Google’s ex-CEO Eric Schmidt raises ‘China alarm’, tells American technology companies: Remember, we are …
Google’s former CEO Eric Schmidt has not been in strong favour of ‘work-from-home’ for technology companies. In a recent podcast, Schmidt, who was top boss at Google for over ten years in the early 2000s, has once again warned American tech giants on flexible remote working. This time the alarm also has ‘China warning’.
Weighing again on remote work debate, Schmidt said that he believes it is hindering US tech companies’ ability to compete with China’s demanding work culture. In an interview published on the All-In podcast, Schmidt argued that the “996” work schedule — 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week — is a key competitive advantage for Chinese companies.
