By the end of June, will masks be required for vaccinated employees in any Google offices in the San Francisco Bay Area?
A requirement instituted by Google or by a government qualifies for YES resolution. The requirement must apply to all or most vaccinated employees to resolve as YES.
Background: Currently masks are not required for vaccinated employees, but we are now seeing another large Covid surge due to BA.2, which may cause stricter public health measures to be implemented.
A temporary mask mandate also counts as YES

May 22, 10:55pm: To clarify, this resolves YES if masks are required at any point in time before the end of June, even if the requirement is later lifted.

@fortenforge Thanks for pointing this out! Confirmed with Googlers that the bay view office specifically does require masks at this time (most other offices do not): "Until at least June 15, 2022, masks will be required at all times while indoors at BV100 and BV200. "
Therefore, resolves YES.
I believe this was because there was a cluster of cases in this office, and California policy (https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/covid19faqs.html) requires masks when there is an outbreak, defined as "three or more COVID-19 cases among employees in an "exposed group" within a 14-day period"; it says
"Employers must provide and ensure use of face coverings during outbreaks and major outbreaks."
