When we were young people, we would have blanched at the thought of our potential boss calling our parents about our potential job, though it is tough to imagine the CEO of Starbuck would have called Mom about our barista gig.
I'm sorry, I have no snark for this. I own my own business, and I'm interested in hiring adults, not special snowflakes. If you need to have your mom call me, go watch "Failure to Launch" until you get over it. And if your mommy does call me, you ain't gettin' the job, no matter what or who you are. /Snark on
Can I invite the (non-existent) Commentariat to work today? Like I do <i>everyday</i>?
I can only picture Rod Serling staring at me... [cue Twilight Zone music]

Yes, having your Mom share your naked toddler pix and awkward teenage dating stories is SO going to accelerate your career advancement.

Jerry Sandusky used to call a lot of parents too.
Picture this: Boss hits it off with your folks, sees them socially, gets invited to have dinner with them.
Downside: Boss sneaks a peak downstairs during dinner when nobody is looking and gets an eyeful of that hovel you are living in.
Dear Schmannity&#039;s parents:
Have you thought about the health benefits of vasectomy or tubal ligation?
As it is, I think that teaching senior high school would be much better without parents. Especially ones who are teachers themselves.
If your mom has all day to hang on the phone, yes.
Just wrap those delicate tea cups in some duct tape and tell &#039;em to get back to work.
