    But it isn’t counter to logic or profit.

    If other people don’t play into what you care about, then they aren’t included in the logical equation. The only goal is personal profit.

    And there are some counter examples, but generally CEOs of big companies like this make a shit ton of money. Personal profit. If the company goes under, it doesn’t matter because they’ve made their personal profit.

      Shirking safety isn’t conductive to profit though. If am employee dies it doesn’t benefit you. Even if you literally have zero empathy and only care about the bottom line.

        A dead employee may cost less than the safety measures that would have protected them.
