A friend is a recruiter for a Fortune 500 company. He told me that on a number of occasions mom has showed up along with the applicant on the initial job interview.
Please tell me this is a joke ad man!

I’ve read article about this in business journals. Parents have also called or shown up at their adult children’s office to discuss raises and promotions.

There are companies sending hires to etiquette school. The hires don’t know how to properly hold a knife and a fork to cut meat or know the difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork.

If work involves taking clients to dinner it’s relevant.
