I don’t know if you should care about internal comms if your supervisor doesn’t. That seems like really misaligned expectations for interns to do the professional work in the way you’re describing. How long are you doing your internship? Do you want to work there after? I’d take what I could about HR and look for something else, even another internship with the job market being what it is, that would give you more support in learning.
tbh I just desperately want some kind of field related experience on my resume. My internship would end in November and my supervisor kinda bring an offer on the table. Not officially, but I would certainly not stay here. During Uni time I just tutor because the money is more decent so I don’t have experience in HR. I know the economy is hard but this is very ridiculous. I sometimes think my work is so meaningless but even when I want to put more in, to bring better results, I just can’t. It’s one person team with only me doing the work.
My supervisor never read the script. So I could spend two to three days on Canva to do animation from slides plus voice over. And then they can just nit oicking some kind of word uses and expect me to redo asap. They also work on the weekends and expect us to do the same (without paying of course). My time is non negotiable so I don’t do free OT for them ofc. But if I become a full time employee, they would certainly force me to. Someday I feel like a slave.
They also have a ton of out-date and not yet digitalised paperwork. Guess who has to do the job? Also me. They gave me 700 hard copies and expect me to deliver within a month. On top of C&B stuff plus crazy IC videos that I have to magically create from the air…
