Google StratOps culture
Hi :) How well do Google &StrategyOps Leaders take care of people? Interested in the real life applications one dreads having to face in a new job given lack of relationships upfront, i.e., my child has covid/in hospital, or kids school is remote for 4 wks so now I need to “juggle” life + work. IMO…LOAs, FMLA, etc don’t apply when your new. Wanting to feel safe making a move. How have you seen these situations handled for coworkers?Google

Google as a whole is flexible and helpful for their employees. We have something called Carers leave during the pandemic, anything from “my daycare shut down” to “my parent is in the hospital”. It’s currently set to end in February but it keeps getting extended so who knows. Even pre pandemic, there was a lot of flexibility and support for life-related-needs.
This is Google wide, not specific to S&O roles.

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭
