MD keeps threatening return offer

Working as an intern. Dick of an MD keeps making a shit joke where he’s serious and half joking about I have to “stay on the right track”, “do what he says” etc… to “pass his screening”.

These jokes are fucking annoying, my work is perfect, the output I do is great and I can’t be bothered dealing with such an insecure insincere prick who wants to see submission to feed their ego.

I just act unaware and say “sorry I don’t understand what you mean” and “can you repeat that again” for him to realise his jokes aren’t funny (especially in front of others) and no one is laughing but any advice would be appreciated as I want to put them to sleep.

Not sure if it's you or him with the ego. Suck it up

 

You're an intern, your work probably is not as perfect as you think. What will actually lose you the return is being an egotistical junior that can't take a joke. Take yourself a little less seriously, realize the guy is joking, and laugh at his jokes.

 

You are absolutely in the wrong here lol. The fact that you can't take his jokes might actually mean you don't get a return offer. 

 

Hopefully you didn't blow this up. Also it's March, not sure where you're interning 

 

God, doesn't it just suck when your boss, who probably has decades more experience and success, doesn't acknowledge that actually he should be learning from the you, and that really you the intern are the intelligent one with the flawless work product and really you should be MD and not him?
