I work for local government and we were recently ordered to return to office because leadership was concerned we would look “lazy” to the public if we were allowed to work from home… I don’t work directly with the public in any shape or form. On top of that I’m geographically located about 1.5 hours from the rest of my team so I report to a different office than they do, so we still meet on Teams.
As someone with small kids, this would be my preferred way of working. Even with a dedicated room I can’t help myself losing focus and entering magic adventures with unicorns and building equipment.
I’m in a similar spot, my closest teammates are about 80 miles away and everything is over teams. My only solace is the fact no one works in my building so it’s really quiet (almost too quiet at times).

Incredible. You are going to meet “on line” but you can’t do it from your home.

How are we ‘the public’ going to see what you are doing in your home?

Edit: Solice and solace are different words
