The Financial Times ran a story today analyzing the contributions made to a company on a per employee basis. They noted that each Nintendo full time employee is contributing approximately $1.6 million to the bottom line, even more than other standouts including Goldman Sachs and Google.
But the value of this calculation is using it as a marker against Lehman Brothers, when it filed for bankruptcy yesterday. With total debt of $613 billion spread across its 25,000 employees, each of those former highly compensated workers was personally responsible for $24,500,000 in debt.
This is the what happens when a nation's best and brightest financiers are left to do business without regulation.
