Satisfied about limiting the French company putting damper on WFH (13)

I believe the answer is:
telecommuting
'satisfied about limiting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a present participle verb which matches the answer.
'the french company putting damper on wfh' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'company' could be 'com' (as in .com) and 'com' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
