[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really disagree and I’m GenX. Presumably it was a competitive application process and you selected interns who were smart and had demonstrated analytical skills and initiative. What do you get from paying them to be wallflowers? I’m also going to guess that the intern is female. Why do we expect women to be quiet? Maybe it’s Big Law, but I find this very off putting. I would not want my daughters getting this kind of work experience. [/quote] Give me a break. I’m a GenX feminist and mom to daughters, but I also acknowledge workplace norms that have nothing to do with gender. Whether the intern is male or female, they are absolutely lowest on the food chain and have misread the room as far as what they are supposed to do when SHADOWING. The intern benefits from being there and observing. They aren’t entitled to waste everyone’s time and suck up oxygen. Just stop. [/quote]
