I wonder if the eventual result of all this work from home debate will be that it's something that's earned after a period of time. e.g. 1 day a week after 6 months of employment, 2 from 1 year, etc.

That actually makes perfect sense to me from a practical perspective.

It doesn't make sense because the biggest advantage to WFH is that people can live in a lower cost of living city (and companies can hire the best talent globally). Forcing people into the office even once a month means you're tied to the real estate market next to the office.
Gradual phase-in makes sense to me, too, but who's going to be in the office to mentor those folks?
More likely based on level than tenure
