[quote]A memo explaining the policy change, from the company’s human resources department, says face-to-face interaction among employees fosters a more collaborative culture — a hallmark of Google’s approach to its business.[/quote][/quote]

this is called PR, pp.[/quote]

PR professional here... this "leaked" memo was just to save face and justify the move. Make no mistake: it is about laying people off without actually having to lay them off for all of the obvious reasons. [/quote]

this.

however, i think it is 60% what you said, and 40% what MM says regarding innovation.

There is a reason why google turned the googleplex into a corp campus that is part college campus part self contained town part amusement park. Free high quality food all times of the day, all kinds of services on campus like dry cleaning, laundry, gyms, pet-sitting, day care, video game pits, etc. etc.

Places like google and facebook offer these perks on campus so employees are there 'all the time' in contact and collaborating with each other, generating new ideas and innovation.

Now, older employees, will not be swayed by this because they want their family time, but in the valley you are ancient when you are above the age of 35. [/quote]
