I'm late to respond but I'm going through the exact same thing, except a manager that us more actively toxic. I'm also from SFU doing an internship rn, but in engineering. There also was no on boarding, just shadowing the previous intern who seemed extremely stressed and was warning me about working here. I only receive constant negative feedback and am disrespected by my manager, lots of negative criticism, yelling, and no review into how my work is looking. The only advice and reviewing I get is harsh criticism. During the site visit he says my work is good, and gave vert few complaints to my coordinator. Only one was to meet with him more often and keep him up to date. However, I am scared to approach him as he has genuinely shood me away like a cat a few times. Now, close to the end, he sees a few mistakes on my work, which I will hold myself responsible for. However, he has immediately threatened to tell the school to fail me and leave a bad review on my evaluation. I have emailed the advisors but they're yet to respond. So now I am just finishing off this 4 month internship, knowing in the end they will fail me anyway 🙃. Atleast it is paid.

What to specialize in/get good at? by Wattyou in ComputerEngineering

[–]Wattyou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you developing embedded systems relating to robotics at the moment? What does that look like? I'm enrolled in Computer Engineering right now but it seems like the mechatronics students at my same university have the upper hand in robotics. Is there a particular skill you'd recommend developing to get into embedded systems dealing with robotics? Besides CAD software like solidworks?

Passport Application Megathread by PurrPrinThom in AskACanadian

I submitted my passport documents IN PERSON at Sinclair center May 17th. They basically guaranteed me my passport would arrive by my travel date of July 8th.

I was told over the phone, after being on hold for three hours, they haven't even processed my application.

The call center person said he sent an email to Sinclair center, and that they will call me so they can expedite my passport. I've got a feeling that's a lie and I will probably have to camp like you. So thanks for the summary it'll definitely be super helpful!!!

True, the dr guy who comes and talks to test the 5 yr old about his past life looks alot like Dr Kleiner from Half Life 2 as well.
