That said, where I work, our policy explicitly forbids us from taking care of people at home during our work day...

Hmmm. How...would they know?

Also, I think there's a question about the legality of your employer trying to enforce what you do in your own home, workday or not.

They won't unless you tell them really, I think they're just loading up a bunch of unappetizing restrictions on WFH in hopes people will just give up and come back into the office

Why they care so much is beyond me, though, with the kind of employer it is, but someone in the higher chain of command seems to be allergic to WFH, always has been resistant to allowing it
