Remove "device found moving near you" notifications for AirPods used only on work computer?

I upgraded my AirPod Pros to the newest version, and rather than discard the old pair, I connected them to my work computer (Windows 10). I have a noisy air handler right above my desk, and the noise canceling is really helpful. I now only use this set of AirPods with the work computer, and I do not want them to accidentally try to connect to my personal MacBook or iPhone when at work, so I removed them from my account. I am fine with the limitations inherent in using AirPods on a locked-down, employer-issued Windows machine - the absence of FindMy, the lack of battery level indicators, the tinny audio quality when microphone is enabled - but I *really* would like a way to completely disable the "found moving with you" notifications every time I take my work computer home for telework days. I only telework once or twice a week, and I can only pause these notifications one day at a time, so I get them on every telework day. Are there any recommended options? I do have an AppleID used only for work (we set up a developer account for one research team, I manage the account) but I don't have a work-issued Apple device to use to tie the AirPods to that account. I also am trying to avoid the manual Bluetooth pairing dance every time I need to join a virtual meeting, which is why I removed the AirPods from my own account to begin with.
