Google to hand $1600 bonus to employees worldwide
Everyone at Google, including interns and members are eligible for the bonus and the report says it will be distributed at the end of the year.
The search-engine giant has delayed its return to the office for now over concerns about the omicron variant and mandatory vaccinations. Otherwise, Google workers were expected to return to their workplaces on January 10th.
Google has rolled out a new set of pandemic measures. This comes in addition to the company’s work-from-home allowance and wellness bonus according to the report.
With the coronavirus pandemic, Big Tech companies and corporations in other industries have initiated programs and initiatives to improve employee well-being and support their employees during the pandemic.
