So vaccine holdouts get the benefit of remote work while those who are trying to do right by society have to suffer in the office?
This policy makes total sense (/s).
(I support vaccinations but I foresee this feeling really odd for people)
- giantg2 5y agoWhere does it say that? I didn't see it mandating that people come back in, but maybe that's some background info not covered in the article.
- dragonwriter 5y agoThe article indicated the existing general remote work option is extended to 10/18 and that remote work by permission based on conditions will be available after. If one assumes that Google cannot compel vaccination as a condition of employment (may be true of COVID vaccines in some jurisdictions), this would imply that “not vaccinated” will be a sufficient condition, in those cases, for remote work permission.
- giantg2 5y ago"and that remote work by permission based on conditions will be available after." Ah, I missed that part.
- chimera77 5y agoI'm not a Google employee, but my understanding of their policy is very few people will get approved for fully remote work. Everyone else will need a vaccine.
- jobigoud 5y agoCan they prove/know that you're vaccinated? One could get the vaccine but claim not to the employer, getting both benefits.
