Last office job (Southbank, London) I had colleagues who lived in (amongst other places) Cornwall, Coventry and Brussels.
Most just did their 2 days/week in the office staying with mates or a cheap hotel.
Another colleague would do a two week routine of Thu/Fri+weekend+Mon/Tue to get their mandatory 2 days/week in.
Most of the time the people we/they worked with weren't in the office for the same days, or they weren't even based in the same office/country/continent.
I loved my two days a week in the office as the 8 mile run/cycle commute was great for my fitness, plus I played 5-a-side one evening close to work so it made sense.
A spare set of wheels with spiked tyres meant I could cycle commute even in the coldest/snowiest/frozenest weather.
Now I'm fully remote I miss my commute and doing a fake commute just doesn't have the same motivation.
