This firing is probably the best lesson learned during the internship for all the petitioners.
Summer interns hired. Rather than considering themselves lucky to have a J-O-B, they set about crafting a petition to change the company, a company they don’t have a friggin’ CLUE about. Further, they choose a completely trivial matter to rail about, the dress code. I’d fire ‘em in a heartbeat—it shows they are concerned about themselves, feel a sense of entitlement. Their opinions are worth squat. Hit the bricks, learn from this error, and don’t repeat it. NO one cares about the opinions of temp workers hired to get their feet wet.
