Google delays employees' return to office

Alphabet Inc's Google will allow its employees to work from home until September next year, extending the return to the office by a few months, the New York Times reported on Monday.

The company was also testing the idea of a "flexible workweek" once it is safe to return to the office, Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai told the company's staff in an email on Sunday, according to the report.

If its working, why not make the new normal working from home?

As part of the plan, Google's employees would be expected to work at least three days a week in the office while working from home the other days, the newspaper report said.

That sounds ok.

It will be an interesting contortion filled all-employee email when it come telling everyone that while 2020 has seen great (er) productivity while being remote, we really need to utilize these big buildings we have so back to the commute for you plebs.
