I work at a FAANG. They’re OK with you working from home 1-2 days/week to run errands, etc, but not OK with 100% WFH except rare exceptions (usually people who have been at the company a while before moving). That may be what OP means. I’ll be curious to see if fully remote becomes more of a possibility based on how the next few months go.

I had another team where 11am standup meetings were held everyday, and this was mostly for the benefit of the people manage who was very technically disinterested in what’s going on but wanted to enforce “coherence”, needless to say WFH was impossible. In another team, manager wasn’t comfortable allowing WFH because “it would create inequality between engineers” i.e he was just afraid of making a judgement call. Finally, had a team where manager would WFH 1-3 times a week himself and was actually the best manager of all in terms of being on top of things. The sentiment that this is heavily dependent on manager competence is correct IMHO.
