BACK IN MAY I mentioned that Google would bear watching, because it seemed like they might be losing some of what made them special as a company. So it was interesting that I ran across a Quartz article which discussed the death of Google’s “20% time” policy.
You may not be aware of this, but it was a HUGE DEAL in the high tech industry. It was astounding that a company would give every employee 20% of their work time to pursue unrelated opportunities.
When I started at HP back in 1978, there were some philosophies which were similar to this, including the concept of the “G-job” as a sanctioned means of working on unassigned projects.
But 20% of your time, a full day every week? That’s outrageous!
