work-to-rule

A type of labor action, somewhere between normal working conditions and a strike, where workers will do only what the collective bargaining agreement requires them to do, and nothing more, such as refusing to work overtime. It is a pressure tactic, designed to get an employer back to the bargaining table to hammer out a new contract acceptable to the employees. Also known as quiet quitting.

work from anywhere

Work from anywhere describes work being done remotely, instead of at an office. The acronym “WFA” is used as a nickname for the concept. Many organizations transitioned their employees from the office to a work from anywhere model after the Coronavirus global pandemic. It is the successor to the well known WFH.
All our staff are work from anywhere at the moment.

You need to step out of the shadows and remind people who you are and what you are capable of. Having taken a back seat for so long you may now be a bit of an unknown quantity, which can be made to work in your favor.
