At a recent town hall, Google employees raised concerns about the company's hybrid work policy, especially in light of Amazon's return to a full-time office mandate.
The most-asked question was whether Google would continue its three-day-a-week office policy. Executives, including VP John Casey, reaffirmed their commitment to hybrid work, balancing flexibility and productivity.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized maintaining high productivity from home to preserve this flexibility. However, some teams, like hardware, work four days in the office, and Google has tightened compliance, issuing reminders to employees missing the required in-office days.
