No. If you can't do it in 52 hours, you're not efficient enough. Close down Exynos. It's a bad joke anyway.

I think people are oversimplifying things just thinking "hire more people". But if you read the article, it says that the law caps total hours one can work including overtime pay. Overtime actually costs a company more money than hiring more people.

The real issue is, where are you going to hire more people? Top talents don't just fall out of the sky. And microchips are only getting more and more complex (just look at a video of a zoom of a modern microchip, it is like a city within a city within a city). Not to mention more competition means talent is very hard to find.

Lastly, the problem it notes is that the rules are in effect even if there is an emergency. It's like imagine you are on a plane that is about to crash, and the pilot goes "well my hours are out", wakes up a sleeping pilot who has no clue what is going on to take over mid crash.

The rules need some flexibility, but of course you don't want companies to abuse that flexibility. So maybe once a year let them go over that 52 or set aside "emergency hours" that can be used through out the year. And of course pay them 5X their wage during those hours so it isn't abused.

Time to move to NK. Working week is there 168 hours.

So now we're scapegoating the workers instead of fixing the shitty management?

Great. I wish their company to burn in flames lol.

Have they ever considered hiring more people? What a joke of a management.

Man, these Samsung executives are really dumb lol living in dreamworld and will blame everything and everyone except their 5 hour work week selves.

Explains their whole 9300 tablet mess

how incompetent of samsung management, if they really wanted to improve their chips they would hire more engineers instead of going through legal loops to exploit their current ones, they should be sued
