Crying baby reported to HR after distracting coworkers too much, the tattletale questions if what she did is right: "Did I just 'tell' on her?"

Who doesn't love babies? Many people love their innocent tenderness, their big, watery eyes, their nascent smiles, and the joy they bring so effortlessly to any situation. But of course, there are times when a newborn baby is the worst thing you can imagine being near you. Ever get on a plane with a baby screaming the whole 12 hours? Yeah, it's not fun. Or what about a movie theater? It really begs the question of why someone would want to bring their baby to a movie. It's not like the baby can understand anything!

I bet few people have had to deal with a baby being in their place of work though. In the story below, the protagonist has to hear a screaming, crying baby while she's typing away or doing excel sheets. If there's one place a baby shouldn't be, I'd say it's the workplace.

In the story below, the protagonist is struggling to get into the working zone because there's a crying baby in the other room. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

Trying to work with a crying baby is not something that should be expected from anyone. Working with annoying coworkers, fine. Working with a difficult management, normal. But a crying baby? Of course she's in the right to take it up to HR. It's out of her hands, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
