Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
Google could 'save' even more by firing all its employees and selling all its assets. Expenses are there for a reason; they are investments that earn a return. If you cut the expense, merely to 'save', you are ignorant of a fundamental of business. A similar argument is made about taxes: they are described as only expenses when the issue should be discussed as investments (i.e., 'is the return high enough on this investment of our collective money?').<p>If these expenses were so obviously unproductive, Google would have cut them already.
