if you got staffed onto a project with someone you strongly, strongly dislike (re: you were staffed together before and they never did any work, skated by, the rest of your team picked up the slack etc) how would you handle this? we’re peers so it’s not like i am managing him but i cannot stand working with him. he literally sucks

Be professional, CYA, document everything, delegate either via email directly or follow-up with email, find ways to make them be accountable for their work if they're trying to delegate to you, don't be afraid to say "no", do your work to a higher standard to build your brand, don't openly mock them but give credit sparingly, occasionally challenge the quality of their work, remember it's a competition for promotion at the end of the day.

Look for growth opportunities for you to learn and grow to be able to step up to the next grade, don't focus on them or it'll hold you back.

Nah, most companies don’t mind employees hooking up but don’t want to deal with potential fallout if things go sour so will put them on separate projects if it’s disclosed.

Hook up with another team member and tell HR so you get pulled from the case

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.
