Please Tell Me This Isn't True

[Fireball]

There is much literature on the subject.

One HR professional set up interviews for two millennial candidates with the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company. Not only did they both cancel at the last minute, they asked if the interview could be done over Skype instead of in person, because it was too inconvenient to travel from the East to West Coast.

•Millennials' sense of entitlement is frustrating. As one HR professional noted, the younger employees feel that they are owed more respect, opportunity and pay than their experience, ability or knowledge merit.

"Back when I was HR Manager for a market research firm, one of the most awkward interviews was with my candidate and his mother.

This 19-year-old who apparently had previous work experience in customer service brought his mother into the interview with him. I politely questioned his mother as to the reasoning of her joining in on the interview and I was told, 'I'm just making sure this is the right company for him and making sure you're asking fair questions.'

The last one has some really funny stuff..... even if it is ultimately scary as all hell.

That last one- a true helicopter parent. What's going to happen to him if a customer gets bitchy and mommy isn't there to back him up?

My eldest son had a friend whose mother made him wait for her to tell him when it was safe to cross the street, even when he was 15 years old. He didn't get a driver's license until he graduated university, because his mother insisted on taking him to and from the campus.
