Your Resignation is Accepted

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that more than 230 Spectrum employees have tested positive for Covid-19 since the pandemic hit the United States.

The New York Times reported that the staff had fallen ill at a time when some rank-and-file workers and managers have questioned how many Spectrum employees must work in offices and call centers.

Last month, the Denver Post did a story about Nick Wheeler, a systems engineer, blasted out an email to his boss and other team members at Charter Communications. The subject line read: “Coronavirus – Why are we still in the office?” Wheeler wanted to know why the telecommunications giant continued to force thousands of employees across the country to come into the office as the novel coronavirus had become a pandemic.

Shortly after the email, Wheeler was called into a meeting with his boss and human resources. He was told his email incited fear. It was inappropriate, his tone disrespectful. In the heat of the moment, Wheeler offered his resignation. His boss told him to cool off, think about it over the weekend. But as soon as the engineer got home, he received a call telling him his resignation had been accepted.

Wow! It sounds like a great place to work.
