> Unless everyone in the org works the same three days a week in-office

Amazon had a culture of small teams (≤15 people) being somewhat independent. I would imagine that you don't need _the whole org_ there, you just need the whole team there.

Maybe the magic number 3 was chosen because it guarantees any pair of teams will have at least one day of the week in common, assuming the 3 days are all the same for all members of each team, but not necessarily across teams.
Yep so the decision should be decentralized to the teams and the case can be made for occasional in office days for inter team building, etc. maybe once a month for those within distance of office. Maybe a 2 days a quarter for those needing to fly in
