That's a great solution, and I think too companies realize that by people working remotely, they are sacrificing 100% total productivity. Another thing that I did was explain my situation to management to transfer me to a new thing and explain the isolation that I was feeling. It also does not help that when I was working remotely, I was expected to work the standard work day hours. The problem with that was that you do not get the benifits of doing a hobby spontaneously because you are expected to be on call or available at those hours.
