We hired a summer student with two years of university.  She constantly complained of the pressure, requested frequent deadline extensions and was shocked when not all were automatically approved, and outright cried (sobbed!) when a customer requested to deal with someone else from the office.  We were amazed, because many of us had worked in many different places and knew just how progressive and positive our office environment was compared to others.

The school/university system...with the support of over-protective parents... is not doing anyone favours by turning out these snowflakes with glass jaws who lack the resiliency to take on the real world.  Failure to prepare children for adulthood strikes me as a form of child abuse.  How in earth does infantilizing young adults actually help rather than hinder??
