Google workers probably do have other options. Maybe not as financially lucritive but they should be able to find work.

I have had people threaten to quit as we transition back to the office. These are tier 1 support people. I dont expect Ill have any no-call no-shows monday though.

We also have people that have straight up MOVED to other cities (or in one case, refused to move to our city despite it being a condition of employment).

I'm curious how those will play out.
