I am the newest middle manager at my institution, and in the past, all manager-level staff have been required to attend the county’s leadership training, which consists of a full-day workshop once a month for nine months. It costs my institution a fair amount of money to send people to this training, and now it is my turn.
open thread - January 27-28, 2023 — Ask a Manager
Certain fields (at least in the US) really emphasize a professional dresscode, and treat it as shorthand for how serious you are about your work –‘dress for success’, ‘dress for the job you want, not the job you have’, and so on. (Lawyers are a big, well-known one there. Even in non-legal professions, you can often recognize the one person with a law degree in the room, because they’re at least one level fancier than their peers – at least in my experience.)Very good point – the intern doesn’t know what they should or shouldn’t be doing, and really doesn’t have any perspective on what would or wouldn’t be useful to the company. Odds are they would “improve” something that is working just fine, or that needs to work in a particular way because of something the intern is not aware of, and so would cause a lot of hassle and cost the company time/money.

Written by Kiron Bondale, who is a proud owner of multiple accolades and years of experience in the project management arena, this blog is a resource documented straight from his vast experience of working with various projects. Kiron understands first-hand the ease of project management practices in theory and equal difficulty in implementation. From Dale’s perspective OP is the one that assigns them work and finds things for them to do. Maybe they didn’t phrase it the best way but it’s clear what they meant. During this internship OP has been coordinating their (the interns) workload so it is not an unreasonable assumption. How does Dale know what OPs main role is (to advance projects).
Why it’s important to be able to talk to your manager
No, you’re not in the wrong; in fact, your boss is breaking the law. Federal age discrimination law (which protects people aged 40 and up) makes what your boss is doing explicitly illegal. Legally, you can’t hold a candidate’s age (if over 40) against them, which includes things like rejecting a candidate because you assume their age means you can’t afford them. If you’re someone new to project management or need career counseling tips, The Camel Blog is the place to go. The blog also focuses on personal development tips and techniques. 24. Project Bliss But you’re right to worry that how you do it can have the effect of normalizing behavior that shouldn’t be normalized.
