Google: While big tech companies are trimming employees on one hand, Google is giving its employees a year -long salary without working. Yes, actually a unique case of Google has come up. According to reports, some engineers of Google’s AI branch Deepmind are being given salary for a full year without any work.

What is the whole matter

According to the Business Insider’s report, some old employees of Deepmind are still taking salary from the company. However, they are no longer working there. The reason for this is Noncompete Agreement. Explain that this is a rule in which the employee is prevented from working in another big company after leaving the company. Especially for a few months, those employees cannot work elsewhere.

In Deepmind, such employees have been placed on “Extended Garden Leave” i.e. they are not part of the company, yet they are also being given salary throughout the year so that they do not go to any other companies.

What is the reason for discussion

While companies like Openai, Meta, HP and Microsoft are fired on one side, on the other hand, this step of Google indicates in a different direction. A former employee of Deepmind says that “a year is a long time in the world of AI”, it means that they can leave behind technical growth during such a long break.

What is Google’s answer

Google says that its contract follows all the rules of business and the company uses noncompete clauses for its safety. However, some employees do not like these conditions. But this step of Google is definitely a matter of discussion among people.
