Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I've tried restarting the mac, signing out and back in, yet the Notes option appears disabled.
It was working fine until I moved last week, then when I opened the mac suddenly all my notes were gone. They're still present on my phone, so must still be in iCloud, just inaccessible from the mac.
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14
Nevermind, I just found out that in the last week my company's IT department disabled iCloud on all our macs because they want to force us to use OneNote...
So not an apple issue, or anything that can be fixed. Thanks for all your help people!

You have subtracted the iCloud account from system preferences > internet accounts , the iCloud Drive is not turned as on and notes will also not sync .
See the article https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mh35565/mac
The complete steps to set up can be explained , which Apple ID account is used is it two factor authentication or secondary authentication .

Just one mac, and I think it's just one account. The gmail email address is for my apple ID, and it's the same account I'm using on my iPhone (so far as I can tell).
I do use TFA, but no security questions, rescue address, dob, so far as I know.
I haven't deleted the account, this happened after I shut the mbp down for a week while moving states, and when I turned it back on the notes were gone.
Here's fresh screencaps that I just took from my mbp this morning, one after the other, with no changes in-between.
Open your Notes app, go into Preferences. Toward the center of the box, make sure that Enable the On My Mac account is not checkmarked. Above that where it says Default Account: -make sure it is selected to whatever your iCloud account is name, and not On My Mac.
You are posting two different screen shots in the thread ( in the first one the gmail id is signed in system preferences as -- were answering to Brian ) , now you have posted gmail account is subtracted from internet accounts , only iCloud account is visible .
Are you using two different Macs using same web iCloud account / gmail account and posting different screen shots or what , please clarify it do you use 2FA or secondary authentication ( in which three answers for security questions, rescue mail address / its password , date of birth is added and what is the version of Mac .
Did you intentionally deleted the accounts ? please post back .
Thanks Brian, when I look at that screen that checkbox is also disabled, and the default account only has one option.
This is what I have for internet accounts, if I try to add it again it just tells me that it already exists
iphone screencaps:
Notes appears disabled in iCloud, only for my mbp
