Profit of $104.7 million a year. 5800 employees [1]. So a profit of $18k per employee.

A $40k wage gap between tech and journalism it'd be nice to close.

That's gonna be one difficult negotiation.

These are per-quarter numbers, not annual.

Ah, I must have misunderstood the rose to $104.7 million from $92.2 million a year

Even quadrupling the $18k per employee, you're still trying to get a $40k raise from an organisation with a profit of $72k per employee. That's going to be tough.

Far tougher than moving to a different job at a company with more money.
