Helicopter Parents in the workplace

With this generation of baby boomers, parents are having much closer relationships with their children. Millennials are being "coddled" by their parents all throughout life, even through a main life achievement; obtaining a career. Parents are not only joining their children in interviews and company events, but are submitting resumes for their offspring as well. Some companies see this as having a potentially positive effect on the company as this could boost employee morale and create a better sense of comfort in the workplace. Others don't view these "helicopter" parents in the same light. They see them as intrusive on their children's lives. A mother kicks a baby bird out her nest so that it would learn to fly. Parents need to let go of their children and let them lead their adult lives. Adult offspring should take the initiative in finding jobs for themselves and excelling in them; without parental involvement.
