The new campus only seats a small portion of their Bay Area employees, so a large percentage of the employees are dialing in to meetings anyway.
This is what I don't get about the demand for in office. Many of us are already effectively remote anyways for our teams. Most of my team is in a city three hours away. Actually, with the latest departure, all of my team except my manager is in another city.
So I will be going into the office to be on Google Meet.
Glad to hear that situations like my own are not uncommon. Most of the people I work with before Covid I have never met in person.
