(54,330 posts)The competent ones who have a decent work ethic have no problems.
But the ones from the "name" schools, where they never should have gotten in to begin with, well some of them treat their posting to Germany as a sort of extended paid vacation. They came flashing their diplomas, figuring that was enough to let them off the hook while everyone else busted their hump to get the work done.
My daughter's projects are a team effort, and if some of the team figures they need not do anything because of their diplomas, the rest of the team has work doubly hard--not only to cover the work the interns SHOULD have done, but also to correct the mistakes in their half-assed work. That is arrogant, it is mean, and it is downright wrong. If they want an extended European vacation, let Daddy pay for four months on the Riviera or something. I say bravo for making them see reality in no uncertain terms. She probably did them a favor in the long run. Giving them a free ride will never teach them to develop a better work ethic down the road.
