Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes (techcrunch.com)

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

How do you work the office only having space for 20% of employees? Makes a lot of sense but would be annoying to hot desk. My office only has us in two days a week but has not cut down on the number of desks at all, giving up the potential savings.

You book a desk in an online tool a week in advance or so. Not sure I get the question. Maybe it's 30% I made that number up.

I think you got it and effectively answered it, thanks.

If the company grows they don't need to have desks for every new person, so they won't run out of space as quickly, saving the cost of relocating to a bigger office for further down the road.
