Re: A Hybrid Approach to Work
#3That meeting room looks super uncomfortable and awkward. Why can’t they just use some simple criteria for coming back to work: if you have two vaccine shots + time for second shot you can come in to work (unless you have a medical/religious reason not to).
Also, if everyone is vaccines can we do away with mask requirements?

#4This is because more than 20% of googles workforce said that they'd quit if they made them come back to office. It's a kind of compromise

#5This is really stupid. Most people do not need to be in an office to get work done. Google, and all these other tech companies, made record profits this year.
I just don't get why they insist on keeping people in a seat? At least for google, offering all these on-site only perks is just a scheme to keep employees at work for as long as possible.

Aside from jobs that actually need to be done in person, I think it really comes down to leadership egos. Probably just feels good to walk by a sea of minions on your way to the corner office.

From my understanding, yes as soon as positive tests in the country (or some wide area you're likely to mingle with) are near zero. Until then, there is the risk of someone (not yet vaccinated) who carries the virus developing a mutation that can then try itself on the immune system of a vaccinated person (you). It'll spread if it's resistent, so we should avoid such contracts. As soon as we don't have it roaming around, I think we can do away with these precautions indeed.

#10It will be interesting to see the impact of this on the broader tech community.
