    Look, talking about which lady you'd put it in is employee bonding.

    Bringing a brat to work is just disruptive.

    Well it's not so much shooting the shit that's the problem

    But yeah if a dude was bringing his kid to work it would be just as fucking annoying

    It's not a matter of gender here

    Showing the baby to colleagues who are also friends they haven't had a chance to catch up with? Maybe they brought the kid in because they're touching base with the boss and didn't want the hassle of hiring a babysitter for a couple of hours? Getting its blood tested at the lab you work in to make sure it's not a changeling child?

    All valid reasons.

    Yeah thats exactly what I said thanks Cat, glad to see you aren't putting words in my mouth...

    Seriously...nothing in the original quote that implies only women bring their kids into work to show off, just that it happened to be a woman this time. Still...a wonderful attempt to try and apply a charge of sexism where it really isn't needed.

    Generally, its dislike for anything that gets a large group of people to sit around and not work. Especially in my department which is a call center, so a bunch of people loudly talking and not answering calls adds to frustration because I'm doing more work, and it contributes to more noise which makes it difficult to do the work I'm gettting.

    Do this on your own private time.

    And you have texting or telephone if you need to speak to the boss.

    All of those can be done outside of the work environment. The sad thing is it also violates many company policies, as well as sometimes local employment and safety regulations, but never gets enforced.


    Every payday at Comcast you'd have people bringing in their 10 kids to go running around the call center while they shot the shit with random employees for 20 minutes. That used to be so annoying. Its difficult enough to hear people on the phone without a child yelling.
