Charge ahead and just do a great job the way you normally do.[/b]

(I would not usually advise this about being new to cultures in norms in a job/neighborhood/school etc., but in this case they are all clearly conditioned away from work life balance and that is a stupid norm)[/quote]

How badly does OP need the job?   OP, are you in any kind of probationary period since it's a new department/job?

If OP is just working for "pin money" and to fill the time, then sure-"charge ahead" and phone in those meetings from home while everyone else is in the office.   
But I doubt that's the case.
Two weeks isn't enough time to have shown them you are a good worker, even if the work is done at home.   All they will see is that just a few weeks into the job and you're already trying to make special exceptions for yourself.  [/quote]

See, I see OP as being pretty secure [b]after they invested all that time to hire her, [/b]esp. if she is a good performer as she said. If that's true, I think there's a good chance that they will adapt. [/quote]

Where do you see that they "invested all that time to hire her?"   I don't see where OP mentioned how long the hiring process was.
I don't know what kind of work/company the OP works for.   I know in my spouse's line of work, if you transfer to a different department, you start a new probationary period (2 years.)  Of course there are other organizations/lines of work that are not like that, but that's why one of my first questions was to ask if she was under any kind of probationary period.

Also, just as a fellow driver, rider, or pedestrian on the roads-I'd prefer if people not  conduct important and distracting business while driving.  But I'm sure OP is not the only one.[/quote]
