So your boss isn’t sure you’ll be productive while working at home. Perhaps, they should consider Linus Torvalds.

Torvalds admits that when he started, “I worried about missing human interaction — not just talking to people in the office and hallways, but going out to lunch etc. It turns out I never really missed it.”
