I refuse to believe a parent coming to an adult job interview is that common. How?!?
I worked in a workshoop/factory and a guy’s mom came to his interview. He got the job and she also came on his first day. The leadhand talked to her, explaining that if she didn’t leave that he would be bulllied by the other guys.
This was in the late 00’s, so no GenZ in sight.

Sounds like a surefire way to not get the job
