our underage intern drank on the firm get together
A reader writes:
Earlier this week I used to be chatting with our intern, Rachel, and one other coworker in regards to the workers get together the earlier week. I had been sick and missed it, and intern Rachel, who’s in faculty and below 21, mentioned that I didn’t miss something, simply her getting somewhat drunk … as a result of they didn’t card her. I’m not a teetotaler, however I used to be surprised that she would admit it in entrance of us prefer it was a humorous in-joke.
In planning the get together, we particularly picked a non-happy-hour occasion and determined to not serve booze as a result of we had an underage staff member. Which suggests she ordered it herself.
Clearly the perfect second to appropriate this has handed and I’m not her direct supervisor, however I really feel like I have to let her know that this was not skilled habits. However I’m at a loss for a way to take action.
Rachel is a superb intern from what I see — she asks considerate questions, is raring to be taught, and has introduced some nice concepts into brainstorms. She does generally tend to typically overshare and be a bit loud, however by no means in an annoying method, only a bit naive.
Has the second gone to provide her some pleasant skilled recommendation?
