Google and Facebook mandate vaccines for employees at U.S. offices

Google has 130,000 employees. I've got ~10 reports and not all of them are coming back to in-person work. If 10% of the company doesn't want to get vaccinated, there is a reasonable chance that none of those people end up on my team.

The point is that the presence of unvaccinated people is going to cause stress and problems for other people who are less productive and happy at home and want to return to the office but feel unsafe doing so knowing that they would be sharing space with unvaccinated people.

How about "If you aren't vaccinated we're not going to fire you, but you can't work in the office"

Everyone wins, no intrusion into people's personal choices about what to put in their bodies.

This appears to be the policy. Googlers can apply for permanent remote work as well as temporary extensions of up to a year beyond the main RTO date.
