Intern Cried
My itern cried during our weekly sync. All I did was ask where they wanted to focus on in regards to growth for the remainder of their internship. What did I do wrong? Wtf? I'm not great with people so am I an asshole?
Wow you guys must have worked him hard
Sexist. He could be a she. How can you call yourself Ohana... will report to tony prophet
Maybe they're intimidated / overwhelmed? Could be imposter syndrome?
The outpour of emotion may be not work related at all. Poor soul might just be sitting at the tipping point before your question.
Document sequence of events in the form of an email to your manager. Hey, FYI types. Take brownie or cookies for said intern to the next one on one meeting. Ask if it will help if you appointed a day to day "buddy" to make said individual successful.
I think "appointing a buddy to make said individual successful" could make them feel like they're bombing or ostracize them
That's why I suggested asking the intern and not appointing.
Another intern hid fresh sliced onions under the table. Your fault for not looking underneath.
Lol!
Hearing about day to day buddy for the first time. Is it really a thing?
It used to be called mentoring. 🙄 Don't want to hurt anyone's fragile egos here.
Poor intern : (
I was 16 when I had my first manager position that made someone cry. I'm more careful now but I still say its more them than you.
Wow... What a dick. Making interns cry out here
