Banks Are Literally Working Interns To Death

[GoLeft TV]

Banks have always been known to be slimy, greedy institutions that stop at nothing to increase their profit no matter what damage it does to the American economy. Now, they’re going beyond damage to the wallet. They’re literally working their interns to death.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

1. OK, the situation sucks, but...

this kid they're talking about died of an epileptic seizure. Everyone else seems to have gotten out of it alive.

Every doctor out there goes through a similar internship, where maybe patients die, but not the new doctors for lacking sleep.

The comment that an MBA degree is bullshit is out of line and ignorant. Depending upon the field of study, an MBA could be in systems engineering, accounting, economics... Granted many MBAs may be bullshit, but no more so than art appreciation graduate degrees.

And, yes, the salient point was made that these assholes are going into this with their eyes open looking for that pot of gold at the end of the quest.

4. The banks thank you for your work as an apologist.

5. Huh? I'm not apoplogizing for banks, just calling bullshit where it smells.

2. Stop complaining

An internship is optional. Interns are not being forced against their will. An internship at a bank like Goldman Sachs looks so good on a resume so you should have to work hard! This is the problem with this generation.

3. Are you fucking serious?

How progressive of you.
