[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been very dissapointing for many college students who believed they secured a good summer opportunity. They should have honored the internships this year and made changes for the following.[/quote]

I work at a federal agency, and honestly I don’t know now what we would do with an intern - have them hold people’s hands while they cry? Walk up and down the security lines to enter the building with water? Help housekeeping dust and vacuum the empty cubicles where our probationary employees, and next our RIFed employees, used to work?

Maybe it will be better by the summer, but it’s for the intern’s own mental health to not be around while an agency is systematically sucked dry.

I had an intern coming in and we are still fully functioning, we still are responsible for all of our duties. They would do exactly what they were gonna be hard to do anyway.

Also, internships aren’t just to get work out of people it’s to entice them to wanna work there at a later date and to have a more robust set of graduating students to employ.[/quote]

+1. We have an intern coming over the summer. They’ll be doing the work interns always do. It’s not like the work has stopped. Now there’s just fewer people to do it all.[/quote]
