It’s not practical in an open office with everything standardised. Sure in an Home Office you can do pretty much what you want if you have enough space.
You can at least position the laptop closer than the monitor, which gives you two focal planes. In an open office, there should be many "distant" objects to use as a temporary third focal plane.
I brought my own clamp-on monitor arms to the open office I work in and installed them myself without asking anyone. You might be able to get away with the same.
