Time to pull your head up out of the sand and notice that we are nearing 20 million unemployed young men in this country.
There aren't enough tables to hop.
They’re talking about parents who call up and ask for favors for their kids or negotiate benefits. These are adults, 22+. How is that a good thing for an adult? Shouldn’t they learn that you don’t get favors right away before you’ve proven yourself at work? That Mom and Dad can’t make it all better for you every time? These aren’t kids.
I helped my sons in every way. Talked to them about what they should wear, how to do a really *good* handshake, looking in the eye, what to say, what *not* to say, what to ask or not ask. That’s where the parenting should end. Mom should not be asking why my son has to work every weekend. PuhLEASE!
I hired people for 10 of my 17 years at a hospital. I would never have hired someone who brought a parent or had their parents call to ask questions they should have been asking - or to negotiate their hours or days. And obviously other companies feel the same way. So they are NOT helping their kids get jobs by calling to ask why they have to work in a cubicle instead of getting an office, just because they have a degree. They’re actually killing their chances of kids obtaining employment.
