Google made vaccination a condition for workers returning to the office

Only employees vaccinated against the coronavirus will be able to work in Google offices. This was announced today by the head of the corporation Sundar Pichai.

All employees who go to work in the company's offices, first in the US and then around the world, are required to be vaccinated. The exception will affect only people with confirmed contraindications.

Voluntary work from home extended until October 18 - Pichai acknowledged that "many employees are concerned about local outbreaks due to the delta variant of the coronavirus" and are afraid to work from the office. The date is subject to change, which will be announced no later than 30 days in advance.

The delta option has delayed the return to office work of many companies, but so far Google is the largest one to require mandatory vaccination, The Wall Street Journal notes , not least because such a requirement in the US could lead to lawsuits. Similar demands have been put forward by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, the federal authorities do not exclude the mandatory vaccination of all federal employees.
