Intel ordered to pay chip fab worker almost $1m after he was gassed in 2016

Completely apart from whether they did the right thing before the accident, I was boggled by the disconnect in the language used by Intel, even though I know it's just standard corporate speak on autopilot:

"Intel has a well-known safety culture and the safety and well-being of our workforce is our top priority...We are disappointed in this decision"

How can the last sentence coexist with the first sentence? I mean, they don't have to fight over a few hundred thousand if they want to leave the impression they care about health and safety at all. Negligence is one thing; the response to mistakes is another.

And no, they don't owe it to the stockholders.

That’s exactly what WC covers.
