Google’s new return-to-office mandate is giving sleepless nights to the employees. The search giant had asked its employees to return to the office at least three days a week. Employees have reported that ever since they have joined the office, they have received a deluge of notifications from the COVID-19 infection management team. The employees are becoming concerned for their health after seeing the rising number of covid 19 cases at the workplace.
In a conversation with CNBC, some of the company’s employees revealed that ever since they started working from the office again, they are receiving notifications of infections in their email inboxes regularly. Frustrated from the ongoing conditions, employees are pouring out their anger and memes.
Significantly, Google reviewed its work-from-office policy in April and made it mandatory for its employees to be present in the office at least three days a week. However, employees have been resistant to the new guidelines as they have been working productively from home and even made the tech giant observe its highest revenue growth in 15 years.
Although Google has also offered the option of permanent work from home, it’s unknown how many requests for the same have been approved.
