This is reality in some companies and it so bad. I hope interns are being introduced to worklife in a more gentle way. It should be looked at as if raising a puppy. Make them feel confident, offer socialising to frienly other workers, and offer some experiences of success. Only then we can get good workers and colleagues. We spend so much part of our life with work, it should be made tolerable and not unbearable.
I agree. It often feels like just a loophole to get free or very cheap labor, but sometimes the worst part is how interns are actually treated. This cycle of bad behavior becomes self perpetuating, because when they move into higher positions, will they replicate the same treatment? So the right approach would be to raise awareness among companies so this cycle is truly broken, and bring a bit more humanity into creating a more comfortable work environment
