The title and article feel slightly misleading.

It is allowing some offices to have people who want to come back early, come back.

It is sticking by its commitment of allowing WFH until September and looking at hybrid models for after.

Personally, a hybrid model seems ideal to me. I dislike remote full time.



A hybrid model with a maximum of 14 days a year is not a hybrid model at all.

That’s the real news for me. After the pandemic is over Google will go back to a full-onsite team.


My understanding is that's not the case, that the 14 day limit (which I haven't heard about, actually) is for only WFH full time over an extended period.


That’s certainly possible, but not what the article writes:

> for a maximum of 14 days remote per year

I don’t know how to make ‘14 days in a row’ out of that :)


The article is poorly researched and is not explaining the 14 day thing correctly. I'm sure that the actual email will be leaked at some point but since it is listed as internal only, just know that it isn't what is described in the article.


I don't know where this 14 days came from. I don't think I'm leaking anything serious by saying: I didn't see it in the internal comms.
