Guys, Coke only increased their profits by less than 3% to less than $30 billion last year. If they paid out every one of their 70 000 employees for every horrible, preventable workplace accident the same $2500, that'd add up to $175 million. So if every single employee was injured like this every 2 days, and they had to pay out $175 million every other day, they'd actually lose a bit of profit by the end of the year. So you can clearly see how they came to that very reasonable and carefully considered sum as a basis to protect their business from financial collapse.
