Search engine outfit Google has reversed its decision on working from home and wants its employees back in the office to listen to its managers in long pointless meetings about moving cheese, kicking the ball running, and leveraging things,
Google was one of the first large tech companies to allow its employees to voluntarily work from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now it wants its employees to return to the office at least part-time.
Google updated its hybrid work policy by requiring most employees to physically come to the company’s offices at least three days a week and it will be tracking attendance via office badges, and including office attendance as part of its employee reviews.
As part of its updated hybrid work policy, Google is also requesting those employees who previously had approval to work from home to reconsider coming to the office on a hybrid work schedule to be “better connected to the Google community.”
Employees who were pre-approved to work from home full time may find that approval rescinded.
