been discussed on HN, and whether anyone here worked there and have shared their views.

I'm really curious whether cultures seen as having a more "hardcore" work ethic (be it other countries, or startups and certain corporations like SpaceX within our own) correlate with more successful results, and whether the 4% result in this article counters that idea.
