Here's an intern cringe story that I've heard:

>Goldman Sachs
>At a desk, there was an Associate, Managing Director (old dude), and a summer intern (who just gets to watch the MD work)
>MD types like a fucking grandpa, one finger at a time
>MD misses comma
>Intern notices, and like a smarmy fuck, says to the MD: "I think you forgot a comma"
>The MD looks back and stares him down
>The Associate stifles back laughter
>MD: "And I think you need to get the fuck out."
>He was dead serious
>That intern did not get a full-time offer

More?

Top kek, would've done the same.

>>1028446
Probably the same. Millennials are ADD, narcissistic idiots. Never disrespect your elders. I kiss ass at my internship.

>>1028392
>>1028446
>Getting bungblasted that someone pointed out the retarded old cuck forgot a comma

Literally wat desu

>>1028453

That retarded old cuck makes more in a month than you, your father, and your father's father could make in your combined lifetimes. Not even mad, just being honest.

>>1028451
Kissing as and sucking dick only gets you so far. You need to be a fucking solid leader that knows old farts can't compete with nowadays people that are actually keeping up to date with technology, to become a higher-up. You need to be able to have a sense of direction and you fucking know it that if that fucking asshole can't type properly it is a waste of time and you should just hire someone else that can actually get the job done faster to delegate more tasks to.
You must have some fucking balls to make it. Or join the other ass kissing fuckers that suck dick and can't lead because of too much asskissing.

>>1028465
In the end, that doesn't matter. He still forgot the comma. If the intern was being condesencing/dickish like you said, yeah I can see an issue, but typos have costed companies millions before.

That said, more stories please.

>>1028465
And?

That's arrogant as fuck to cover up your mistakes and say "I-i make more money than you! Agree with everything I say or else ur fired fag".

It doesn't really matter who made the mistake or who corrected it, it was still made.

>>1028504
It was an inconsequential comma, like in some email or something. Obviously diction is important, but it was so trivial in this case that it made the kid look like such a cunt lol

More stories:

>BNP Paribas
>It's a busy day midway through the summer of 2012
>On their trading floor, interns sit behind sales members and watch them work
>Some interns frequently ask questions, many stay quiet to avoid saying something stupid
>Market's finally closed, everyone's sicks and tired of everyone else, especially of the fucking interns
>But one intern sees an opportunity to engage with the higher ups
>He goes up to a group of VPs and asks
>"You guys wanna go see that new Batman movie this Saturday?"
>A 19 year old kid is asking a bunch of 30-50 year old men if they want to go with him to see a comic book movie
>Two of the VPs fucking DIE laughing
>It becomes a huge inside joke to ask "hey, batman this saturday? maybe dinner and a movie?"
>The joke goes so far that the two VPs force their IT department to add a fucking Bat Signal emoji to their internal company chatting service (that they use to communicate with other BNP trading floors around the globe)
>A fucking Bat Signal emoji
>The intern did not receive an offer

>>1028538
Fucking spergs when will they learn.

Don't know if it is cringe but I have a shitty story for you kids.
>be me, kid 17
>have job delivering special subscriber newspapers
>shit job but pays well so whatever
>quit job when moving abroad
>still 3 months preparing before leaving
>boss needs someone to fill in a week of work because other kids are shit at the job and he fired my replacement
>basically begs me over phone
>negotiate a great payment
>he tells me he will take care of it
weeks later in after that week
>abroad and checking bank account
>see no deposits
>whatthefuck.jpg
>call him the fuck up
>tells me not to worry
>I no worry
>forget about it and do my actual job
>months later still no payment
>text him some arrogant messages basically telling him how incapable he is and that he should get his shit together
>he tells me I should take care of it then
>tell him sure I will
>ask him what I could do being away
>explains to me that my payment went to another guy and he has to pay me
>ask him to give me his contact information
>hides behind "can't give out personal contact information"
>get frustrated and tell him to fuck off
>after weeks again I ring him up and ask him where my fucking money is
>makes immediate payment after
>mfw only 30 euro's
>fucking mad at this point
>text him I want all details of how and why it is only 30 black on white
>just let it slide after he responds with 638372771 pages long angry text
>feel satisfied that I made him rage
>am making more money than him
>he is three times my age
>i kek and delete him from contacts

I am now a personal assistant of a CEO that runs a shitty company and is making losses rapidly, but I get paid nonetheless for mediocre tasks.

>>"You guys wanna go see that new Batman movie this Saturday?"
>>A 19 year old kid is asking a bunch of 30-50 year old men if they want to go with him to see a comic book movie

This is what will happen if you tell anyone serious you play videogaymes.

I warned you guys about the videogaymes, it wasn't a meme. Keep your manchild comic book and children's games away.

Of course there's the guy who I will not name who had an idea that wiuld revolutionize the world. He made multiple threads alluding to his miracle device, asking about how to raise capitol, start his business, asking about NDAs and prototypes etc.

Finally we got him to reveal his idea: it was a tortilla chip warmer for home use, to give you "that classic Mexican restaraunt experience at home".
Pic related was his prototype.

>>1028617
I actually like the idea and passion of Riley. Seems like the tortilla chip warmer could unironically become successful.

Marvelling at Ms Gao's delusions of grandeur, one unkind colleague praised her email as the "best yet", while another wrote in the forwarded email: "As previously discussed ... maybe we need to revisit the intern selection criteria. I think the emphasis on control may be too high!"

A spokeswoman for the company, one of the world's biggest financial services firms, refused to comment. But a colleague was amazed at the attention the invitation has drawn. "It's very unfortunate. I can't believe people keep calling."

------------------------------------------------------------

despite all this she landed a job at MS once she graduated...

>>1028665

Landing a job at MS isn't too difficult coming out of Oxford Uni with internship experience at Citi. Also, she probably used her Chinese name to hide from embarrassment lol

>>1028675
she probably used her rich chinese parents and their connections more like

she works in wealth management....

>>1028682

There's a rich kid at my school who's only internship experience is with MS in Wealth Management

It all makes sense now

>>1028511
welcome to capitalism

>>1028812
Even if a mistake was made pointing it out is the most annoying thing in the universe,
Imagine statistics class at the 3rd year of university
>proffessor makes a mistake
>a retard mama's boy points out the mistake
>ekskuse mi you mized a eqkual signz
>everyone now knows he is a retard
>everyone knew there was a mistake and just corrected it on their paper
You sound obnoxious as fuck,have no contibution to class and nterupt the lecture

>>1028468
> he thinks the business world is rational or effieient.
The whole corporate world is fucked. The only thing that matters is Class and connections, and luck.

God, I forgot how dumb 19 year olds can be.
We need to bring back breeding. "Well bread" used to mean something you know

>>1029689
No, I never claimed or even implied that. Just said that following the sheep doesn't get you anywhere. Leaders only follow leaders that are greater or equal at leading people. Nobody follows or listens to an ass kissing, dick sucking suck up.
