Huh? Sounds like he was trusted, but they verified his work. Trust != blindly accepting someone's work. And in the end, this intern violated the trust that _had_ been placed in him, and he was shown the door. Rightfully so.
Yes, part of growing up is making mistakes. But, part of growing up is also living with the consequences of your mistakes. And, yes, I've made some mistakes in my youth (hell, even as an adult) that have led to professional consequences, including termination.
- oneepic 2y agoWhen I say trust, I mean trusting his ability to learn and grow, even in a behavioral sense. If you trust that, then you can talk to him first and then make a fair judgement about whether he's changed or not. Further, it's up to every manager and employer if they want to continue this kind of fear and punishment, or accept and correct mistakes. I don't think the entire professional world acts like this in reality, only in dystopian entertainment and nightmares.
