I'm in the same boat. Our CEO was an extreme opponent to wfh before the pandemic. You could get wfh on a day-to-day base, but only if you could provide good reasons for that. During the pandemic, we all proved that wfh works. Hell, some of my coworkers and I opened up a discord, were we are more or less in voice chat the whole time. It's like working in the office, but without many of the downsides. Being challenged, CEO decided to give everyone 12 wfh days per year. After asking why exactly "12", he argued that this were the average days people requested in the last 2 years before pandemic. That's just ridiculous. Yet, I'm still at the company, because I don't think that now is a good time to look for a new job without substantial savings. But alea iacta est, I guess. Also, it doesn't make sense to negotiate in private, even if I managed to get something negotiated: We are working in a team, and the team needs to be able to handle somebody who is working remotely. It's pretty hard to not let people behind if you aren't trained at wfh.
