- dtech 7y agoThere have been reports that the 20% time is being slowly taken away and more heavily policed, and that it's more 100% + 20% time nowadays.
- kettro 7y agoThis is mostly untrue (IME) - a 20% project is strongly encouraged, and is used during the performance review. Taking time off of the main projects is expected.
- colejohnson66 7y agoIs it really a side project if it’s used in your performance review?
- osipov 7y agoAt Google Cloud the 20% time is just a recruiting tactic. Once you join you'll find out that it should be on top of your existing 100% FTE.
