What assumptions did I make, other than that if they can hear a toddler and a cartoon in the room, and if their job is phone calls, then they should take care that this isn’t distracting on phone calls?

I don’t have a relationship with them- they’re one agent of a handful, whom I’m obligated by my client to call a couple times a year.

I’m not in a position to give feedback on their work performance. Nobody needs me to have a confrontation with them. I’m not their coworker, boss or direct customer.

This is a HN post about WFH and I’ve shared an anecdote about somebody’s toddler babbling during our work call.

I admit mine is an unpopular opinion- we’re supposed to celebrate parents who work so hard to balance their duties with their entirely elective decision to have children.
