I recall back in the day when potential employees were told that traveling for business was rarely done, only to find out later they needed to be away on business several times a year. This sounds similar, other than the fact we really didn’t have remote work days as a part of our employment.
My favorite interview story from many decades ago.
On their nickel they fly me off to the corporate HQ for a final interview.
The hiring official had already told me “You are our most qualified candidate. We are going to have lunch with a couple of the senior people to make sure they are ok with your hire—and if you don’t spill food on your tie you should be good to go.”
Good news: Everybody was very friendly at lunch. I did not spill food on my tie. The body language was great and we all had a good time.
Bad news: A few days later the guy calls me and said “sorry we picked somebody else”.
Arghhhhh.
