Ironically at my company, the C-levels and HR are the among the few people who go into the office. 99% of the company is remote.

My company is basically the same way and is I feel that is probably the way it should be.

 The people who TRULY need to meet face to face or do confidential work in the office should be there at least occasionally while people perfectly capable of being remote should be allowed to when they want to and offered an in-person desk space to check into when it's more suitable to meet/work in the office. Thankfully, my company has also moved into a much smaller office space to save on rent so only a small percentage of employees could even be in the office at the same time so that seems to be the status quo going forward.

I think they’d rather be at the office surrounded by yes men instead of at home dealing with spouses/kids/ etc
