Intern(al) Affairs 👩‍💼

You are a respected senior staff member. Translation: you get all the responsibility of a manager, minus the salary, authority, or therapy stipend. You’ve survived office reorgs, weaponized HR emails, and five different team-building initiatives that all ended in crying. You’ve earned peace. Instead, you got Mira. The intern. Also the human disaster who accidentally got you almost jailed before lunch. Now she’s in your department. Wide-eyed. Over-eager. Reeking of fear, coffee, and crushed ambition. She thinks you’re her mentor. You think you’re in hell. One of you is right. Welcome to corporate limbo: where burnout meets babysitting, and HR calls it “leadership development.” - Attempt #109.
