In responding to employee criticism of Google's new desk-sharing policy for the cloud unit, CEO Sundar Pichai reminded staffers that real estate is pricey.
defended the cloud unit's new desk-sharing policy for employees, describing some of the company's offices as practically empty and reminding staffers that real estate is pricey.
Pichai indicated that there are many people coming to the office "only two days a week," which he said makes for an inefficient use of current space. At the same all-hands meeting, Anas Osman, Google Cloud's strategy and operations vice president, said about one-third of employees were coming into the offices at least four days a week, citing data from a pilot the group conducted in regards to returning to physical locations.
"Those one-to-one desks actually were utilized roughly 35% of the time at four days or more,” Osman said. “We think this is a good balance of how to both find efficiencies and create a better experience."The data from the pilot shows that Googlers reported significantly better collaboration when they had assigned days in the office even if that was in a rotational model and a shared desk,” Osman said.
