I think OCP was trying to win private policing contracts in other cities. If they could offer robocops, a LEO who produced measurable better results over traditional police departments they could get more contracts.
So it wasn’t really an investment in a worker it was a tech demonstration.
Wasn’t the point that the actual robots produced by the corp that made him were unwanted and mistrusted by the public, so they took an almost dead cop and rebuilt him as a human looking robot to popularize the tech?
They didn’t invest in him they just bought a corpse for marketing purposes and made it a robot with a face.
We had a president whose administration acted like the the most unbelievable supervillain criminal gangs comic books could come up with. So it’s not surprise a good movie couldn’t compete with reality.
Bad example … they invested billions of dollars worth of tech to get this employee back on the job
In real life … they make no investment in their employees, yet they expect them to work at full efficiency even if they are missing a limb or an organ
If it wasn’t for the smell, they’d weekend at bernies your corpse in the Walmart if would make them a buck.
I’m picturing a Walmart greeter corpse on strings like a marionette…

All of that investment was offset by government grants and tax write offs.
No, no, no. Remember, ihe wasn’t some super soldier saving a nation, just a police officer. Here’s an example of Robocop funding…
