It's also not counting any repercussions, short or long term. I don't know Google but several other friends have told me productivity is down at their companies significantly with WFH.

Also, if it's just about the perks mentioned, those perks might be part of what retains employees.

Interesting, what position are the people in that told you this? I‘ve only heard this from middle management at my company.

Software project‘s actually have less delay than usual. Don‘t get me started on why every project is ‚late‘. We‘re not even allowed to work overtime while we‘re at home.

We do see problem‘s with new hires though. They have a harder time integrating into their team.
