There exist many, many internships where you're either Chief Coffee Delivery Technician or you spend all of your productive time on scutwork that no one could convince a FTE to do. Examples elided to protect the guilty.
- dpweb 13y agoI was an intern 20 years ago, then or now if someone told me to get coffee I'd probably throw it in their face. I've (thankfully) never seen that. Have seen em do data entry, but at our company they write production code. I've seen guys condescend to them. They should shut up. These kids are smart and would gladly do their job for half the salary starting tomorrow. My point is, anyone making over 80k/$40 an hour making their own flight arrangements, filling out their own expense reports, is a waste of valuable time. If I have a guy billing out $200/hr - he's in the office 8 or 9 hours a day max - (most people start and end work the same time everyday) - I don't want him wasting time on that crap. Needs an AA to do it. (Note our expense system sucks and our requirements are exact - you can easily spend an hour on an expense report)..
