1.2% pay raise could wipe out 100% of the profits depending on the profit margins the company is operating.

Values from the article:

> net profit of more than 6.3bn Danish kronor ($954m) for the first half of 2021 – an increase of 140% on the same period in 2020.

> 20,000 employees

  salary * 20000 * 0.012 = $954m
  => salary = $3,975,000
I strongly suspect the average wage at Lego is NOT approaching $4M/yr.

Raises are nice, profit sharing is better.
