How to work from home when boss wants in office ?

For some context I worked for a fully in person office, after covid we moved to two days in person. I am not trying to come off as a complainer, but I’m going to rant. So many people I know in much higher up jobs are fully remote and I don’t see a reason why we must go into the office. Occasionally there are things that need to be mailed and yes that makes sense but the need for twice a week is only there because my manager likes going in every day.

For some context I worked for a fully in person office, after covid we moved to two days in person. I am not trying to come off as a complainer, but I’m going to rant. So many people I know in much higher up jobs are fully remote and I don’t see a reason why we must go into the office. Occasionally there are things that need to be mailed and yes that makes sense but the need for twice a week is only there because my manager likes going in every day. What really bugs me is that the rules don’t apply to everyone. One girl completely stopped coming in. Another girl literally never came in again because of “covid fear” and another got to move to a completely different city. However, the people still stuck in the office are forced to come in. I’ve been slowly reducing my time to once a week but I feel it may be causing some tension. I also was passed up for a promotion, so I’m a bit resentful as is and wish I could just disappear and only work from home. Do you have any advice for how to transition to more WFH? Or will that just piss off my boss? This may be unrelated but my boss is older and wants to retire in a few years anyways so why she cares about this is beyond my comprehension.
