    Yes, but no.

    For both myself as a kid and my kids now that I’m parent, I’ve done it several times. However it was really more family day, an open house to show where you work and who you work with. It always had activities, my company has a bounce house (that I never got to use as an employee)

    It became pretty annoying as my kids grew into teens. I stopped taking them because everything was oriented to little kids, but teens could probably use some exposure to what people do at work. They’re deciding what they want to do, but with no information, while it would be so useful to actually shadow their parent. Not fun maybe, but useful
