Google will keep "nearly all" of its workforce—around 200,000 employees and contractors—working from home for another year, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly made the decision last week.

The long timeline gives more certainty for Googlers who are making school and housing decisions for the coming academic year. Previously Google workers were due back in the office in January.

  The horniness will build up and they will switch to sexting and online gaslighting each other. The men will expose their full nudity on Google Hangouts and the women will cancel the men for not giving them enough attention.

  Ah yes, when a woman choosing to NOT look at your genitalia makes you a victim of cancel culture.
