This viral video of an ‘intern’ who incurred an enormous (and enormously unnecessary) expense is a wild ride from start to finish
We remember doing work experience back in the day and our attitude could be pretty much summed up by ‘wouldn’t say boo to a goose’. And also ‘please, give me anything to do other than the filing’.
Certainly we never found ourselves in a position where we’d be responsible for buying anything, and if we had we’re pretty sure we wouldn’t have ended up in a situation like this.
It’s an intern who incurred and enormous (and enormously unnecessary) expense and the video of the company’s response – and the exchange that followed – has just gone wildly viral on Twitter.

Can it be real? We’d be tempted to suggest not, and yet if we’ve learned anything from the last few years (plot twist – we haven’t learned anything) is that it’s just too difficult to tell these days.
It prompted no end of responses as you might imagine. Here are just a few of the most popular.
Balls! Give her a promotion.

It seems it’s 4 a company retreat. Retreats are the height of workplace privilege. It’s probably a job where everything is top of the line because they ‘deserve it’ She sounds like it’s par for the course & is surprised she’s in trouble.

That concern is above my pay grade, I was entertained and that's enough for me
