I don't think this is a reality we disagree on... companies accept it too, but still keep hiring those 8 to 10 folks. But those 1 or 2 usually get special treatment of some sort. The 8 or 10 are disposable commodities.

OK, but still I think the logistics of "everyone comes to the office except for Dan who can WFH because he's just really good at getting things to work" is probably kind of a hard policy to implement.

It is not when you look back and realize Dan has been WFH whenever he wants all this time, even before the whole Covid thing

Is it really that unusual? Even in the pre covid days, all the places I've worked had someone working remotely because of some reason or another, but the general policy was that everyone had to come in all or most days.

The WFH became almost a perk, like if you work hard enough and prove yourself, maybe we'd consider it.
