Come to office or leave: Google gets tough on work-from-office policy, starts offering voluntary exits
Google has taken a tougher approach towards remote work in the US, asking more employees to return to the office or opt for a voluntary exit package. The company has rolled out a new return-to-office (RTO) rule for teams working in key areas like Core, Marketing, Research, Knowledge & Information (K&I), and Communications. The K&I group includes employees involved in major products such as Google Search, commerce and part of this move, employees who have been working remotely but live within 50 miles of a Google office are being told to switch to a hybrid schedule. This means they must start coming to the office at least three days a week. While Google had already introduced a hybrid work policy in 2022, this new step expands its reach and makes the expectation go along with this, the company is offering a voluntary exit programme to certain US-based employees, according to the internal memo accessed by Business Insider. Those who choose to leave will get a severance package. A spokesperson for Google said this option is being provided to help the company focus on the work ahead, and it's already been tried in other teams with positive The memo, which is shared by a top Google executive, explained that the company is in the middle of an important change, especially with the rise of AI. To keep up with the pace of change, Google wants its teams to be more connected and collaborative, something it believes happens better with in-person voluntary exit is also being positioned as a chance for people who feel less connected to the company's goals to step away, while creating room for others to grow within the organisation. Google has clarified that this is not a round of layoffs, but a way to bring more focus and energy to important the announcement has raised some concerns. In the past, Google has followed similar exit offers with job cuts. In 2023, the company let go of around 12,000 employees globally, and this year too, it carried out smaller rounds of layoffs in teams like Treasury and Business it is not clear how many people will be impacted this time, the message is clear. Google wants more of its staff back in office, and those who are not willing may have the option to walk away.

Gold Rate Today: Yellow metal rises to Rs 97,200/10g as US-China trade uncertainty boosts demand
Gold prices rose on Wednesday amid lingering uncertainty over the finalisation of a U.S.-China trade agreement, prompting safe-haven buying ahead of key U.S. inflation data. At 10:50 am, August gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange ( MCX ) were trading at Rs 97,208 per 10 grams, up Rs 306 from the previous close. In contrast, July silver futures edged down by Rs 28 or 0.03% to Rs 1,06,721 per kg. In the global market, spot gold gained 0.5% to $3,339.60 an ounce (as of 0350 GMT), while U.S. gold futures also rose 0.5% to $3,361.20. U.S. and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to revive their trade truce and lift China's export restrictions on rare earths. However, there was little indication of a long-term resolution to the trade dispute. After two days of talks in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the framework would be presented to President Donald Trump for approval, with the Chinese delegation also seeking a nod from President Xi Jinping . "Gold prices remain volatile as investors await a clearer resolution from the ongoing US-China trade negotiations taking place in London. A favorable outcome of the US-China trade talks is likely to drive gold prices down. Attention is also turning to inflation data set to be released over the next three days in both India and the UK. Additionally, Thursday's auction of long-term Treasury bonds may offer further guidance on price movements," said Aksha Kamboj, VP, India Bullion and Jewellers Association and Executive Chairperson, Aspect Global Ventures. The two countries had previously imposed tit-for-tat tariffs in April, escalating trade tensions. Talks in Geneva last month led to a rollback of some tariffs from triple-digit levels. Meanwhile, the World Bank lowered its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage points to 2.3%, citing trade tensions and uncertainty as major headwinds. Investors are now awaiting the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report, due at 1230 GMT, for more clarity on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Most economists expect the Fed to hold interest rates steady for the next couple of months, with inflation risks still in focus. Elsewhere, spot silver was unchanged at $36.56 per ounce, platinum also steadied at $1,222.14, while palladium was up 0.6% to $1,066.19. "Gold has support at $3300-3275 while resistance is at $3345-3360. Silver has support at $36.20-35.90 while resistance is at $36.75-36.95. In INR, gold has support at Rs96,620-96,290 while resistance at Rs97,350-97,640. Silver has support at Rs105,859-105,050 while resistance is at Rs1,07,750-1,08,650," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.
