前谷歌CEO埃里克·施密特在斯坦福大学的一次公开课上，批评了谷歌的散漫工作制度，认为这种制度导致了谷歌在人工智能领域落后于竞争对手，特别是初创公司OpenAI。施密特提到，谷歌的员工每周只需在办公室工作一天，这种宽松的工作制度可能影响了公司的竞争力。然而，这一言论引起了广泛争议，不到24小时就被迫道歉并删除了相关的视频。
施密特的言论引发了关于工作文化和效率的讨论。一些网友认为，如果员工追求的是事业而非仅仅工作，就应该在办公室工作。但也有人反对，指出在家工作同样可以提高效率。还有网友持旁观态度，有人甚至开玩笑说谷歌的员工可能每周都不去办公室。
与此形成鲜明对比的是OpenAI的工作文化，据称其员工工作非常努力，甚至有员工透露在OpenAI的工作强度类似于中国的“996”工作制。这些员工自愿加班，不惧怕任何从零开始的项目，他们的这种工作态度被一些人视为成功的关键。
然而，施密特的言论引起了轩然大波，他在道歉信中表示，关于谷歌的工作时间安排，他表达有误，并对自己的错误表示遗憾。谷歌方面也强调了混合工作制度的好处，并指出自疫情以来，谷歌和OpenAI都实施了类似的返岗政策，要求员工每周至少三天到办公室工作。
这一事件再次引发了关于科技公司工作文化、效率和竞争力的讨论。尽管施密特的言论引发了争议，但谷歌和OpenAI的工作模式展示了不同公司对于工作文化的不同选择，而哪种模式更有效，仍然是一个有待观察的问题。

Title: “Former Google CEO Criticizes Loose Work Culture: Google Lags AI Startups After One Day a Week in Office”
Keywords: Google, Work-Life Balance, Competition
News Content:
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt criticized the company’s loose work culture during a public lecture at Stanford University, claiming that it has led Google to fall behind competitors, particularly in the artificial intelligence sector, especially against startups like OpenAI. Schmidt noted that Google employees are only required to work one day a week in the office, which he believes has affected the company’s competitiveness. However, his remarks sparked widespread controversy and within 24 hours, he was forced to issue an apology and delete the related video.
Schmidt’s comments sparked a discussion on workplace culture and efficiency. Some netizens believe that if employees are pursuing careers rather than just work, they should be in the office. However, others argue that working from home can also boost efficiency. Some observers took a neutral stance, with some even joking that Google employees might not go to the office every week.
In stark contrast to Google’s work culture, OpenAI is said to have a very hardworking ethos, with employees even admitting that the workload at OpenAI is similar to the Chinese “996” work regime. These employees are willing to work overtime and are not afraid of any project that starts from scratch, and their work attitude is seen by some as a key to success.
However, Schmidt’s comments caused a stir. In his apology letter, he expressed regret for his misstatement regarding Google’s work schedule and apologized for his mistake. Google also emphasized the benefits of a hybrid work model, noting that since the pandemic, both Google and OpenAI have implemented similar return-to-office policies, requiring employees to work in the office at least three days a week.
This incident has once again sparked a debate on the work culture, efficiency, and competitiveness of tech companies. Although Schmidt’s remarks sparked controversy, Google and OpenAI’s work models demonstrate different approaches to workplace culture, and which model is more effective remains to be seen.
