Then the money Google saves on HVAC, restrooms, facilities, support staff and office space should be going directly into the pockets of the employees that convert to fulltime remote, right?

That's Google's model?! I can live 10 minutes away from the office or 1 hour away by train, I still live in the same city.
If I move my apartment 50 minutes closer to the office, I'm still going to the same office, but my rent will go up. I should get more compensation right? My compensation is based on what I'm expected to spend by location.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoConversely, I can also live 10 minutes away but in a different city. Think LA. Funny, but off-topic story relating to this: I once had my debit card shut off because I tripped a fraud alert by being in 5 different cities on the same day. This was in LA, and I really was in 5 different cities that day, but I probably didn't drive 50 miles.
- bbarnett 5y agoTo be fair, they probably figured it was impossible, due to LA traffic.
