- Samsung’s chip workers are jumping ship to rival SK Hynix
Samsung semiconductor workers are leaving for rival SK Hynix due to significantly higher bonuses, with SK Hynix offering $476,000 per employee compared to Samsung’s $135,000 in its foundry division. The exodus reflects a talent war fueled by SK Hynix’s record profits from high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI accelerators, while Samsung ties bonuses to divisional performance, demoralizing employees.
