Business Insider has verified his employment, his request to move locations, and his resignation after this request was denied. In June 2023, the company told employees that working remotely full-time would be allowed "by exception only." I essentially said I was asking to move from a fully remote location to another fully remote location to be with my dying father. I have a fully remote job, so it makes no material difference to them if I am in one remote location or another. A spokesperson for Google told Business Insider that promotions are based on impact relative to business priorities and business needs and that remote employees are promoted.
