They got a portion of it. That is what their wage is. They then got even more of it when the company provided them with very generous bonuses. The rest of it should be going to shareholders, as it is a public company.
I rather disagree with your assumption that the employees are the only ones generating that profit. Executives also helped. The billions of dollars stockholders invested in them also helped. Government subsidies also helped.
Get rid of all of the above, and you would just have 45,000 unemployed people who never had a job in the first place.
It isn't like we are talking about people being paid $10/hour with no benefits for factory work here. We are talking $63/hr (which is over $120k/year) including benefits. I work for a profitable company too, yet I still think I'm well compensated despite making substantially less than that.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
