  1. Mr Moritz was one of many interns often caught on the 'Magic Roundabout', where a luxury taxi takes interns home, waits outside while they quickly shower and change, then drives them back to the office to begin another long day.

    FinanceInterns, a careers advice group, condemned the long hours culture. A spokesperson said: "Young people who jubilantly accept a Summer Internship, thinking they've landed a chance at their full-time dream job, find themselves declaring that, what should have been a summer full of hope, is in fact the 'worst three months' of their lives due to the exhausting combination of regular all-nighters, weekend work and the Magic Roundabout.

    there were 45,000 applicants for a free, 100-hour internship, working for a google think tank. 99% of them said they would work until they were hospitalized, knowing that they are sheep and they understand the rules of the game. 95% said they would clean bathrooms for 1 year if it meant an executive would talk to them for 5-minutes.

    sorry, everyone is not equal.
     
  8. Very true. Some folks are just morons.
