A TSMC employee of Advanced Packaging Site 3 (AP3) fell asleep during a night shift and never woke up. Similar incidents have occurred at TSMC sites from time to time. Our competitor is sacrificing lives for profit. Is this the 'right size' Intel is trying to match?

Mans inhumanity toward man runs deep and has nothing to do with being an Intel employee.

Yep. And the guy swinging the bat was a blue badge employee. And according to local news, he had a violent criminal record going back years before he was hired. This means that some employees are held to higher standards of pre-employment background checks than others. Can anybody guess why that would be?
Guy in Ocotillo fab got beat to death in cafeteria by another coworker
When did Intel-ites started to work in earnest?
Maybe 10-20% who actually keep the company afloat?
We’ve had plenty of people die on site at Intel over the years, I’ve known two of them personally.
Humans die every day of the week... correlation (somebody died while working at TSMC) doesn't equal causation (working at TSMC causes death). So please stop embarrassing yourself with asinine posts.
I personally came across a deceased individual in an Intel parking lot, window was slightly cracked and the smell was horrible, Was sad to see a rotting corpse in the parking lot, and wondering how long he had been there and no one had noticed(I saw scores of people walk by, I could not ignore the rotting smell and did a double take, that is why I noticed). I remember knocking on the door trying to get his attention and coming to the realization that no one was home😢, then calling site security who rang up all the fireman and police only. I had places to be but I stayed onsite in case I had to do any police report.
The conversation I had with the Intel site safety person in charge was a bit unsettling, I told him I thought I would read about this incidence on the news and perhaps learn who this individual was as I was interested in how he got here and his story. He responded I would not read about this, that it happens multiple times a year. I assure you at prior companies and in other states even if a person was found deceased in a parking lot, that would make news. With all the AI capabilities, perhaps having a model that checks for car occupancy wouldn't be a bad idea, might save a few lives as well as be another nuisance for those on hard times living in their vehicles.
In short, fatalities are real at Intel too, both from Stress and sadly from work place violence.
There are other ways Intel could be like TSMC …. You know besides working employees to death.
1- They could invest in quality
2- They could execute to or exceed timelines
3- They could fire more employees (it is quite embarrassing Intel has more employees than Nvidia, AMD and TSMC combined. )
Many intel employees are there for the great benefits and 30 hour work weeks. Don’t take one event and draw stupid conclusions.
@afz you must work for the design teams. Everyone I know around me in TD is busting a-s all the time. Turns out that there's no strategy or vision, and we're all just busting a-s for the wrong things.
It happens on our sites too just this new usually suppressed. it only makes major news when there’s a criminal element involved such as the mu---r that happened in Chandler cafeteria
Foxconn employees jump off the top of the building, so there is that.
In the US or out of?
Lol Intel employees work 3 hours a day on average. Work stress is the last thing anyone here should complain about
