I was interviewing for a position that they made a big deal about "100% in office". I'd be doing manufacturing R&D, which is usually conducive to a pretty nice "when we're here it's an intense 14hr day(s) executing a run, the trade off is when we're planning we do it from home in pajamas". I was disappointed they weren't open to that. It was a start-up using toll manufacturing which means a small team planning runs, and usually a sparsely populated, poorly provisioned office. Get to last round of interviews with the CEO, the day before the interview I'm told "<Mr.Smith> will be joining remotely". I canceled and withdrew my application.

I'm at a job now that's also not remote, but its 24/7/365 so, you know, it makes sense lol.
