Google's Remote Work Crackdown Sparks Union Backlash and Office Attendance Pressure.

TL;DR Summary
Google's parent company, Alphabet, is facing pushback from its workers' union after announcing that office attendance will be a part of performance reviews for those who work from home more than they should. The Alphabet Workers Union argues that the company's teams are distributed across multiple locations, and there may not be anyone to collaborate with in physical office locations. Google is the latest company to tighten its policies on working from home, following similar moves by companies like Disney, Starbucks, and News Corporation.
