- wolco 6y agoIs 20% a real thing anywhere, aside from select google employees?
- marcyb5st 6y agoGoogler here. Yes, in my team we have a colleague that is spending one day a week trying to solve a particular problem we have with a completely novel approach. He had an idea after we presented what we are up to in one of our Org summit. Furthermore, it is really a streamlined process, ie you only need your manager approval.
- sukilot 6y agoThat's not 20% time. That's a project for your primary work area.
- BurningFrog 6y agoWhen I was at Google (long ago), you were very welcome to do a 20% project. But it was not considered in your performance review. So you'd better do it outside of your regular job, adding up to a 120% workload.
