To management: “I am surprised you no longer use interns in your organization.”Management’s reply: “We haven’t really. We just call them what they really are – slaves”

When Justin Bieber first started to become popular among our daughters’ peers, we decided to give him a listen along with them. My husband and I kept our opinions (both verbal and non-verbal) to ourselves. When the video for “Baby Baby” was done, we asked them what they thought. Our younger one: “He sings like a girl.” Our older one: “He needs to learn HOW to sing!” Yes, we dodged the Bieber Bullet!
“During the last five years or so, interns have actually had to pay, for the privilege of working for nothing.”.Not unlike an apprenticeship program of old. You pay for the privilege of learning a trade worth much more..There is a big difference, though.Unlike slavery, participation in internship is completely voluntary.
Interns are working for experience, on the job training, and good references. Very valuable commodities, They are not property and can quit at any time, so they are not slaves by any stretch of the imagination.
many cases just “joined themselves” to people to work without pay other than food, clothing, shelter, protection from others. They were always free to leave but felt safer where they were (until they didn’t.).
