My company is technically 100% remote, but we do have an office that almost on one ever uses, which could not possibly fit everyone if we did want to use it, and we're geographically dispersed across the US and this office is only in one place. It's not in the same state as me.
Nonetheless, a few months ago I did request travel reimbursement for myself and a small team to work together for a week. First, because it was getting needlessly difficult to clear our schedules enough and coordinate on timing to work in an effective manner. Pure async wasn't getting it done. Second, I've been with this company for five years and I'd never actually met anyone else from the company before. It was nice to finally do so. I love remote work, but even with Internet communities, you want to sometimes have meetups once you've known each other for long enough.
If there were an office near me, I don't think I'd go in on any set schedule with a guarantee I'll be there a specific day, but I'd at least drop in sometimes, just to feel like I'm still part of the place and not purely an anonymous mercenary.
