What is the value of a human life in the eyes of corporate america? |
From a corporate point of view. What is the cost of a human life? i.e We can outfit our police officers in full kevlar armor to protect them or to quote Morgan Freeman in Batman Begins, "The US Army didn't think a life of a solider was worth $30,000." What is the value of a human life in the eyes of corporate america? If I recall correctly... in a court of law, corporations are only required to pay $200,000 per death. Of course you add on the "loss of salary", "pain and suffering", and "punitive" charges then you get upwards into the millions. But, in the eyes of Corporate America we are only worth $200,000 each. Source(s): Corporate law class Read any book on Engineering ethics; they have computed this thru various methods. as much as they will spend or buy, or how much they will invest. the value of a human life in their eyes is 0. the products that's bringing in the money is what's important. It depends. A $5.15 USD per hour blue collar employee is worthless to a Corporation because he can be replaced in a day. A $51.50 USD per hour white collar employee is worthless to a Corporation because he can be replaced in a week. A $515.00 USD per hour middle management employee is worthless to a Corporation because he can be replaced in a month. A $5,150 USD per hour executive employee is priceless because he cannot be replaced in a year. |
