'Won't provide me a laptop for work? Fine, I won't work then': Low-paid intern stops overworking after company refuses to send them a laptop
This intern was being overworked, and got tired of it pretty quickly.
There's a period of uncertainty between the time you leave college and get your first "real job." Some people spend weeks or months in this period, while others take years to break into their field. It can leave you feeling like you're too experienced for unpaid or entry-level wage internships, but you're also not getting hired as a professional in your field. It leaves you wondering how you'll ever get to that point… and so many college grads end up taking on more internships to build up their resume.
This student, u/dalai_lara, writes that as a new grad with a degree in computer science, they took on an internship that was supposed to convert to a full-time job. Almost every internship I've ever heard of offers this, and it seems like 99.9% of them are lying about it. Nearly every company that hires interns promises them that if they work hard and impress the team, they could have a spot at the company. And of course, at the end of the internship, these higher-ups just shrug their shoulders and tell the interns that they didn't make the cut. It makes the interns want to work very hard during their tenure at the company, as well as keeping them quiet about any complaints they might have about their salary or working conditions.
