I don't watch much Fox News anymore....maybe five minutes in an entire week. So this business item came up a day or two ago, and it's been on my mind....about Gen-Z.
Roughly three-quarters of parents of Gen-Z 'kids'....admit that they help the kid complete work assignments. I assume....they mean spreadsheet and data collection....which the kid takes home.The boss probably sits and 'thinks' that the new-hire did it himself/herself.
Bringing a parent to the job interview....probably to boost confidence.
But then you have 45-percent of Gen-Z kids who have mom or dad talk to the manager....to re-assure him....about some situation or mess.
If I were the boss....the minute I got the impression....parents were deep into my business structure and the Gen-Z kid could only function with 'guidance'? I'd let the kid go (he can't stay).
All of this begs the question....was the parent doing the same BS when the kid was in high school, and college?
