Hot take: this is kind of non-news. I had a thrilling but ultimately abortive courtship with Google last fall, and at the time, the messaging on this subject was remarkably consistent: the plan was to go to a part-time model where people would go into the office 3 days a week, and they were hoping to be executing on that plan by the 2nd quarter of 2022. So to see now that they are going to having people in the office 3 days a week in the 2nd quarter of 2022 is certainly no surprise to me. I would guess that that also means it's no surprise to any current Googlers who've been paying attention? And also that this says nothing about Google's own level of success with fully remote work, because, at least as far as I'm aware, leadership never seriously considered it as anything other than a temporary business continuity measure in order to get through the pandemic, anyway.
