Have a quick talk with whoever it is you report to and confirm *that*
person is not concerned about your workload while you are at home, and
drop it. If a SME starts with it, kindly say that if they have issues,
they should speak to your manager about it and drop it.
It's their problem... not yours. Hopefully, over time, they'll respect
that you're working just as hard while at home as anyone else, but they
may never get there. In any case, making it your problem is only going
to frustrate you further.
Any time I've run into these issues, it's been with people who actually
couldn't work from home (required to be on-site to work on hardware,
etc.) or just never bothered to ask their own managers if they could
work from home, and they're mad about it.
