Kontras
Management is entirely out of touch with reality and believes that employees are mindless drones. Employees are humans, but Epic has abandoned treating us like people. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic Epic has pushed relentlessly for employees to take on needless risk for the sake of workplace culture. There has been strong pressure to stop remote work from the day it began citing the importance of workplace culture and gaslighting employees into believing that we are "heroes helping heroes". After all, if docs and nurses are on the front lines risking their lives why shouldn't we?? Epic has, since the beginning of remote work in March, set a series of deadlines for returning to campus. These deadlines have been torturously extended each time with two weeks notice. The stress and anxiety this causes employees cannot be understated. I know of no fewer than twelve coworkers who have begun therapy since quarantine began - all citing Epic's treatment of them as a major contributing factor.
