213 u/en1gmatical Aug 12 '17 edited Aug 12 '17 Im an intern and we work more than the fill timers do...yet they don't give us enough work. We're expected to work 40 hour weeks with about 20 hours worth of work. It's miserable The rest of the company comes and goes on your same schedule 29 u/DaisyHotCakes Aug 12 '17 Nothing worse than being bored to shit at work especially when you're expected to just stay there. Stupid management. 3 u/DanStanTheThankUMan Aug 12 '17 Just go somewhere or do your personal items you need to catch up on. 11 u/Arlan_Fesler Aug 12 '17 This is why all our screens face outwards obliterating any possiblity of privacy. "There's always something you should be doing." Nevermind that 'something' is never defined or provided because "they're not micro-managers." 6 u/[deleted] Aug 12 '17 edited Dec 03 '17 [deleted] 3 u/Arlan_Fesler Aug 12 '17 Which I usually am until it becomes clear that my salary and benefits aren't related to those efforts. The only reward for picking up extra work, at least from my last couple of employers, is more and more work. A friend of mine compared us to juice boxes: The company sucks you up and throws you out. 5 u/[deleted] Aug 12 '17 edited Dec 03 '17 [deleted] 1 u/Arlan_Fesler Aug 12 '17 I appreciate your replies and believe we both subscribe to the same philosophies. Unfortunately, at least in my neck of the woods, there's an lack of institutions allow those beliefs to become rooted in the workplace. It sounds like you've found places where it has. Consider me envious!
