Intern keeps sleeping at work - what to tell them
Ignore title. Associate 3 and recently seen one of my favorite interns falling asleep during meetings and on the desk. Love them and want them to get the return but how do I make sure they stay awake? MDs have noticed and so have VPs and they’re not too happy about it. Thinking of pulling them aside and checking if everything is okay at home but they aren’t overstaffed or anything so not sure what to tell them
Is this UBS?
Are interns really pushing 100+ hour weeks to the point they are sleeping on the desk?
Yes but very group dependent
Introduce him to the world of quad espressos
time for him to meth around
"Hey bro, quit falling asleep at work or you won't get a return offer."
Simple.
You have any friends from Colombia?
Tell em to order a bottle of caffeine pills from Amazon and stop doomscrolling at home and get some fucking sleep
Caffeine pills are so fire
do they actually work? feel like I tried 100mg ones before and didn’t really feel anything
prob he grinded so much for the offer that he already hit the desk burned out lmao
Adderall. NY Psychiatric Associates has done wonders for me. Virtual appointments and they make everything seamless.
If you’re an associate (especially associate 3) you shouldn’t have to ask a question like this in a forum.
Seems like you lack basic leadership/mentoring ability. I am sorry for the analysts on your team.
This is an extremely simple situation actually. Tell them to stop falling asleep, people have noticed, and then have a conversation about why they’re so tired. WTF did you expect people to say? Start crushing up caffeine pills or adderall and secretly add it to their water?
Seems fairly easy but with today's kids you just never know. Some take extreme offense to simple feedback like "stay awake at work" and start building an entire case against the messenger when the offer does not come. I would almost advise OP to not say anything and let the chips fall where they may.
It’s not a matter of today’s kids being soft. It’s a matter of OP, as a more senior member of the team, communicating to a more junior team member. Simple talk about how their behavior/actions are being perceived and how it is likely to affect them, what the expectations are, and how to improve. You don’t have to be a dick about it—literally just a conversation…
Real talk what do you guys do to not doze off? I get so sleepy during the day sometimes, but aside from locking myself in a room and napping for 5 minutes I have no solutions
Let me introduce you to my good friend prescription stimulants
what if i'm mormon 😢
