Google’s Chief Financial Officer,
Patrick Pichette,
isn’t a fan
of the working from home movement.
Why?
As he shares
“There is something magical
about sharing meals.
There is something magical
about spending the time together,
about noodling on ideas,
about asking at the computer
‘What do you think of this?’
These are magical moments that
we think at Google
are immensely important
in the development of your company,
of your own personal development
and building much stronger communities.”
Of course,
working from home
doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
A loved one spends
at least one day a week at the office,
working the rest of the week
at home.
He has the best of both worlds.
Working from home,
like any strategy,
isn’t suitable for all careers, all businesses.
Do what is best for YOUR career/company.
