　　go from office work to being fully remote in the city where the office islocated从办公室工作转为在办公室所在城市完全远程办公

　　A Google spokesperson told Reuters that the company will not change an employee's pay based on them going from office work to being fully remote in the city where the office is located. For example, employees working in the New York City office will be paid the same as those working remotely from another New York City location.一名谷歌发言人对路透社表示，公司不会因为员工从办公室工作转为在办公室所在城市完全远程办公而改变他们的工资。例如，在纽约市办公室工作的员工将获得与在纽约市其他地点远程办公的员工相同的薪酬。
