Comment Comment by unsupp0rted The other day I phoned a service provider and the lady’s kid was babbling in the background and a children’s show was playing throughout the call.I couldn’t get off the phone fast enough.Either invest in voice isolation or don’t work from home.Functionally this lady brought her kid to my home office and blasted a cartoon during our meeting.Is this harsh of me and an unpopular opinion? Yes.I agree that Human beings should be able to have work-life balance and kids are a natural and necessary part of that balance.I just don’t want them in my ear.If the lady had had gangster rap music or 8-bit video game music on in the background of the call I’d have been equally annoyed.Work calls are for doing work. parent unsupp0rted 2 years ago
