I: How do you give a hint to them when they are at home?
H: By asking them, are you sure you are working from home today?
I: What did they say?
H: They said yes.
I: Do you think they get the hint?
H: I'm not sure.
I: Why don't you tell them straight?
H: I’m not comfortable telling it straight.

When communication is too subtle, nuanced or layered, it will bring nothing but confusion.
