[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow OP is whining more the babies. Stop being a prick OP. Some people have kids. If not, go to the office if you’re that bothered. Geez what a loser. [/quote]

People had kids before the pandemic too but somehow managed to have decorum while working.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

I had friends who worked remotely pre-pandemic and had childcare in their house and their kids would regularly be audible on their work calls and people either didn't care at all, thought it was sweet, or didn't voice their anger about it.

What changed is remote work. People hear more of what is going on in your home when you work remotely. People I talk to on the phone know there's an elementary school across the street from me if they call during post-lunch recess. The school also has afternoon band practice, which you can regularly hear on the phone with me, and there is a fire station about a block away and that's audible too.

And yet no one is screaming about how DARE I work from home when there are things in my environment that make sometimes distracting noises on work calls. But a baby in the background freaks people out. Why is that?[/quote]
