do they have any idea what the employees of epic get put through due to her dumbass billionaire whims? "judy" (all the epic employees call her judy) read an article about how employees that have shorter commutes are happier, which means that employees going to work at the (genuinely deranged, absolutely absurd) epic headquarters have to live within a certain radius of it. this shuts off living in half of the nearest large city. does your friend know that judy and her practices drive almost all epic employees to eventually quit? their turnover is insane. fuck epic, fuck judy.

Sorry, do you mean Madison or Milwaukee? All of Madison is within range and none of Milwaukee is. It absolutely sucks that she moved HQ even beyond Madison's boring and sleepy west side where there was plenty of room. It doubly sucks that she was sending 20%+ of her employees on flights every Monday pre-covid and thought putting up some solar panels would make a dent in the environmental impact of that.

i'm talking about madison. epic employees aren't allowed to live on the east side of the city past a certain point.

Huh, wonder if they changed that. I thought they had people coming in from Sun Prairie back in the day.

i can't speak on much about the history in general. i've just known many employees there over the last decade.
