"Hey ulfw, would you mind coming into the office tomorrow for X? Shouldn't be an issue since you're local..."

Man, it will take about 6hrs of driving total with all the traffic from concord to menlo park, could we just do a zoom meeting instead?

The idea is to not come into work as you're WFH permanently in this setup.

Listen I am not advocating doing this. I don't even live there nor do I work at Facebook. I just feel like this is easily gameable.

WFH permanently does not mean you never visit the office. We have remote team members and they drop by the office once in a while.

I doubt most people will take the risk of gaming their employer.
