[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again (wow this blew up from yesterday).  The intern was not required to write a handwritten letter, just put letters in the outgoing mail.  And they did so with no address.  They didn't get a bad reference, but we simply wouldn't be able to write/say many positive things about him (can't say he works hard, can't say he is a problem-solver, can't say he pays attention to details, etc).  And for most of them, they do the internship to have it on their resume before other jobs and/or graduate school.

And there are plenty of folks supervising he could have asked for help.  We have administrative staff.  The quality of interns is simply going down over time.  On the upside, the competent ones really stand out!

OP. Per your own words you said you wouldnt give a good reference for this mail issue. People are just responding to your own words? Are you sloppy perhaps?

I still don't understand the mail issue especially now that you said it was multiple letters. How would this person even know whom they went to? Obviously there was a lack of instruction on this task. You haven't said what industry you are in and why someone who was an intern needed to know this. Typically these are done with labels that are printed and then put on the envelope. The fact that no one in your office inspected a ton of letters as well shows lack of competency on thr company. There should have been some list, Avery labels made, inspections of what went in these letters and then inspections that all the letters were addressed correctly. This isnt some one off letter where you told the person to send one letter to someone using the address in an email. Now you are admitting it was a series of letters. You did what exactly with this task? Now you sound unbelievable because if multiple letters had to be sent out then it would have been very important to make sure they were done correctly and a good manager would have inspected these before going out. No one trained this intern and that was on the company. [/quote]
