That’s exactly why so many companies push employee assistance programs for mental health crisis and weight loss. They don’t care if you actually get better, so long as it make you more profitable to them.

But it always does.

If we actually cared about profit, we would have 3 day work weeks, plenty of vacation days, free child care, free housing and basic food staples.

And the profits would break the sky.

But it’s more about control and making poors miserable than about absolute profits.
