Google is continuing to restrict remote work as more American and tech companies push in-office mandates and less remote flexibility.

This time, the company is updating its Covid-era ‘Work from Anywhere’ policy, which allows employees to work remotely from any location away from their main office for up to four weeks per calendar year. Now Google will count even one WFA work day as a full week, according to an internal document obtained by CNBC on Wednesday.
