They're doing health screenings at work. You get a discount on the company insurance if you and your spouse get blood taken, pressure read, a couple other things.
Coworker was at the gate, waiting for his wife to show up so he could escort her to the testing.
Someone else came in with his wife and a 5-month old child.
Technically, this site is an industrial area, so kids aren't supposed to be here. The security guard was unsure about the rules, though, so he called his boss. head of security said 'it's not a security issue, ask HR.'
So the guard calls HR. Now, since a few company merges ago, our HR department isn't actually in this building. It's not in this state. SO the call is forwarded to some office building in, IIRC, Virginia. THEY say it's okay, as long as they don't wander around. "Don't go 'see daddy's desk' or show the wife 'where hubby works.' stuff like that. In, screening, out."
Guard accepts this, issues a temp badge to the wife, off they go.
He calls his boss back with the status. "Yeah, I didn't give the baby a badge, because he can't sign the sheet to acknowledge the security briefing." Head of Security blows up. Wants to know why the hell HR let a baby into an industrial area? Guard is helpless to answer this difficult question, since Boss did NOT say "Call HR, but if they give you the wrong answer, I want you to argue with them."
Jesus Christ, if you HAVE an opinion on a question, GIVE your opinion on the question. If you know the rules, share the rules, even if it's not technically YOUR rule.
If you punt the question to someone else, accept someone else's answer.
Anyway, coworker texted the wife. Their daughter's doll was in the car. Wife wrapped it in a blanket, carried it in. Security guy said, "You can't bring the baby into the building."
Wife shrugged, said 'Okay,' tossed the doll into the corner of the vestibule. "Stay!"
