5-year-old daughter appears on dad's work screen for 2 seconds during 8:30 PM meeting, HR reprimands him: 'I don't think I can work here anymore'

Remote work is something we're all still figuring out. We remain in the beginning phases of what will become a long history of folks working from home, or wherever they happen to be. So it follows that not everyone has the same definition of working from home. Some employers hope that you have a room to lock yourself in for 8 hours while no one interrupts you. Some employees enjoy the flexibility to do their laundry, make lunch, or pick up their kids from school. 

Most teams are able to work it out with a sense of compassion and understanding. But not all. That's the unfortunate position one father found himself in when his 5-year-old daughter made an appearance at his work meeting. A normal thing that happens in the course of remote work. But that's not what his employers thought. Read on for the story and see what you think.
