Google is Inviting Employees to Sleep on Campus for $99 per Night
Google is inviting its employees to sleep on campus for $99 per night in an effort to lure them back to the office. The company is offering discounted rates at its on-campus hotel in Mountain View, California, as part of a “Summer Special” promotion.
The hotel, which is called the Bay View, has 250 rooms and is located just steps from Google’s headquarters. It offers a variety of amenities, including a fitness center, a pool, and a business center.
Google says that the discounted rates are designed to make it easier for employees to transition to a hybrid work schedule. The company hopes that by offering employees the option to sleep on campus, they will be more likely to come into the office for meetings and other work-related activities.
The “Summer Special” promotion is available from now until September 30. Employees who are interested in staying at the Bay View can book their rooms through Google’s internal travel portal.
The move by Google to offer discounted rates for on-campus hotel rooms is just one of the many ways that companies are trying to lure employees back to the office. Other companies, such as Twitter and Meta, have also offered perks such as free food and transportation to try to entice employees to return to the office.
It remains to be seen whether Google’s strategy will be successful. However, the company is clearly willing to make a significant investment in order to get its employees back into the office.
Here are some additional details about the offer:
- The offer is only available to Google employees.
- The rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The offer is valid for stays of up to two weeks.
- There are a limited number of rooms available, so employees are encouraged to book their rooms early.
