(Which the company doesn't want to waste any time training on, since OP will only be there for 3 months.) I'm just imagining if we had a 3-mo intern in our area, and we had them doing, say, some manual file cleanouts. If they said, "Hey, give me programming tasks!" I'd say, "Dude, I don't have time to train you on our systems before you'd be leaving. Can you help us out with the file cleanouts or not?" | |
