Lunchboy must be a Gen Xer. I'm sick of the stereotypes. There's TONS of fresh talent out there who know how to be respectful, professional and have cut the umbilical cord a LONG time ago. Start writing about those types of Millenials, please. Hmm. Lunchboy must be a Gen Xer. I’m sick of the stereotypes.

This is BS - parent know better. Maybe it happened once or twice.As for the tech angle and just the fact that they are lazy, I'd agree.

Screwballs. “Hiring managers are reporting some parents are going so far as to accompanying their children to interviews and calling companies to inquire about the status of their children’s résumés.” This is BS – parent know better.
