A staff restaurant
mysoline 50 Part of the problem is that in many companies an intern's role (indeed, the point of them even being there) is unclear to everybody, including those tasked with supervising them. So, interns end up being given jobs simply "to keep them busy" or "to give them some experience". From here, it's easy for a "good" intern to create an entire unpaid role that wasn't there before, first for themselves and then for the next intern who replaces them when they can't afford to do it any more. Their time-poor colleagues may not even realise they aren't being paid. Or they may view unpaid internships as a rite of passage, forgetting that in their day they lasted only a few weeks, whereas today's interns toil for months or even?years.
