Hovering Parents - The Ultimate Nightmare
by Frank Mulligan, Talent Software

In case you haven’t heard the expression these are parents who hover over their kids and are a major part of every decision the kids make, to the extent of often making the decision for them.

We don’t have this in China, do we?. I mean one-child policy kids are so independent, right? And when your company makes an offer to them they don’t complicate matters by discussing it endlessly with their parents, grandparents and any other relative who happens to be visiting, right?.
