If going back to the office was controversial it will be interesting to see how well this goes over. Does Google really draw a line in the sand over this... https://t.co/ciVcB1lOAz

It's just strange to see older tech companies like Google and Apple, which have always prided themselves as forward-thinking problem solvers, admit that they don't know how to do this even in the face of thousands of other, smaller companies figuring it out.

This article is mostly about google's vaccine mandate but I think the weird thing is that google couldn't figure out remote work even though they build their own suite of tools to do so. https://t.co/vnbriWqYIe

Paid leave for a month?! Shucks, it always pays to be inconsiderate. https://t.co/MtcmQtOHBI

Google has announced employees who aren’t vaccinated by Jan. 18 would be put on paid leave for 30 days, following that unpaid personal leave for up to six months. Employees who still refused to be vaccinated would then be terminated.

Even if WFH?!? ? https://t.co/iPhsMaGR7t

Various Googlers are informing me that this article is incorrect but also various Googlers are telling me it's correct so I am shrugmoji on whether Google is or isn't allowing people to work remotely if they want to. https://t.co/L60AviFhra

Employees who don't comply with the rules will first get placed on 30-day paid leave, followed by up to 6 months of unpaid leave and, eventually, termination. https://t.co/9ZQLWtxauT

Remember that email chain of ~600 Google employees (~0.4% out of 150,000 employees) petitioning the company to retract its COVID-19 vaccine mandate? Google's response: get vaxxed or get fired. https://t.co/BeJOGZ3U15

I'm vaccinated (and most adults probably should be), but I'm grateful I wasn't coerced into that decision by having my only source of income under threat.

If you hate this, the solution is self-employment. https://t.co/p9zpnUDRH2

This is interesting. Google has told employees they'll lose pay and eventually be fired if they don't follow vaccination rules. The fact that Google is doing this means other companies probably will as well https://t.co/iRw3FUyzvt

Stop procrastinating and just fire the unvaccinated.

Most states allow employers to do so without cause. It’s really that easy.https://t.co/UZmCjudfhu

Welp, we’re talking about employees of the most powerful, manipulative, unethical pos diabolical company in the world. Fuck ‘em and their doodles too https://t.co/OBrpdjG2wr

Going on ⁦@CNBCTechCheck⁩ at 8:40 PT to discuss my report on Google execs telling employees they’ll lose pay and eventually employment if they don't comply with Covid-19 vax policies. https://t.co/9ZQLWtfz6j

If you're an engineer at @Google interested in crypto and want an employer that won't mandate your health care, hit me up to come join @BitGo. Remote work ok!https://t.co/zi4ay4Blt0

No jab, no job: Google will fire unvaccinated employees https://t.co/mKXuIq7vX9

Google puts its foot down, requires vaccinations for employees. “Frequent testing is not a valid alternative to vaccination.” https://t.co/Ce5yktcmB3

https://t.co/c32jM3P55R Google will fire unvaccinated employees.
Get the jab to get the job! I assume there will be some new positions free next year.

Hey @Microsoft - can we please go next?

Kudos to @Google for doing the right thing for employee and public safety. https://t.co/rbCo6m6wqB
