Epic reviews

Very poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in ways that make it hard for me to trust what management will do in a future crisis, including but not limited to: - Being slow to initially offer work-from-home, and just as slow to offer extensions of it (often demanding employee outcry and/or bad press before they do). - Constantly pushing for a return to campus en masse. - Minimal attempts to convince us that our "culture" of in-person work is worth literally risking our health for. - Suppression of any dissent on our internal forums, such as redacting questions on our internal Stack Overflow-esque site.

Management is completely out of touch and so fixated on "culture" as to force 10,000 employees back to campus in the middle of the Pandemic in July 2020 against all health department recommendations and while percentage of positive COVID tests are spiking for absolutely no reason than to save face on a giant fancy campus sitting empty. They would rather sacrifice employee health and lives than care about us (and our loved ones who we would in turn also be risking to more exposure). See note about sick leave above and how taking sick leave is discouraged (due to policy) as a result, even if they say "please stay home if you're sick", not to mention that you are guilted for not getting the work done. They can say it all they want, but without the policies behind it to encourage it and not be guilt-tripped that your work isn't being done, people won't do it. Management has been squashing dissent by literally redacting legitimate employee questions on our internal public Q&A forum. The message has been "fall in line or get out" and don't question management's decisions, ever.
