Yes, but you're getting experience so treasure it.
Leo Mitchell
rise up! break your chains and walk away a free man!
Gavin Powell
why are you posting? don't you have some work to do?
Zachary Rodriguez
fuck that, be a neet
Ethan Ross
tell the boss that he either gives you a better pay or you walk away then? show them your performance compared to the full time employees to persuade them they either give you money, or you walk away from that shitty job, win win
Jacob Harris
Just walk, write on your resume you got experience in project management or something
Seriously, you need to learn to tell them to shove it or pay overtime.
Carson Hernandez
well you prob arent gonna get any references out of it but you can at least put it down as experience.
John Rogers
Tell the boss to start paying or walk away. No need to work in a stressfull enviroment if there is no need.
Oliver Long
>"so user, the first part of your resume looks ok, but do you have any experience?"
Austin Turner
Bad internships happen. If you don't have to have the money, then just walk away.
The way I'd do it is talk to your boss and say "Hey there is no way I could complete this work."
If he's a good boss then he'll know you are a good worker and try to keep you. If he doesn't then it time to politely put in your two weeks and wash your hands of those fucking morons.
Gabriel Hernandez
Fuck off boomer.
Lucas Powell
This happens to pretty much every employee (intern or permanent) who ups their pace and doesn't push back when overloaded with work. Bosses seldom care about burning people out and see anyone with any idle time as someone obviously not being worked hard enough. Coworkers see you as a place to dump tasks onto to give themselves an easier time, and they'll keep doing that as long as you sit there and take it.
Tell your coworkers you will not be receiving any new tasks until your current tasks are completed.
Mason Parker
Is it a paid internship?
Brandon Young
Time to push back and get back bone. Every time you get a new project mention it loudly, how they couldn't handle their workload again?
Time to get political and learn interpersonal dynamics on how to be assertive while being personable.
Jacob King
No can do, sport. I'm eternal. Remember?
Adrian Brown
>taking tasks from anyone that isn't your direct supervisor that's where you fucked up
Wyatt Lopez
this stop being a little bitch who doesn't say shit to people
Mason Harris
>Are internships a normie trap? Yes. I hope you're at least getting paid.
Levi Phillips
>are interships a normie trap no you're just a dumbass because you aren't asserting yoru limits. You are an intern, not a manslave, they should be doing their own work for what they get payed instead of hauling it all onto you.
Robert King
dude i went through the same shit and once pay day came i walked out with zero warnings, i fucked their shit up good and im glad because my boss treated me like shit too on top of overwork, unpaid hours and long commutes in that shitty startup environment >mfw boss called me on the phone to say i had an obligation of 2 week notice to his startup while i was basically freelancing for him
>asserting This. Deliver bossman an ultimatum: Stop giving me an inhumane workload or I seek work elsewhere.
Dylan Edwards
>No need to work in a stressfull enviroment if there is no need. >No need if there is no need What a fantastic insight
Robert Rivera
You are never obligated to give a two week's notice. It's a courtesy so you don't burn bridges.
Camden Ward
Anytime
Kevin Ramirez
just quit dude
Ian Turner
There is one pretty word for all of this. Simple 'No, I won't do it'
Jose Long
you can still burn bridges though even with 2 weeks notice, some people are bitter
Carson Bennett
there are more people looking for work than there are places you can work at. especially if you're an intern; literally expendable.
if he's an intern with no experience outside of this, and he bumfucks himself out of a reference, then he'll have to find another place. if he acts the same way there, it'll be an endless cycle.
being a pussy ass faggot wont do, and being a smug little fucknut wont either. find someone in the workplace you can sit and have a talk with about the issue and sort it out together, instead of bitching about it on an imageboard filled with neets who get their life experiences from sitcoms.
Owen Bailey
Yes internships suck imo. Also stop being everyone's bitch at the office
