Abstract	To cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, between March 2020 and December 2021 universities in Germany adopted regulatory frameworks which required working in a home office or in a hybrid mode. These regulations created both new opportunities and challenges for academic work-life balance. Drawing on the notion of academia and family as "greedy institutions", this research note serves as an attempt to understand the linkages between the whole range of regulatory developments and the experience of home office among early-career academics at one university in North Rhine-Westphalia. The pandemic rules and regulations had some detrimental effects in mitigating the greedy institutions of academia and family, albeit meant to protect from health threats. Here, especially the intersectionality effects are relevant, since the intersection of early career, being female, having children and working in the home office made a difference for work-life balance in the pandemic times.
