Don't know about others, but I really appreciate the way Sundar takes decisions. In his latest interview, he quoted Google is going to "Test" WFH, and see how it impacts performance & professional relationships among teammates.
Instead of blindly stating to have WFH on a permanent basis (what Twitter did!), Google is approaching this problem in a more radical way.

But there is a lot to lose for them if they announce WFH and it lowers productivity in the long term. Pulling back on the decision later is very bad PR and is potentially disruptive to employees who got used to permanent WFH and moved somewhere else.
