Oh, I fucking hate that shit. If it can't shut the fuck up, leave it at home.

Call HR. Anonymously if you can, because otherwise she and her friends are going to bitch up a shitstorm at you.

The problem here is that it just isn't this particular one. It seems just about every woman here does it so it is probably more or less acceptable. Grrrrrr.

I don't want to be "that" guy, but I might put something in the suggestion box. I don't know why women think it is OK for them to go on maternity leave, have a baby, and then bring the kid to work to show everyone. Really, pictures are fine. I don't need to hear a screaming kid.

Go ahead and be that guy. Every man in the place would thank you if they knew who it was.

As for women, it's that mentality of "OH MY GOD ITS MY BABY HE/SHE IS THE CUTEST LITTLE WONDERFUL BUNDLE OF JOY EVER!!!!!!"

Hell, even pictures they expect you to say "cutest baby ever" in response. Well, a) every baby cannot be the cutest ever, and b) it's not cute, it's a disgusting little blob.

It's not just you, it's every new mother at every workplace. For some reason, no HR really seems to do anything about it.

Maybe HR has lots of women? Maybe they don't want to get into an argument with a new mother? Maybe they figure it's bad PR? Who knows.

It is called "stay the fuck at home" or "confine yourself to common areas like the cafeteria," not "Let's stand 6 feet from ICF's cube with a screaming kid.
Wait until nobody's looking, draw a dick on his face with permanent marker :biggrin:

My dream job is somewhere I can bring my dog with me. I'd be willing to put up with babies if I could have my dog with me.

Dog: Sits quietly under desk, requires an occasional pat. HR inevitably flips out, orders owner to take dog home, threatens further discipline.
Baby: Screams for hours, requires frequent/constant attention, gets shown around the entire office, disrupting work for everyone in the room. HR sticks head up rear end and ignores.

My wife was allowed to bring our dog to her last job. The first time she took her, the dog walked into the boss' office and took a big shit on the floor. :D

Our philosophy too, which is why we're not having kids. Dogs might pee and poop on things when you first get them, but once you've trained them, they can go outside and do their business on their own -- no need to change crappy diapers for years on end, let alone the expense of the diapers in the first place.

If I could get lucky enough to find an annihilated 05-06 GTO, that'd have everything. Rear end, differential, transmission, and LS2.
