The directive comes as Brin warned that &#8220;competition has accelerated immensely and the final race to A.G.I. is afoot,&#8221; referring to artificial general intelligence, when machines match or surpass human intelligence. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts,&#8221; Brin wrote in the Wednesday evening memo. The guidance does not alter Google&#8217;s official policy requiring employees to work in-office three days weekly. Brin, who returned to Google following ChatGPT&#8217;s 2022 launch, also criticized staff who &#8220;put in the bare minimum,&#8221; calling them &#8220;highly demoralizing to everyone else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative;\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Google's+Sergey+Brin+Urges+Workers+To+the+Office+at+Least+Every+Weekday%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F28%2F1845202%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/twitter_icon_large-343.png\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F28%2F1845202%2Fgoogles-sergey-brin-urges-workers-to-the-office-at-least-every-weekday%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/facebook_icon_large-258.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.slashdot.org\/story\/25\/02\/28\/1845202\/googles-sergey-brin-urges-workers-to-the-office-at-least-every-weekday?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/slashdot.org\/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=23623679&amp;smallembed=1\" style=\"height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google co-founder Sergey Brin has urged employees working on the company&#8217;s Gemini AI products to be in the office &#8220;at least every weekday&#8221; [non-paywalled source] and suggested &#8220;60 hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity,&#8221; according to an &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/?p=1235940\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101,44,110],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1235940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-slashdot","category-technology","category-unfiltered-rss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1235940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1235940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1235940\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1235940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1235940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1235940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
