Here’s one way not to get ahead in your career: Have your parent lodge a complaint with human resources because your manager failed to give you a promotion.

Here’s another: Have your dad conduct a phone interview for you.

It's truly sad that the last statement I quoted isn't obvious to everyone.

And a "bring your parents to work day"? Seriously?
