Several years ago, I remember reading - in a number of articles - that some companies were actually changing their interviewing and on-boarding procedures to accommodate parents. I couldn't believe it and hoped it was a satirical take on the American "helicopter parents". But after reading a number of articles and anecdotes, I had to accept that it was true. And that these were companies I'd never want to work for. I'm so glad that the pendulum never swung all the way over and is, in fact, swinging back away from that. I recently read of a hiring a manager who rescinded a job offer after the candidate's mother called to inquire seating arrangements and benefits.
