My job is like Workaholics
So...yea reflecting back on one of my internships at an insurance firm 2 years ago. Me and two of my roommates landed cold calling internships called "recruiting interns" we essentailly had to cold call constantly and schedule meetings for a financial advisor. We had no supervisor and pretty much thrown into cubicles to do work without any formal training or quota to meet. We had a script to read off of lmao....I remember going to work absolutely blitzed/hungover with the roommates..one time the roommate left work in the middle of his shift still clocked in to go to the mall...no one there noticed. A lot of the times we closed a few deals and just messed around on the internet...the worst part was this firm was a Fortune 500 firm, so we all expected to do legitimate work. Atleast it had some resume merit..
Good times and experience, thoughts and anyone else have stories like this? Pretty slow day at work right now
I had an internship like that. If I wasn't doing grunt work, I usually went online for fun or read my books or worked on my technicals. Sometimes, I went for walks around the office/outside, and chatted with my colleagues. From my experience, and it sounds like your's as well, it's not the firm that sucks, but your group/your FA.
Exactly, I just wasn't given any meaningful duties. Just seemed so worthless and which quicly developed that "I don't care" mentality. quickly.
My first internship was about as worthless. Out of an eight hour day I probably did half an hour worth of work and I don't even put it on my resume. I spent the entire time applying to better jobs.
Did you do shrooms in the office as well?
I've always wanted to give those a whirl
... you're missing out.
Indeed. Honestly I think I could go to work on a trip sometimes.
