Unofficial Rules for Summer Interns

I'm quite sure this subject has been posted before, but since the small firm I work for has hired an intern in extreme violation of the "unwritten" rules, I figured I'll start a post again. Please feel free to add on to this list as you wish.

Here are the first 2 rules our intern is breaking: 1. Clothing options: Make sure your clothes fit correctly, and DON'T flash the Rolex your daddy bought you around for everyone to see. We don't care about the Rollie. 2. We already know your daddy is rich (you were hired so we can sell the business for him next year), so don't drive his Dodge Viper to work, and say it is yours.

If you haven't been given any work for a while, what's the best way to ask to leave? Do they usually just send you home or does everyone leave together?

jackofalltradesIn my group our VP has a giant bell that he rings when it's okay for the team to leave. We all gather in his office and hold hands on the way to the elevator.

Brilliant. Is it right next to his conch shell/horn that calls everyone in at 8am on Saturday?
