Especially when you work in a communal office and you the parent work as a call centre agent meaning you are supposed to be on the phone for the whole 8 hour shift?
I am covering the call centre managers shift as well as trying to do my own job today because of the strike.
And I know it's bloody hard trying to arrange childcare when you are a working parent.
I've had to do it myself today.
But 9-5 in a call centre with 10 other people and a 4 year old is surely never going to work.
The little boy is adorable. But he's 4. And obviously 4 year olds are loud and get bored easily and need to be taken to the toilet quickly by someone, needs to be taken to the kitchen to get a drink.
Everyone else is complaining to me, I don't normally work in this part of the office so I don't know who agreed to this but.... It's not going well.
I don't want to offend her at all because I know that she had no other option but I am thinking of letting her go home now and authorize pher wages so she gets paid for the last 2 hours.
If I suggest that will she think I'm a cold hearted bitch who hates children?
It's just getting a bit unbearable now tbh.

AIBU?
To think that, no, bringing your 4 year old in to work with you all day is really not a good idea?
