Bite Your Tongue

Sometimes it is hard to bite your tongue. Fact. But when you feel it on a daily basis it is way harder. I am a British student doing a placement year in Amsterdam. Living the dream until I step foot inside my office.

I currently have two managers and one slave driver. Don’t get me wrong it is nowhere near as bad as The Devil Wears Prada, but sometimes it make me think how companies can afford to use interns the way they are.

There are interns here who are run off their feet, who get disciplined if they get to their desks just one minute late. On the other hand there are interns that are not used at all. Free as a bird. How can companies afford to let these people sit and look at the Daily Mail ‘Showbiz’ section all day long.  I mean, please. Let’s reflect on the fact that the economy is not at its best, and yet I am sat here getting more and more wound up with people telling me they have nothing to do… HOW?! How do you have nothing to do? This is the fashion industry, this is a fashion company. It is 2014 for Christ sake!  

RANT OVER!
