In a recent internal message to the team working on Google's AI model Gemini, co-founder Sergey Brin emphasized the importance of increased office attendance and extended work hours. He advocated for employees to be present at least every weekday and suggested that sustaining a 60-hour workweek promotes productivity. While acknowledging the dangers of burnout at high workloads, he criticized those contributing less than necessary, pointing out that this behavior is not only unproductive but demoralizes their colleagues, thus affecting the overall team dynamic.
I recommend being in the office at least every weekday. Sixty hours a week is the best for productivity.
Some people work less than 60 hours and some don't put in more effort than they have to. The latter are not only unproductive, but can also be very demoralizing for everyone else.
