Restaurant manager brings baby into kitchen while he works, ignores chef requesting the child be removed from the workspace: 'He jumps on the cook line, baby still attached'

It has long been popular wisdom that unless a job demands it, we should never work with animals or children. There are some professions where this advice is a heck of a lot more important than others, primarily because introducing pets or kids into the situation would be a severe health hazard. Those pesky OSHA regulations that so many love to complain about? They are there for very valid reasons.

Nonetheless, this doesn't stop some who seem to lack common sense from engaging in careless behavior like bringing young kids into a high-risk workplace. While all parents know how difficult it can be to get childcare sometimes, there are limits on what can be done when the babysitter doesn't pull through and you are due to show up at work. This is especially true if you work in an environment that is known for accidents. It is something that simply shouldn't be done.

This is what one chef working in a restaurant kitchen thought when the kitchen manager turned up to work with his baby strapped to him and proceeded to try to work on the cook line.
When the employee raised questions about the safety of the arrangement, the dad moved the child to a high chair in an also inconvenient part of the kitchen and continued to work.
This led to an outburst from the chef, who felt that both the baby and those working in the kitchen were unsafe. However, they were not supported by their coworkers. They wanted backup and to know that their feelings were valid.

AITA for asking that a baby be removed from cook line in a commercial kitchen during operational hours?
