The next day, all of us who signed the petition were called into a meeting where we thought our proposal would be discussed. Instead, we were informed that due to our unprofessional behavior, we were being let go from our internships. We were told to hand in our ID badges and to gather our things and leave the property ASAP.
We were shocked. The proposal was written professionally like examples I have learned about in school, and our arguments were thought out and well-reasoned. We werent even given a chance to discuss it. The worst part is that just before the meeting ended, one of the managers told us that the worker who was allowed to disobey the dress code was a former soldier who lost her leg and was therefore given permission to wear whatever kind of shoes she could walk in. You cant even tell, and if we had known about this we would have factored it into our argument.

I think the facial piercing are now a requirement. LOL! Or some 3” gauges in your ear. WTH? I’d be afraid to get those loops caught in the covers or something.

I had a response every time my troops got together and "decided" how things should be done:

Years ago my staff of 12 doctors all came in unannounced with their written “demands”. All of the doctors were gone within 5 months. Needless to say, their “demands” were “taken into consideration” and ignored. Better replacements were easily hired.

Back in the 1980s and 1990s I showed up for every single job application or interview wearing a suit coat, tie and nice pants.
Dish washer, bus boy, gas station attendant - all of them. That’s just how I was raised. I never thought it unusual but more than a few managers did.
This upcoming generation is soft in body and mind. Its amazing.

Yeah, wake up call for modern grads, but more of treating interns like slaves isn’t good either.

Next step, storm the CEO's office and stage a sit-in. Better work up a good chant first, though. Hmmmm... how about "The interns, united, will never be terminated!" Nah, too many syllables at the end. But they can work it out, maybe Melissa Click is available to advise them since she's between jobs.

How about: "Hey, hey, ho, ho, this companies dress code has to go!"
LOL, sounds like they need this instead:

Wow. Just think how they’re going to react when America falls to Sharia law? And they thought just by giving savages a big, sloppy kiss, everybody would love them.

not at all. Interns have no contract or even assurances of employment. Obviously, they weren’t a fit for that particular ‘corporate culture.’

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that this was a minimum wage job. I worked it in the evening because I love books and got a good discount, which I spent some of my pay on. The rest I spent on my Wife ;-)

Interns? LMAO. The boss isn’t interested in your “proposals”, kiddies.
