I am supposed to start in google nyc office next week — would it be possible to work from another country since there are covid restrictions with the office? I don’t think I’m allowed to go to the office right now. Has anyone’s managers approved this?

    The global geo-flex was ended and split-start is no longer allowed.

    I think that you are required to be in the same country/state most of the time.

    However, you can use “4 weeks work-from-anywhere” policy to work from another country. Subject to manager approval after joining.

      There might be a handful of restricted countries (and I wouldn't be surprised if China is one of them). But in general, yes, work from anywhere means any country.

    Another country? I doubt it. Another state? Possible, but you are supposed to be near your location within 90 days or something, although that could be rolled back
