Might be missing something here but it sounds like all you need to do is multiple select the contexts you want (i.e. excluding @Work) in the Filter pane and save the view. You multiple select by holding down the Control key. Make sure the "operations" display shows the red OR. Saved views will retain your multiple selection.
