[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. i just wanted a meeting without baby crying in the back. she had to stop/mute at times when it got really bad. i thought it's not too much to ask.[/quote]

You have no idea the pressure women feel. Crying literally is anxiety inducing for some because it is their child crying. Could be colic, could be sick, could have a new nanny they don't feel comfortable with and yet there she is on a conference call.

She's in a no win situation if she says look I really need to get a handle on what's going on at home can we pause the call and collect back together in 10 minutes she'll be judged for that. 
And if she continues and somebody complains about the baby crying in the background
. And if she doesn't come into work instead of working from home and logging in people will be like oh she isn't committed. 
And then if she doesn't have enough sick leave left she'll be unpaid or have to come in sick and people will be like oh my God why since she does take off.

So honestly.  .....? [/quote]
