Do I Have to Make a Morning Call for New Employees?… A Mother Making Unreasonable Demands by Phone [What Do You Think]

[Financial News] Recently, a post about a new employee's mother calling the company to say she is struggling has been posted online, causing controversy.

News1 reported on the 14th that a post titled "Why does the new employee's mom keep calling the company? It's driving me crazy" was uploaded to the anonymous workplace community 'Blind'.

The author, Mr. A, explained that the new employee's mother called the company saying, "Please wake my son up in the morning so he won't be late," "Please make sure to say 'please' when assigning tasks to my child," or "Why aren't you giving my child work? I will sue for workplace harassment."

The demands of the new employee's mother did not stop there.
"Why are you making my son leave 5 minutes late? Are you going to pay him?" and "My friend is a lawyer, so treat my son well," were also mentioned.

Mr. A expressed frustration, saying, "I really don't know what this is," and claimed, "I wish it was a YouTube hoax. I've recorded and captured all the KakaoTalk conversations."
He continued, "I'm really stressed because of this. Recently, I even shouted out of anger," he lamented.

Netizens who saw the post reacted negatively, saying, "Please tell me it's a novel," "There will be more people like that in the future. Look at the current problems with home education," "In 10 years, it will be really terrible. Companies will become like kindergartens," "Seeing kids like that pass interviews makes interviews meaningless."

In particular, one netizen shared their experience, saying, "After the interview, when I contacted them for final acceptance, there was a kid who said, 'I'll ask my mom and let you know if I'll join.' We hired them because their portfolio was decent, but they said they had to ask their mom for everything, whether it was going to a workshop or a business trip, so I was shocked."
