Out-of-Touch COVID Response - Operations Analyst DISH Employee Review

DISH's COVID-19 response has been very telling about who they are and what they value. The first week they were allowed to bring back employees, they pounced. They put in place certain guidelines, one of which is requiring employees to answer a set of questions about whether they are experiencing symptoms or not. If an employee answers truthfully and self-reports themselves as experiencing certain symptoms, they are told they are too sick to enter the building but because it hasn't been shown they contracted COVID, they must take a day of PTO. While most companies are concerned about their employees well-being, DISH is only concerned about your time they paid for. Even though they put in place arrows on the wall, automatic doors on the bathrooms and closed down every other desk, it’s all for not when you discourage your employees from self-reporting and encourage them to bring their virus to your front door!
