When I've been told by recruiters that I have to be on site, I try to
get them to understand that for Systems Programming, there is almost no
good reason to ever be on site.
I also tell them that if the boss really wants to see my ugly face and
that I'm not goofing off, I will start a Skype (or equivalent) call at
08:00 and leave it on the whole day.

35 years ago, I started teaching Dept of Energy sysprogs that with
proper communications, there were only three things we could not do.
1) mount / unmount tapes on tape drives
2) tear paper off the printer
3) press the power button
When we finally got rid of the Mainframe last August, there were no
tapes or printers. (Yeah I went into the machine room to press the
power button). But it took management's disease paranoia to get them
past their need to see me touching a keyboard to believe I was really
working.
