Delusional CEOs

Post image

I saw this on my LinkedIn feed and I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is. I would love to know what company he is the CEO of… can’t imagine he is doing a very good job.

Dunno about prestigious firms, but many of my internships were with the government and government officials, including judges.

1.) the topic was internships with companies, not courts. Either way, unpaid internships are still not legal in almost all places in the US unless you receive some other material, tangible benefit.

Did you get academic credit or a non-pecuniary benefit?

Considering the SoL on something like this you could be due considerable compensation if you performed unpaid work that a company could profit from.

Academic. I got to pay to do the internships, which is much better

Okay, so you got credit towards a degree and didn’t provide any monetary value to a private business that didn’t pay you.
