Kontras
- Lack of humanity I have been continually disappointed in the lack of humanity shown to employees. There is little to no regard for any personal problem or situation a normal person might encounter over their lifetime. Have a problem? You're likely to just get fired or have the euphemistic "do you fit at Epic?" conversation. The COVID-19 response is the icing on the cake. Employees are required to return to work during a deadly pandemic when almost everyone can work at home. People who don't want to risk death (either themselves or their loved ones) for Epic are "not a good fit." - Management by fear The underlying implication to every failure no matter how slight is that it takes you one step further toward being fired. And lord help you if you push for real changes or provide critical feedback. - Lots of managers, few leaders We've got lots of overly detail-oriented micro-managers but few leaders. By leaders, I mean people who you follow out of respect and not fear. - Shiny but hollow benefits The benefits listed in the pros section are valuable but what people want and need are things like flexibility, consideration, dignity and a work-life balance. Those are not available in general; individual managers vary.
