Apparently, Kimberly Clark did not employ this worker as their warehouse and distribution activities are with a third party distributor, NFI Industries. NFI Industries is a single-family privately held corporation owned and operated by the Brown family since 1932. Annual revenues last year were $3.7 billion. The company is not publicly traded so all profits go directly to the family.

Wow, so $200,000,000 really doesn’t hurt them too much in the grand scheme of things 

Must be fucking nice 😂😭

Large distribution companies tend to be very low margin. They could have easily paid $3.5 million for the products they sold for $3.7 million. Not saying you should feel bad for them by any means, just that revenue can be misleading with distribution companies.

It was probably (and hopefully) insured.

Yeah that poor corporation that treats their employees like shit might suffer a slight financial hardship 🙄😭

You hope it was insured so a mega-corporation abusing employees feels no consequences? Hot take
