Funny intern stories in 140 characters
This is my third week of compiling a list of the funniest internship-related tweets. Kudos to the tweeters who write cute, interesting, wonderful things about their interns/internships. But for everyone else, I have two pieces of advice:
Interns -- Stop publicly bashing your bosses on Twitter.
Bosses -- Stop publicly bashing your interns on Twitter.
(Actually, please keep going. This is a lot of fun.)
