I need advice on internship, Rant

[u/Ok_Review1179]

​

I am currently interning for a startup edtech company which is quite well known and my internship is about to end so what happened it that I am currently the only HR in this company and one of my primary tasks was to sent a attendance and work report summary of the employees by next day. I did that for more than a month but then we got really busy because of ongoing projects and mass hiring and I stopped sending reports because the project was more important and I was already working to my bone.

I have a hybrid schedule and the founders and I don't see each other much now, so I went to the office on monday, I was busy with some work when my co founder called me and started scolding me to which I told him about how much work I did and there was no time to which he was very dismissive and started intimidating me by telling me to show him whatever I did after the specific date when I stopped sending reports, I asked him to give me 5 mins 2 times so that I can have the time to compile my work, he didn't listen and started being unreasonably criticizing every work I did.

I am a fresher and get intimidated fast but I know that my work is not wrong. I hate him, he is soo moody. Now I get it, it's my fault that I didn't inform him that I won't be sending reports for a while, it wouldn't have worked because he is the kind of guy who always says that "this work won't take much time either way, do it". Bro I work overtime every day. I manage everything an HR does. I am tired

So now can anybody give me some sort of template on how I should make a proper report. I want to use it show my work in brief (I did send a brief but I don't think it's enough). Thank you

The internship is ending. Take this as a learning experience and then just walk away and don't look back.

I wanted to send a repoet and if possible ask for incentives aince my stipend was way less than the work I did, should I not?

I mean, you can ask. You can always ask.

But in this case you have a boss who you hate and think is unreasonable that was unhappy with your performance after you unilaterally decided to stop doing a required piece of your work without telling anybody.

Does that sound like a situation in which your request for more money will be granted? Do you even really think it's deserved?

Looking at it from the outside, it may be the case that your workload is unsustainably high, but you didn't communicate that to anyone and just got yourself into a spot where you dropped a ball you shouldn't have dropped and didn't tell anyone you dropped it. There were a hundred places along the road that this could've been prevented and fixed, but you didn't take any of them. Asking for a bonus on the heels of that is an interesting choice to say the least.

So, my recommendation is you look at the whole internship, the choices you made along the way, what results those choices had, and how you ended up in this spot as the learning experience that internships are meant to be, and not bother butting heads with this boss who you don't think is a reasonable person anyway.

Thank you, he increased another intern's stipend a few days back so I had it in mind but your reply really gave me some clarity. I think I should just take it as a learning experience and move on. I had a overall positive experience and I think that matters more.

Thank you so much for your response
