[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you get fired from an internship? We get a lot of summer interns but I have never seen anyone getting fired. Sex in the office? Getting drunk in the office? Drug??[/quote]

I've had to deal with some real dud interns, but never fired any of them. Been sorely tempted, but just remind myself they are leaving at the end of the summer and I never have to deal with them again. So I, too, am wonder what exactly OP's kid did to get fired![/quote]

Same at my large IT consulting firm. I’ve never heard of an intern being fired - just not offered a position at the end of their internship. I think you’d have to do something pretty bad to get fired along the lines of breaching client data, stealing, falsely recording work hours, etc. [/quote]

I heard that the intern who added golf clubs and a second eagle head to the US Seal... that intern got fired.[/quote] I would applaud that intern, not punish. :) [/quote]

DP.  Really?  It is one thing to not support a value system.  It is completely another to desecrate something that others value and hold in high stead.  I know you think you're being "cute" and even probably that your snark is laudable but it actually is quite disgusting.

What is it of yours that you hold in high value that you would approve of someone violating?  If you say 'nothing' then we know that the only thing you value is yourself.  And that would be a sad testament to your lack of a value system.

That intern should not only have been fired but he or she should have been criminally prosecuted for vandalizing public property.[/quote]
