Google cofounder Sergey Brin has urged employees, especially those in AI roles, to adopt a 60-hour workweek and to work from the office every weekday. This directive reflects the heightened competition for AI talent in Silicon Valley, prompting Brin to be more present in the office himself. He expressed concern over colleagues who work less than the suggested hours, describing their impact as demoralizing to more productive peers. Google's current policy allows for a hybrid schedule of at least three office days per week, but Brin advocates for a more intensive approach to ensure success in the tech race.
Brin emphasized that the tech industry’s fierce competition for AI talent necessitates a commitment to long hours, suggesting 60 hours weekly for optimal productivity.
He noted that working less than 60 hours can be demoralizing to productive coworkers, urging employees to give their best efforts as competition heats up.
