$1.75T / 25,000 employees = $70M/employee. That's pretty impressive. You would think even the lowest paid employees performing routine labor at the company would be pulling in multiple 6-figure salaries. I wonder if that's the case?

Very scary. Even European funds are gonna be affected if they invest into an index.
