(If they would only use that time and energy in their jobs) Having said that and also having a husband who deals with nutballs every single day at his job, Jason must document, document, document every single detail, what has already happened and what is to come! He needs it for his own protection and must never, ever, allow himself to be in an office or room alone with this horrible woman!

I have been a wor...okay...I have to chime in here. I have been a working mom since my daughter was 3 months old. Never would I have considered it a good idea to take my infant to work. I even had an office where she would not have interrupted anyone...except for me and my ability to do my job...professionally! I was in lending, and dealt with most of my clients by phone, email, etc. Still...would not have been easy to do with a 6 mo. old. However, when she was 5, her preschool was closed for Christmas Eve, I had to work that day for four hours with no babysitter available and husband could not take off as well. So, with permission from my Sr. VP, I brought her with me. She sat at the conf. table in my office and colored. At age 5, she was pretty self-sufficient. At lunch, the bank closed and we went home. Totally different than if I'd had an infant there. However, from an HR standpoint, it can be sticky...when truly it is just plain common sense. I would just do as Karen says...tell Jason to document everything just in case...Don't worry. Jason is great at his job. He rocks! His boss...obviously not so much. Crazy like a fox woman...well, just watch out for her.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531286530755415028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37540506.post-70595683434672905712008-01-16T15:39:00.000-05:002008-01-16T15:39:00.000-05:00Complete craziness.
