Someone is in control of the hardware and it's configuration that feeds the Ethernet outlet in your office. You need to address this question to that someone.
Sorry, it is my home office.

You are going to have to describe/communicate all of the pieces to your local network. Start with the modem/ONT that is your connection to the internet and work towards the router, switches, computers, and other connected devices. It really helps for you to use brand names and model numbers for each piece.
- Calix Gigaspire Modem/Router to
Netgear GS108 unmanaged Switch.
Devices connected directly to RJ45 Jack in home office works great but if connected jack to switch there is no connection.

I am not at all familiar with the Calix series of devices. Recommend you look into the user configuration to see if a setting is preventing assignment of IP addresses through your switch.
Do you know who initially setup the Calix modem/router?
Is your internet service delivered over coax, fiber, something else?
