Zoomers bringing parents to interview

... Bringing your parents though?

Why are so many of you falling for the generational divide propaganda? We all hated the absolute nonsense bullshit that would be written about us millennials so why are you lapping it up when it attacks zoomers or gen alpha?

I do do this?n't think anyone is viewing this as a widescale thing. The article itself is clearly fudging a bunch of stuff to make it seem like a pattern but we can still talk about the behavior itself being absurd.

So the article was a bunch of bullshit and people jumped at it anyway. Doing so much better than our boomer parents everyone, nice job

Is it millennials's turn to lap up articles about how bad the new generation is

We are not immune to propaganda.

The fact that some in this topic are trying to defend it is just... Dang, how sheltered ARE you??? xD

"If you can't interview without your parents, then I'm going to assume you can't work without them either."

This board seems to pounce on anything gen Z related no matter how obviously bullshit it is

It just seems strange when a gen gets shit on for being themselves and then they start doing the same thing to those younger than them

The parent can also be beneficial if the interviewer is trying to lie during the interview process with something say a first-time employee has never experienced and their parent has experienced plenty of times during their past interviews.

Work at a large clinic, my boss was talking about this a few weeks ago. I guess they've had multiple applicants doing this and are absolutely gobsmacked by it lol. If it happens this often in the middle of bum fuck Arkansas I'm sure it's a borderline nationwide epidemic

Some HR people on social media have been saying the same thing, and I agree with it. It essentially boils down to:

"If you can't interview without your parents, then I'm going to assume you can't work without them either."

Oh shut the fuck up. You know damn well we're not talking about special needs people and haven't the entire topic.

Look at how many times he's posted "corpo" lol, dude thinks he's Johnny Silverhand defending manchildren from the evil Arasaka CE posters

I don't see why they can't have an interview where a young person has a parent in their corner.

lol that was my first thought too. Dude keeps using that word like it actually means something. The real world is going to be very difficult for him.

Is this topic about special needs people or is it about an entire generation of people

Again, we've already established that the article is bullshit, but it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we've been talking about adults that are expected to attain independence and cannot have an adult with them every single time they need a big boy task done.

And your logic is stupid. What "sketchy tactics" would a parent catch onto in an interview that an adult wouldn't

This is just another example of a larger social shift that's been happening for at least a generation: kids are staying kids longer. I don't have an opinion on whether it's good or bad, it just is what it is.

What are the parents supposed to do at the interview, answer questions for the kid? Just sit there looking stupid?

I can't imagine this not being a huge red flag for any employer. If the potential employee can't go to an interview without a parent, there could be some deeper issues going on.

MLMs don't even have interviews

What jobs are you guys fucking applying to that are tricking people into MLMs? MLMs don't even have interviews

What do you actually think goes through the minds of employers

"Oh gosh, we better not have that parent in the room, they might think we're not paying their child enough"

And it never once dawned on you that the interviewee could literally tell their parents what they were asked about (which is an almost guaranteed outcome anyway)

Nah he thinks an adult needs to be coddled like a toddler and never grow the fuck up or learn how to stand on their own two feet. Im all for accepting help from your parents post high school graduation but mommy and daddy should not be doing the adulting for you.

you ain't talking any different than my fifth graders so idk what you think you know about growing up and adulting

floundering on your own isn't any more adult than any floundering you did as a kid dude, there's nothing wrong with anyone having help finding steady balance

what are you gonna insult therapy next? Seriously, where's the line?

And actually floundering on your own is an important part of growing up. You need to have a healthy way of learning how to deal with failure and adversity.

Literally the exact same lie told about millennials:
