You might be right for the smaller company where physical access to the machines in the data center is necessary at a certain point in the troubleshooting process. I work at such a place myself. I would guess, however, that Google moved beyond that quite some time ago. It's simply not practical, with or without having offices with people in them.

- herodoturtle 6y agoAgreed. And I'd hope that their plan B of "get the whole team on Hangouts" isn't met with connection / auth issues. Kinda feel bad for the googlers. Hope they get this right.
