our underage intern drank on the firm social gathering
A reader writes:
Earlier this week I used to be chatting with our intern, Rachel, and one other coworker in regards to the workers social gathering the earlier week. I had been sick and missed it, and intern Rachel, who’s in faculty and beneath 21, stated 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 shocked that she would admit it in entrance of us prefer it was a humorous in-joke.
In planning the social gathering, we particularly picked a non-happy-hour occasion and determined to not serve booze as a result of we had an underage group member. Which implies she ordered it herself.
Clearly the most effective 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 conduct. However I’m at a loss for a way to take action.
Rachel is a good intern from what I see — she asks considerate questions, is keen to be taught, and has introduced some nice concepts into brainstorms. She does 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?
I reply this query over at Inc. at this time, the place I’m revisiting letters which have been buried within the archives right here from years in the past (and typically updating/increasing my solutions to them). You can learn it right here.
