Hey Googlers! Just wanted to make a PSA- there is no longer an official boomerang policy at G. I left back I November to establish a new BU at another FAANG (which was halted due to Covid), and even though I have EE+ and a promo, I still have to go to the back of the line like everyone else. It also doesn’t help that I gather most hiring is frozen for non-Eng.

Working during COVID has completely removed the boundary between work and life. Being remote full time there’s no longer a notion of leaving the office or leaving the client site. And with restaurants and bars closed, people know you aren’t busy doing social things. The need to be logged on constantly has been far more pronounced for me and my firm since COVID. Anyone else feel the same way?
