“Social justice” done right!
“We were shocked. The proposal was written professionally like examples I have learned about in school...”
Now you’ve learned that the real world isn’t a college campus.
Yeah, and so did the parents who tolerate this kind of crap from their kids. I love to see the faces of the "everyone's-a-winner" generation when they actually have to support themselves. If everyone's a winner, then why did you just get fired? The real world doesn't work the way you were raised...get used to it.
Go do that at MCRD. See what happens. Let me know when and which depot, I’ll see if I can pull some strings so I can be a fly on the wall. I want to see this. I’ll tell the Senior that I’m okay with anything he does, and I didn’t see a damned thing.
Interns ‘petitioning’ to change their work environment.
Well, you’ve learned something. so I guess you have that.
California has “employment at will” which means the employer does not even need to give a reason for terminating somebody.
Of course that doesn’t mean former employees won’t try—race, color, age, sexual orientation, physical/mental disabilities might be alleged.
Employers are advised by their HR departments to document, document, warn, document, etc.
plz add to the petition the following, to wit, boss should not enter our “safe spaces” without prior notification, nor request or expect timely work before 11am Mondays or after 1pm on Fridays.
They are INTERNS
You have to wear the rubber gloves in McDonalds snowflake.
(I'm just linking to another thread that's had over 100 posts. This post isn't at all some "already posted!!!!" complaint. Even if I tended to complain, that earlier thread has a different source and a significantly different title.)
"They can do that?"
what’s with the page jumping back to the top every few seconds? makes reading rather difficult
In the future, consider floating your proposals in what some like to call a "trial balloon." Have a chit-chat with a seasoned confidant, perhaps your intern mentor over lunch. Make some harmless small talk about the weather, the local ball team, a project you heard about going on in the company, etc.
If you get the feeling that you're in a "safe space" with that confidant, ask them how a proposal such as yours would land with management. If they're vaguely in agreement, ask about the best way to make that proposal and what the best timing would be.
If the company is undergoing some financial storms, or if the company is coming off a bad quarter or two, unless your proposal contains an immediate payback with zero cost, you'd better zip it. Just because you learned how to draft a "business memorandum" in your Effective Communications' course doesn't mean your boss will see it that way.
Tgeir parents paid 100s of thousands and they learned nada zero nothing. Now they have learned far more in one meeting in the real world. Nice.
Probably saw nothing wrong with drafting and circulating the petition on the clock. The snowflakes are going to have a much tougher time paying back their student loans than anyone imagines.
Mission accomplished then.
They were interns.............
Oh the graduation commencement speech I would give!
Dear Graduates of this fine institution, Welcome to the real world. Now you education just begins.
First, you must learn that nobody gives a damn how you feel.
Second, you must learn that the BOSS may not always be right, but he’s the BOSS.
Thirdly, your sole responsibility is to make the BOSS happy.
Fourthly, and finally, you will learn that if you do not pay attention to the first three rules, you will be unemployed with no pay.
Have a nice life!.......................
She's long since gone unfortunately and the Booksellers look like they just walked in from a homeless camp.
One other thing. No one was allowed any facial piercings ;-)

But I come from that world one sees in the rear view mirror. What do I know?
