Ok... but you’re still literally asking your boss “will I be fired”. Not exactly a great negotiating posture! Not a great position to be in overall.

Instead, if you’re good enough, find somewhere where this isn’t an issue. That way you can work however is best for you without literally asking your boss if you’re going to be fired. Sheesh.

If there are places that are amenable to what you want, quit wasting your time going against the grain and just move on. Even if you got them to agree, it will constantly be an issue. They will always act like they’re doing you a favor and continually remind how weird it is that you work remote.

Just leave all this behind, it isn’t worth it. There are places where they just don’t care about this, it just won’t be an issue.
