Several Google units have told remote employees that their jobs could be at risk if they don't start reporting to their nearest office at least three times a week, CNBC reported . Some of these employees had previously been approved to work remotely.
Google Technical Services must adopt a new hybrid work mode or receive voluntary redundancy. The unit's remote workers are being offered a one-time payment for moving expenses within 50 miles of the office.
HR employees must work in the office three days a week if they live within 50 miles of the office or their role will be eliminated. Employees who live further away can work remotely but will be ineligible for promotions.
The head of the artificial intelligence division, Sergey Brin, obliged employees to be present in the office, adding that 60 hours a week is optimal for productivity.
Two out of five IT workers quit last year because their employers demanded they return to the office and increase their working hours, according to a study by Amsterdam-based recruitment company Randstad.
