Sergey Brin recommended that employees working on Gemini should be in the office at least every weekday, promoting a 60-hour workweek as the ideal for productivity. He conveyed urgency regarding the competition to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI). Brin cautioned against working beyond 60 hours to avoid burnout while criticizing those who contribute less than 60 hours. Despite his memo, Google maintains its policy requiring employees to work at least three days in the office, while some teams may face stricter in-office requirements.
"A number of folks work less than 60 hours and a small number put in the bare minimum to get by. This last group is not only unproductive but also can be highly demoralizing to everyone else."
"Competition has accelerated immensely and the final race to AGI is afoot. I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts."
