RE: Interns are not people [EN/PT]
Ouch!.. It's a really complex topic @michupa friend!... In my experience, I was an intern for 120 days (Systems Engineering) as a requirement for my degree, and -to be honest- at the company where I did my internship, they almost made me give up on my degree, holy heavens! 😄... The jokes were awful!; they had me carrying papers between offices and carrying paper for the printers for the first two weeks. To make matters worse, the person assigned as my tutor in the IT department kept telling me things like, "Just do what you're supposed to, don't ask so many questions, I'm not a babysitter," and other such nonsense. I think I was just unlucky, but after the first month, I had already complained to the HR department and my internship tutors teachers, so there was some interaction, and they transferred me to a larger branch of the company where everything changed. Interestingly, after graduating, I worked for four years until I became "data center manager" at that company, and everything worked out well. I even married my wife, who is still my wife today, at the very end of my last month of internship, because at least I was getting paid some money for that experience-gaining phase. Great topic for your article, as always my friend!. Very well researched and presented!

I can say I understand you perfectly because I went through something similar, and this text was a bit of a vent as well. It is sad to think about how new professionals are shaped, and many of them believe this is normal and will repeat it in the future. Maybe those guys are just a reflection of what was done to them in the past, who knows... but either way, it is not right to treat someone like that when they are there not for fun, but out of necessity, and it hurts me to see the injustices that are done.
What an incredible story, once again!
