You can. Most orgs have a very flexible approach to full time remote positions.

  I ghosted the last Google recruiter I talked to because they wouldn't say "full-time remote" and spent a good amount of time qualifying it.

  This is, in my experience, not true. "Most" is a very strong qualifier here.

    Where I sit in Core, every single remote application was approved. There are a few orgs that banning it (GBO famously) and Cloud had to be pushed pretty hard but the process seems to be fairly easy in many places in the company. Given that it is usually easy to transfer within the company, it isn’t hard to find a team that will support fully remote status.

  I spoke to an acquaintance at Google last week and they said they have to report to office at least 3 days in a week. Having said that - and I support working fully remote - I don't see how that's a solution to this problem. As others have said, if the company is lacking direction, it has to come from higher management. It can come from engineers or middle-management as well, but you'd be lucky if that happens.

    That is the default status, but people can apply for a full time remote status and a large amount of the company supports this.
