@pluralistic I've known a lot of Epic employees over the years, which ultimately means I know a ton of former Epic employees.

Their MO is to hire recent college grads who don't have other work experience and throw enough money at them that they're afraid to say no to the hours they make them work. Their software is buried under decades of technical debt and is written in languages that no one else uses anymore. Burnout is very high.

@pluralistic Oh, and let's not forget that they were really aggressive about forcing RTW on their employees while covid was still rampant. Which was a particularly bad look for a healthcare company.

@tgunter @pluralistic I went to UW-Madison and they're right there in Verona, WI so they were ever present as an employer. Can confirm they pay a lot and indoctrinate people into the Epic way of working. The project manager role that they hire a lot of people into flies out Monday and back Thursday every week to the same site as long as implementation is happening. It's brutal.
