Google is once again postponing a return to the office for most workers until mid-January, in addition to requiring all employees to be vaccinated once its sprawling campuses are fully reopened. This is the second time in little over a month that Google has delayed return plans - the last time was in late July, when it also announced its vaccine mandate. Over the summer, Apple and Google announced 'hybrid' work plans that would force all employees to return to the office for at least part of the work week, drawing ire from their employees. Apple still plans to have employees come to the office three days a week, but the original return date of September has been delayed until 2022. The iPhone maker also told staff it would confirm the re-opening timeline one month before employees are required to return to the office.
