"According to internal documents viewed by CNBC, working remotely for even a single day will now count for a full week. "Whether you log 1 WFA day or 5 WFA days in a given standard work week, 1 WFA week will be deducted from your WFA weekly balance," according to a document that was circulated over the summer, shortly before the change went into effect."
"WFA days are distinct from that policy, giving staffers the flexibility to work remotely, but not at home. "WFA weeks cannot be used to work from home or nearby," the document says. Google didn't immediately respond to request for comment. Tech companies are increasingly forcing employees to spend more time in the office, with the peak of Covid now about five years in the past."
Google revised its Work From Anywhere policy so any WFA day counts as a full WFA week, reducing remote-location flexibility previously set at up to four weeks per year. The corporate hybrid schedule remains unchanged, with two work-from-home days per week retained. WFA days are distinct from the hybrid policy and cannot be used to work from home or nearby. The company circulated documents explaining the change before implementation. Other major tech firms are increasing in-office expectations, with Microsoft moving to three days and Amazon requiring five. Google has offered voluntary buyouts and warned some remote workers their roles could face layoffs without a return to hybrid schedules.
