Seems odd to have the juniors and poor performers sit around in an office together while everyone else is at home

There are other people who prefer to be an office that the juniors and poor performers can learn from...

The large majority of SWEs didn't apply for remote work.

Imo SWEs aren't on top of things like applying for remote work, and most who will, will do it on the last day they can

I find it very hard to believe that in the next month like half of the company is going to apply for remote positions. We didn't see this happen the last time we were within 30 days of a planned return (on Jan 3).

I wouldn't accuse Google of having an effective management culture.

They tend to promote from within and along the engineering track, which results in engineers reasoning from "What would I (a high-performing engineer) do?" and not necessarily what's best for the team.
