"The text overlay of the video read, "Imagine telling me that I am going to get fired once my coworkers find out I am working from home with my baby and these are the said coworkers." The coworker on call was wrapping up the meeting when they brought up that they had a baby on the team call. "Lift her little head up so we can have a look at that cutie little one.""
"@jesspe_21 FEW THINGS: My baby is almost never in meetings. My husband got a work call and I signaled for him to give her to me since the meeting was wrapping up. I've worked from home with my kids for 3 years at this company, NO issues. Everyone in my company knows I work from home with my babes, and guess what?"
Jessica works from home with her two children and rarely brings her baby to meetings. During one meeting she held her eight-month-old in her lap because her husband had a work call and passed the baby to her as the meeting was ending. A coworker on the call asked to see the baby, which led the entire team to greet the infant with enthusiastic compliments and gushing. Jessica noted she has worked remotely with her kids at the company for three years without issues and that other employees also work from home with children. Her video clip on TikTok received over 2.8 million views and highlighted that some companies genuinely value work–life balance.
