Unfortunately we cannot say about user login/logout - I have my laptop
and it is only hibernated or sleeping. 
I thought rather about:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
systemctl --user start work-at-home.target
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which runs vpn, mounts network discs etc.
Is it possible?
