If employees are required to fill in their parents' work units during the interview, in my opinion, this should be equivalent to interviewing their parents, not themselves. Of course, some special departments will investigate parents or families when applying for jobs, but for ordinary companies, the company requires employees to fill in their parents' work units, which may be to investigate the economic background of employees. If your parents are executives of some government departments or some big companies, then the company you are applying for may expand its business through employee relationships, so if your parents have some background, they may be used by the company. In terms of talent promotion, the company may also promote you because of your relationship, so for other candidates,

Of course, some departments or companies will investigate their family background when recruiting employees, which is also carried out in accordance with the relevant laws of the country. That's understandable, but for most companies, it's really uncomfortable to ask their parents about their work, and it's not a political review of national public officials. This will make people feel that they are not interviewing themselves, but their parents. If applying for a sales position, some interviewers may have taken a fancy to the resources brought by family background. If so, then they are consuming employees' network resources. For themselves, when their network resources run out, they may also face the crisis of layoffs.

So if the interviewer asks to fill in the parents' work unit during the interview, I feel very uncomfortable.
