it's all "the dignity of a human is untouchable" and "flat hierarchies" until you're a student intern. but it's not your first job, so you don't take any shit from the boss and don't suck up to him. You talk to him like an equal. and then suddenly in your feedback meeting it's "you acted like our boss and that was really inappropiate"

#this was 2020 but this is an issue I still have #started a job as a student assistant and sometimes my colleagues will tell me about work to be done #and I don't get that they're trying to push it on me #and I'm supposed to be the grateful humble student who absolutely is ready to go and do it for them #and I was like “okay but if you gotta call XY anyways then why don't you tell him about the progess on the project”#and yes #I am aware that it's also my behavior and I also need to adapt to this structure #it's just ridiculous #rant #btw I'm definetly not lazy #I just have 5 years of work experience on my back at this point and got myself close enough to burn out in my early twenties #sorry for knowing my worth #work ethic #worker's rights
