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.

If I was one of those Google employees, it would take me a hot second to move my family out of the Bay Area and to a part of the country with lower costs of living. Why wouldn't you? It's not like anybody's going to the theater or sporting events anyway.

No, I'd look for a different job that allows working from home. As a Google employee, that shouldn't be too hard.
