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.
Has anyone received band progression mail ?

Today I asked if there were any policies that specifically stated I couldn’t drink while working from home - it’s been a long day - no one could find one so… maybe tomorrow is the day!
They don't know what's in that coffee cup!
I've been to work, still tripping from an edible I took on a Sunday afternoon, but never did that again because the guilt was too much to walk around with. I prefer being sober and focused at work.
I can relate to that. I actually went to a basketball practice in high school under the influence. Never did it again.

Back in the late 90s, I was a network engineer. I got paged out for an outage. I was at a happy hour, so I got a ride back to the office and fixed the outage half lit.
Hahaha that's funny. Maybe you were getting pranked.

That's a dangerous prank. Colleague of mine who was new to a location in the company asked someone, "Are you drunk or something?" as a joke. Turns out the person was recovering and everyone but she knew it. She got written up.
Maybe they were talking to their computer. There are definitely days when I think mine's out of its right mind!
Oooh, yeah, I definitely showed up to formation still drunk one morning. I think the SGTs were trying to be mad about it but they couldn’t stop laughing.
As for civilian jobs? Newspaper? Yes. Most companies though - no. Any gov’t position absolutely not - my last county position they fired two different people for showing up tanked after liquid lunches.
