Most of my company is remote... our office is in Dallas...
However my team has people in Kentucky, Georgia, California, Washington, Mexico, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Colorado and of course Texas. We have 1 co-worker who decided to live out of an RV and is literally in a different state every other week it seems. About once every 2 months we are all asked to come into the office, they will fly everyone in... I have no problem working from the office, I've been to the office once this week and a couple of times last week and will be in a couple more times next week.

However there are others here in the Dallas area that throw a gigantic fit about coming into the office, even for 3 days every other month. I have 1 co-worker who could walk to the office in 30 minutes and she is one of the most difficult to get into the office. When I have been able to get her into the office, she will stay for 2 hours and then make up some stupid excuse why she has to go home. And then last year she was asking how she could get promoted to a lead position or a senior position, and I told her what would it take to get that promotion and her response was, "Oh I don't want to do all of that".

The company I work for is extremely flexible with remote vs in office, but the remote work is easily being abused.
