Great to work for.... until the pandemic showed their true colors. Stay away. - Accountant Staypineapple Employee Review

…. until the coronavirus pandemic. As of today (3/27), with Washington's Stay At Home order in effect, Pineapple is refusing to let employees work remotely. They claim that their IT infrastructure can't handle it, but after laying off most of the company this wasn't true (a coworker had talked to IT). We even offered to rotate as a compromise, some of us working from home and some of us on site. The executives would not budge an inch. The day after Inslee put the state on lockdown, no work got done. Employees were sobbing, thinking about walking out, planning to take paid time off.... it was a nightmare. We heard an executive screaming "GET THE [profanity] OUT OF MY OFFICE" to a coworker. And still, the company refused to let anybody work from home, despite workers with high risk factor pre-existing conditions. The company literally told us that if we wanted to work from home, we would need to take paid time off. When we tried to take a personal unpaid leave of absence, we were told we would not have a job to come back to. I confronted an executive on the ethics of this policy, and after being yelled at for a few minutes, I was fired for "insubordination". During this whole crisis, the company president, Michelle Barnett, posted anti-science articles about the virus in the company's internal facebook page. I asked a coworker with high-risk pre-existing conditions if they talked to HR about working from home, they said they didn't bother because they knew the answer. I was then informed that over the last 2 years, the HR department has turned over TWICE. Also they don't have a 401k plan or HSA.
