Reply to comment by Infamous_Yogurt2858 in TikTok reportedly threatened to terminate remote employees who don't live near their assigned office location by Sorin61
They definitely DON'T need you to show up to a physical site.
Unless you are demoing some sort of niche physical tech (VR/AR being a big one) or perhaps something engineering related, you really don't need to show up at an office for anything...ever.

And, when your employer disagrees with you on that (such as TikTok requiring employees to come in at least 2 days a week), sometimes you have to find another job that supports the kind of remote work you want to do.
In the end, I think the employers that support remote and hybrid work in the most flexible manner will end up better prepared to recruit and retain the best workers, but people need to be willing to get up and leave, even during a dip in the tech job market, if they are going to make sure they maintain their flexibility.

What they need from you is somewhat subjective and their prerogative as well as subject to change over time.
Perhaps I should have said require.
