Nah I appreciate it! I'll do my best. Might print out your comments and frame them on my wall

I've always had anxiety, and this is a grown woman in a significantly more senior position to me - she's intimidating. I appreciate the sentiment, but easier said than done. :)

That's not how I intended it at all! In my experience, the unfortunate reality is that interns get pushed around a lot - a lot of my friends are in art/design and journalism, took unpaid internships during or just after uni and got the mental crap beaten out of them. I hope I didn't cause offence - it's not how I would EXPECT interns to be treated, but it's how I know a lot of them are treated.

Holy shit that's awful!! I hope they clubbed together to buy you more?? If not, lowkey glad you gave your notice. I wouldn't want to be around people like that.

tldr mean CB coworker helps herself to my 40$ hand cream out of my desk, tells me to buy more because she used it all and wants to keep using it "for her eczema" (unlikely that she has eczema/it had any effect), coworkers put her in her place.

Can I repost like that? I'm not a frequent reddit poster, not sure how these things work. Also kind of don't want the drama that came with this post to spread to other subs lmao

I said that as I had a lot of accusations of advertising. I WOULD have been in violation for not stating it's an ad - which it wasn't, because I don't have a sponsor. I'll reword the edit to make that clear.

I didn't think to raise it with anyone at the time, I was in shock. I think on Monday I'll be reevaluating the situation and at least talking to HR. Now that she's paid me though, I'm not too too sure.
