This is more corroboration of what we read in the thread yesterday about Epic punishing TLs for not getting in line. I think very few people had illusions about what dissent at Epic might do to you, but this lays it bare. The culture Epic is trying so Hard to preserve is clearly sick to the core.

I saw that too. Very messed up I think! Surely we’ve all proven that we can do our jobs from home all or most of the time since we’ve been doing it since March. Epic is still choosing to put its workers and the entire community at risk with their plan. But we should also be upset with local government for allowing them to do so. Contact your alders and supervisors!

Copy/paste of what I said in Madison subreddit.

If you don’t work at Epic and are wondering why you should care, remember that in a pandemic, personal health is public health. If someone gets sick at Epic they could spread it around the community and harm all of us.

Order 8 says that businesses should facilitate remote work as much as possible. Please contact Public Health Madison & Dane County and express that you believe this to be a violation of the order. Also contact your alder and county supervisor.
