Interning now at a corporate company.
Advertisements
A non-executive staff saw me on the first day and started to talk to other colleagues about my appearance as a student.
After she went about that, she also started to talk to me rudely, criticising me and yelling at me many times.
I would often give in and do what she asks of me when she yells at me. She would then proudly tell everyone else that yelling made me obedient.
One other colleague sided me and advised her not to do it, but I still continued to be picked on by her. I tried to tell my boss what happened but I would be ghosted and avoided immediately.

What should I do?

- Of course your boss will ghost you la… not worth getting into trouble with NON-EXECUTIVE staff over a puny intern. Escalate up the reporting chain, best if you get evidence of her screaming at you. Video + audio is always better than audio only.
But of course if you are the kind who doesn’t want to “burn bridges” then suck it up and act like a masochist. - Learn to suck it up. You may not believe it but yelling also happens at management levels. An internship is only temporary. In working life, you just plan your exit strategy accordingly.
- Life as an intern it’s like that. Suck it up.
- Want to play? Play big!! Capture her act , post online. Intern are human too!!
- Yell at her back
