Google announced an important last-minute decision that affects a lot of people, and we are talking about something that will definitely have an impact on the way the company operates, and the services it offers to its customers.
Google has decided that its employees will work remotely until the end of 2020, but also the beginning of 2021, most likely until the summer of next year, and all because of the Coronavirus pandemic, which is still affecting the world.
Google had made the decision in March to let some of its employees work from home in order not to expose them to the risks of infection, and this decision is being perpetuated now, so that the company allows employees to work remotely throughout 2020.
Google will keep employees at home until at least next July, people familiar with the matter said, making the search engine giant the first major U.S. corporation to formalize such an extended program in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Alphabet Chief Executive Sundar Pichai made the decision himself last week after debate among Google Leads, an internal group of executives he chairs, according to a person familiar with the matter. A small number of Google employees were notified later in the week, the people said. Mr. Pichai was swayed in part by sympathy for employees with families to plan for their uncertain school years that may involve home schooling, depending on geography."
