Scarred by long hours, low pay, and a hostile work culture, many chip workers are leaving for competitors, including American companies.

• Once a global leader, Samsung Electronics is losing in the fierce semiconductor race to dominate AI supplies.
• It’s also losing engineers, leaving the remaining staff to work long, intense shifts to compensate for vacancies.
• Engineers say they are required to falsify data and defects are slipping through, affecting chip quality.
