shes naked

wth is this place

ur discrediting them that they may have requested tasks but maybe ignored by their lead and with no working experience & social experience they were afraid to approach their manager as it would bring trouble to their lead which in turn set trouble among themselves?

if u are the manager, you should keep at least a weekly update from the lead and from the interns, not just sit there and assume they are alright like Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

if no tasks were given to interns u should be able to tell by shooting few simple questions, then you call the lead in and ask him to explain why the interns aren't improving.

i can tell you most leads aren't interested in training interns because they aren't part of the fulltime team and they know they will most likely leave after finishing their internship and they know in such short time it's hard to train them to be actually helpful, so they are deadweight, might as well let them rot and focus on own work.

if the lead is Indian Expat, expect even worse.

26 years old Intern, Segi Grad.
First impression was she was pretty smart and intelligent, had lots of certs and CGPA was pretty decent.
But the red flag was that she left several courses unfinished and switched over to another.
Head of HR decided to hire her anyway.
I left by the time she came in, but I heard from my ex colleagues that her true colors came out after she became an intern.
Wearing spaghetti straps (covered with cardigan) to a formal dress code office, using the patients' room to sleep, changing her top in front of everyone.
One day, it seems she had enough and decided to throw in her resignation letter and never turned up.
The head had to call her back in to office for her to show her face.
Eventually they decided they didn't want her too, so they fired her.

if solitaire or those puzzle games can la..starcraft and do work? Starcraft alone fill up ur screen d

That explains my intern now..not much of work to do.
But now getting better la, at least I handle the company facebook, got smth to do.

cheapo labour also fired

intern cost prolly Rm300-500/month oni

if i am the permanent staff i will worry about that company futures.

for 6 months he been working

at 5th month , i ask him a simple question
2 of our company product , how you differential it ??

but he cannot answer..........
now you know why 6 months

my intern more powerful
immediately after punch in and open laptop, terus watch Youtube
after I back from pantry he still watch Youtube
free time? play Dota. play fckg Dota during office hour! and their seat even @ the entrance and staff walking around was like "wtf?"

and you didn't mention, intern is a must for some to complete their degree, they might not be interested to work as an employee, or interested in the field they study at all. which explains why they ular & don't have any responsibilities.

but you, as their guide, should figure out who is really interested in learning & working, and who doesn't. then don't spend so much time on those that clearly aren't interested. but you should try to get them interested 1st. if you already assume, u just let them rot, ur not doing any good either.

Think back of it I don't blame seniors for not putting interns at 100% effort. They are bound to leave, the scope of responsibilities has a limit as well, and it's more of a risk to waste effort guiding important tasks for interns rather than simple ones. Even myself can't trust a lazy technician, what's not an intern? That said I've intern two places before, one was at accenture. Both places there's limitations in the extent of the tasks, and I admit I had my fair share watching movies secretly also. But that didn't mean I am a lazy ass, I performed well but just that my maturity level was to play at the age of 21. Just admit it only 10% of that age don't take things seriously. Like my peers who were the same, came out successful in career also.

just ask a intern to resign last saturday

already working for 6 month still dont know a shit what he doing, ask him spend more time on work
to familiarize the job instead of going home on time at 5.30 everyday.

you know what he answer me ???
"saya nak jaga gerai burger kat sebelah malam"

WTF if you think your burger stall is more important then you job , your welcome to leave 

there's always some non-senior or junior that can act as guide.

unless the company biz really good or really short of staff, then they should not accept any interns.

got any story? want know some

I have a story.
The intern was a foreigner. When started working, day 1 already screwing up project.
Day after day, the intern screwed up even more. Koliks only then realized the intern used fake resume.
The intern's english language so crappy till communication also a problem to us. The intern can't understand what koliks were talking about.
Even koliks and i used the most basic english telling the intern what to do, the intern still can screwed up the work.
The intern dont really know use a pc, worse than first time user.
koliks also scared give any work to the intern.
The intern everyday go office enjoy air con, no do anything contribute to the company and pandai pandai self approved leave LOL. 
In the end, received scolding from boss directly and fired after a week or so.
