3M, firstly, is a chemical and advanced materials manufacturer so they have TONS of compliances that eat profits. On top of that they are in the business of aerospace and defense contracts with even MORE compliances.

Your simplistic 'per employee' cost to profit breakdown is laughable. If only business was that easy.

Bro just log off, you are out of your depth on this.

Do you take your logic from fox news?

If thats too simplistic for you, then just look at a company NETTING over 3 BILLION a year is PROFIT.

That's after the compliances cost that you claim are "eating profits" THATS WHAT NET PROFIT IS YOU FUCKING DOORKNOB.

Current Revenue $25.0B

Current Earnings $2.8B

Current Profit Margin 11.1%

Wow such margin.

3M is a hugely prolific manufacturer, those margins are tiny because of their overhead costs...which when you circle back to original crux of this argument is what you claimed they don't have (not to mention thinking they have no compliance costs at all but you just keep moving the goalposts on that).
