would you bring your mother to work?

I've been hiring for TPC for quite some time now and i've encountered several peculiar and mind boggling situations, but one thing i don't get is how some people would involve their parents in their work situation.


I didn't personally encounter it but on different occasions, at least 2 colleagues have confined that an applicant's mother would call about their daughters situation. Whether it be the status of their application or anything about work in general. The mothers even had the nerve to lecture them about what we were supposedly doing wrong.  

I mean come on! We're not in school anymore! I don't know what's going on with these peoples' heads but to have your own mother, handle situations for you, is just immature i think. I mean if you can't handle your own affairs how can people trust you to get things done on your own. Would you also call in your mother to do it for you?

I sadly, was once guilty of this. Way back before I left for the US the first time, my mom demanded I call tess and have them talk about how our income taxes were being paid. Hahaha! I apologized to tess profusely after that.
