I'd start applying elsewhere from now then if I worked for them. fukk that.This is why it's always important to keep your skill set up to date and have options.
I guess these companies don't really give a shyt about "climate change" like they pretend either. Sounds more like control issues if anything. FOH.

Google and Amazon shun remote working and tell staff to get back in the office
Google has told staff they must get formal permission to work remotely for more than 14 days a year after the pandemic ends if they want to work internationally, in a sign that major employers are losing faith in the policy.
The internet titan has asked US workers to consider voluntarily returning to the office within weeks. Its 4,400 staff in London will be expected to do the same depending on how Government restrictions are lifted and other cities will follow depending on local laws.
Google now wants its 200,000 global employees back at their desks for an initial minimum of three days a week by September 1, meaning some employees would have been working from home for almost 18 months. In future they will have to apply if they want to work remotely for more than 14 days a year. This would apply to employees who have relocated to different countries or states in the US.
The company was one of the first firms to send staff home when the crisis hit last year, part of a wave of tech companies that were quick to abandon offices.
In an email to workers, head of people operations Fiona Cicconi said that “the thought of returning to the office might inspire different emotions” and that workspaces "won't look exactly the way you remember them" but meals and snacks will be provided where possible".
Staff's dogs - which the company insists on calling “Dooglers” - will also be welcomed back.
The move comes after Google's finance chief Ruth Porat said in November that the company had no plans to open the offices sooner than June because “working from home is working”. She added: "There is a productivity lift from not needing to come into the office".
Google is advising employees to get vaccinated, but said this will not be mandatory.
It comes amid growing debate in big business about whether the traditional office is still needed after millions of people worked from their spare rooms and studies without major disruption.
Earlier this week PwC told staff they will be free to split their time between work and home in future, and major banks such as Lloyds and HSBC have slashed office space in anticipation of long-term changes.
On the other side of the argument, Goldman Sachs boss David Solomon earlier this year dismissed home working as an "aberration" and said he wants staff back in.
Amazon, another of the world’s largest employers, told its white collar workers this week that they will be back at their desks after the summer, having said they can work from home until July.
A memo shared with workers said: “Our plan is to return to an office-centric culture as our baseline. We believe it enables us to invent, collaborate, and learn together most effectively.”
Other technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter said earlier in the pandemic that employees can work from home indefinitely, and that they did not expect more than half of the workforce to come into an office everyday.
Rental prices in San Francisco - home to many large technology companies which have championed remote working - plummeted roughly 24pc last year. A flurry of younger workers left the city for cheaper, or more exotic places from where they could use a laptop to work.
See this is that bullshyt I'm talkin bout,
These upper management and VP types have this complex where they need to obsessively nut-hug and micromanage everyone to the point of killing morale, Mainly to justify why there position still exists and to protect their own ego. MFers cant stand not to be fukking with people and funking up the flow of the work environment with their overbearing personalities and unnecessary babysitting.
But to make it more personal, they want people to potentially risk their lives by working in crowded spaces. MF is dying out here because of this shyt. My cousin and all her kids caught it, My pops caught it. Co-workers have died and my wife has lost 8 of her co-workers because of COVID RECENTLY.
This shyt aint over yet. and these reckless, tone-deaf ass companies are willing to bury their heads in the sand and sacrifice their employees for the sake of tradition and and the opinion of some washed up, out of touch executive?
MFers better smarten up and value themselves and not just go along with shyt just because. shyt is just as real as it was last year. Take this shyt serious.
fukk all those FAANG companies off rip anyway. They have the worst work cultures regardless.
Nikkas just mad they're well designed trendy, minimalist designed interiors and fooseball tables are collecting dust. fukk al of them.
like bruh I can see the flight info, you aint gotta lie to kick it. They bushed your ass too
