When I was at GE we straight up ignored the division CTO and just worked from home when we felt like it...a whole org team under him (he specifically banned WFH more than 1 day a week, most of us worked at least two or three). We scheduled meetings in rooms at the office and came in on those days when we felt the need. It worked fine.

Most companies I have been at just ignored the CEOs stupid out-of-touch WFH proclaimations. This was tech though. The other departments usually obeyed on a case by case basis.

I do think there are a fair number of people looking for more than come into the office for meetings now and then though. There’s also the fact that you still need to live in some semblance of commuting distance. That says 1.5 to 2 hours one way is doable for a day a week and gives you quite a bit of flexibility.
