Run it by your supervisor. When I worked as a developer at Amazon, pre-pandemic, I worked from home whenever I wanted, which was mostly one or two days a week. If your manager won't let you flex, consider switching teams.
The director told my manager that I could ignore it, then the director was made to move out of the house he just built!
Be wary of who and what you trust. There are proper remote gigs, don't risk it IMO.
edit: To be clear, this wasn't at Amazon or even part of FAANG. I took my own advice and went elsewhere, seeing the writing on the wall.
