Welcome back

Google employees in the Bay Area and at other locations will begin to make a hybrid return to the office the week of April 4, according to a memo sent to employees.

“It’s been a long and challenging two years since the vast majority of our people started working from home,” John Casey, who serves as Google’s vice president of global benefits, said in an email to employees, according to CNBC.

“But the advances in prevention and treatment, the steady decline in cases that we continue to see, and the improved safety measures we have implemented across our Bay Area sites now mean we can officially begin the transition to the hybrid work week,” Casey added.
