Google cancels April Fools’ Day, again
not participating in an April Fools Day prank — for the second year in a row.In a leaked internal memo, Google’s Marvin Chow, vice president of global marketing, told employees in March that they would “pause the jokes” out of respect for those who have suffered through the COVID-19 pandemic during this past year. Google also passed-up the tradition in 2020, as the coronavirus outbreak took hold globally.“Throughout the past year, I have been so inspired by how helpful our products, programs and people have been during humanity’s toughest times,” said Chow in an email obtained by Insider.
