Not true. The policy was that you could work from home at manager's discretion, but full time work-from-home-employees were sort of rare.

Plus, they are ditching that as we speak.

In the early 2000s IBM asked a lot of people to go full-time WFH so that they could lower their real-estate footprint and consolidate offices.
