The weird thing here is I imagine the number of people who can't do their job effectively from home at a Google office is super low. Asking people to stay home likely wouldn't even significantly impact business.
- lastres0rt 7y agoThe Google employees that do their work over VPN can probably work from home. Foodservice, janitors, and security, OTOH...
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoTrue, though if you close the office and let people work from home who can do their work from home, you also don't actually need the work from food service, janitors, security, etc. You just lock the doors and tell them to stay home. (I'd say in this case Google should still ensure those people get paid, though I guess that's not a guarantee considering how they treat TVCs.)
