Be The Over-Achieving Intern Who Uncovers A Massive Corporate Fraud Day

Be The Over-Achieving Intern Who Uncovers A Massive Corporate Fraud Day!

Today, you're going to discover that the Files Clerk who collects funds for the kitchen snacks has been skimming 30% off the top for herself. Report her. She'll have to be fired because, though it just amounts to around eleven or twelve dollars a month, it's theft. The Files Clerk is 61 years old and she's raising her grandson because her daughter was murdered by her husband nine years ago.

No one will be happy about this. You'll get a begrudging pat on the back, but word will quietly spread through the floor that you ruined somebody they all kind of liked, even though she was taking home cash earmarked for Stella D'oro Breadsticks. No one will speak kindly to you for the rest of the summer. One morning, just before you go back to school in the fall, one of your angrier supervisors will tell you to think about human beings first and about getting a leg up second. A few years from now, when you inquire for a recommendation, your calls will be avoided.
