SAN FRANCISCO — Seta Whitford-Stark was dumbfounded last year when she found out her daughter Amy quit her job at an employee-recruiting agency to work for LinkedIn, an Internet company that Seta had never heard of. Amy tried to explain what the online professional networking service did, but Seta couldn't quite grasp the concept or why the 29-year-old would want to work there.
"Oh my God, what has she gotten herself into?" Seta, now 73, recalls muttering to herself.
Then Seta got to observe Amy and her colleagues in action at LinkedIn Corp.'s New York office and came away with a much better understanding of her daughter's career. She'll be back at LinkedIn again Thursday for its second annual "Bring In Your Parents Day," joining thousands of parents at companies around the globe in an event that gives adult children a rare opportunity to showcase the cultural and technological changes that have transformed the modern workplace.

National Bring your Parents to work day. This is comedy gold.
Can you imagine the workplaces, filled with visitors with nothing to lose, and no filter? All embarrassing their kids?
LMAO
Pop turned 93 in September and every Wednesday since he was 83 I’ve picked him up and we go have breakfast and coffee at a little place south of town, then we hit the ranch. He is my Mentor and my Hero! He hit the beach at Tarawa and he was at the plane when I got off in San Francisco in 1971. He’s my buddy, my Pal and the toughest man I’ve ever known. I turned 64 this year and I only hope I can be half the man he is, did I tell ya he’s my HERO!
You’re a lucky guy.
Yes I am!
How wonderful! Sounds like both of you are very lucky. God bless.
Your dad is a jewel.
