The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work. Many people (myself included) now prefer to work from home, where they can enjoy peace and quiet and avoid the daily commute. Google employees are no exception. However, Google seems to be uncomfortable with this situation. The company is working on a set of measures to discourage working from home, much to the employees’ frustration. Here are the details…
Google Employees: “We’re Not Your Children, Let Us Work From Home”
Working at Google is a dream job for many people. The company offers high salaries, a great work environment, and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology. However, Google employees have been unhappy lately with a new policy that requires them to be in the office at least three days a week. The policy, which was announced in March, has been met with widespread disapproval from employees, who say it is unnecessary and disruptive.
One of the main concerns that employees have is that the policy will make it difficult for them to balance their work and personal lives. Many employees have relocated to different cities or states since the start of the pandemic, and they say that it would be difficult or impossible for them to commute to the office three days a week.That’s pretty reasonable considering the rental rates in Silicon Valley.
Another concern is that the policy will damage the company’s culture. Google is known for its collaborative and innovative culture, and employees say that the new policy will make it harder for them to work together and share ideas. In response to the backlash, Google has said that it is willing to make some exceptions to the policy.
or example, employees who have a medical condition or who live far from the office may be able to work remotely full-time. However, the company has said that it is still committed to having a majority of its employees in the office. It remains to be seen whether Google’s new policy will be successful or not.
