Congrats in the impending Corgi pup and I bet the excitement of it all is building up.
Leaving a young pup alone for hours daily is NOT a good idea at all. Pups want to toilet, eat and have lots of attention and company (when awake). Leaving an older pup alone daily for hours is also not a good idea. Leaving an older Corgi alone daily for hours is not ideal.
The alternatives are: wait until one of you may be in a position to stay at home or call on home during the day, hire help/get a neighbour/friend/ relative to help. Helping is to call at your home and feed the pup and play with the pup and take a suitably capable pup for a walk. A young pup needs three or idealy four divided meals a day. An alternative to this (when applicable) is a dog day care/kindergarten facility if you can afford it.
