That's South/Central Europe for you. Not everywhere is as evolved as Norway.

Eh, I work in Norway and while I can work remotely on request, my inquiry about doing so regularly one day a week was met with “what if shit hits the fan and we need you here urgently” from my manager (my house is a ten minute walk from the office) and “if we allow one person to work remotely, everyone will want to” from HR.
You should tell HR that would be great, one seat at the office costs a lot. They have a huge savings potential :)
Yes, but think of all the meetings you can’t have if people aren’t at the office!
