Have any of you thought of just going to another country for a while until COVID protocols loosen up in the US? We’re working remotely anyways...

I worked for a month from Mexico City in November. Central time zone, great weather and food, affordable. Was a great change of pace.

Technically you are not supposed to because of tax implications so you may want to check policy / seek approval (or not tell anyone)

On the down low. That said, since then they have come out with a clear policy against it. At the time I was within the margin of error to claim ignorance.

You’re kidding right? I’m in a state that’s been stricter than most and basically everything is open. I’m still going to side eye you for dining in though.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
