News India Live, Digital Desk:Technology sector giant Google has ordered some of its employees to be present in the office at least three days a week, otherwise they will be fired. This decision has come at a time when technology companies are investing heavy in artificial intelligence (AI) and adopting cost cut strategy.
Change in policy of working from home
According to a recent report, Google has asked employees working from home in some of their departments to adopt hybrid work models. Under this, if the employees live in the adjacent area of the office, then they are mandatory to come to office three days a week. Employees who were earlier allowed to work from home have also been asked to follow this new rule. Employees who do not follow the order may be in danger.
Why this decision?
The main reason behind this move of Google is the company’s growing ambitions and reduced costs in the field of AI. After a large -scale trimming in 2023, Google has opted for the target employee trimmed in specific teams. This decision shows Google’s severity of AI-related goals, which requires sufficient money and talent.
Google clarification
Google spokesperson Courtney Mansini said that this decision is not for the entire company, but has been implemented for specific teams. He said, “To solve our innovation and complex problems, collective work is important. To support it, we have asked remote employees living close to the office to come to office three days a week.”
Office transfer option
The notice sent to the employees of Google’s technology service team said that they will have to be present in the office at least three days a week under the hybrid model. In addition, a lump sum package is being offered to transfer employees working from home to 50 miles of office. If employees do not follow these conditions, they will be given the option to take a voluntary exhaust package.
There has been no official response from Google.
Google has not yet issued any official statement on the matter. However, this decision has intensified the debate on Google’s work culture and cost cut strategy. It is believed that the growing competition between technology companies and the need for new talents in the AI era has promoted such decisions.
