Google: "Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning"
Would you be open to living at company accommodation at a special rate?
As many people make their way back to their pre-pandemic office patterns, it becomes more apparent that life is returning to usual.
But - yes, there is always a but - it seems that many workers have been dragging their feet.
We cannot say we blame them, there is a certain level of comfort and ease that comes with working from home. Of course, not everyone feels that way.
But it seems that Google is having issues with getting their employees back to the office swiftly.
Many companies have transitioned since the pandemic, allowing their employees to have a balanced work routine.
Which is why they have evolved into hybrid working hours, but it seems this too is proving difficult.
"Google is hoping to lure workers back to the office with a new on-site hotel special, but some workers aren’t convinced it’s a good deal." (CNBC)
Employees are being offered Summer Special prices at the on-campus hotel in Mountain View for $99 a night, which is R1,830.00.
The special is said to run till the end of September this year and aims to make life easier for Google employees during their transition into the hybrid-style workplace.
Employees would have to use their own personal money to pay for the special, but the perks are said to be worth it, according to the ad.

“Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” the description reads. “Next, you could walk out of your room and quickly grab a delicious breakfast or get a workout in before work starts." (CNBC)
We have known the brand to be one that takes their employees' needs and wants into regard.
It does sound like a good deal, but we guess that employees are reluctant because they have to pay for this 'special' that is closer to work and essentially a way to lure them into being closer to work.
Would you pay to have accommodation closer to work?
