That’s not the same thing as remote. I’m fully aware of their proposed hybrid work setup. But the main reasons people want remote is to
1. Freedom to choose where to live
2. Reduce/eliminate commute time
3. Avoid in person interactions due to being extremely introverted, or certain medical conditions, or just because.
The hybrid in the office 3 days a week does not fix any of those three things. You’re still forced to live near your office, you’re still forced to commute, and you’re still forced to interact in person.

This is not going to happen, outside of a proper full-remote position, and those are still going to be much harder to come by (though there will be more of them than now, to be sure). Most companies are still going to require you to live within the vicinity of an office, for lots of reasons; not having to manage multiple states in which they employ people, the ability to have someone come in for a meeting, etc. 2. Your commute time is reduced by not having to commute twice a week. 3. This is a question for HR, and they will likely make accommodations for whatever your needs are. The point is that those things haven't changed; companies are likely to offer more flexibility about WFH days, but it is going to be rare, at least for the short-term, for companies to go full remote. Expecting anything else is just a setup for disappointment, imho.
