I recently started a summer internship at a medium-sized finance firm, and honestly it’s been a terrible experience so far. I’m 19 and this is my first internship ever, so maybe my expectations were unrealistic, but this place feels completely dysfunctional.
First problem: there’s barely any work. I constantly have to go around asking different people and departments if they have anything for me to do. And when I do get work, it’s usually very basic Excel tasks. During the interview they kept talking about how much I’d learn, so I expected something more structured or at least somewhat challenging.
But honestly, the bigger issue is the people there.
The environment is incredibly unprofessional. People are constantly yelling and cursing at each other across the office. They also keep making jokes about me being an intern. They mock the fact that I’m unpaid, even though it’s literally just a 2-month summer internship. The worst part is that even seniors and managers join in and laugh. Since I’m the youngest person there, everyone acts like they’re above me.
I’ve even told them multiple times that I don’t like these jokes and asked them to stop, but they don’t respect my boundaries at all. Instead, they started joking about how I “can’t tolerate jokes.” Honestly, every time they do this I feel like crying. I genuinely feel like I don’t even get the basic respect every human being deserves.
There have also been moments that made me really uncomfortable. I caught one of the managers checking out my ass, which honestly creeped me out.
At the beginning of the internship, we worked on a project as a team and there were some errors in it. Everyone immediately blamed me, even though the mistakes were actually from another new employee who was assigned that section. I kept trying to explain that, but nobody listened. Ever since then they joke about how I “always fuck up,” and now they barely assign me anything because they assume I’ll make mistakes.
What makes it worse is that they give half instructions, explain things poorly, and then expect perfect results.
I genuinely hate it here and I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if this workplace is actually as bad as it feels.
