Hi everyone I am just writing this thread as I really need some advice. I am currently on a placement in Europe for my course and it is going terribly. I enjoy living in the country and have made some good friends in my 6 weeks here, but my boss is absolutely impossible to work with. I am criticized for everything single little thing that is wrong, she has called me stupid and said she was surprised I went to university. I admit I have made some mistakes but they were not major ones and had no impact on the company.
However I fully expected to make some mistakes before starting my placement after all this is the first time in my life I have worked an office job and truly had a proper full time job. She has also said i should be ashamed of myself and that I ask too many questions and that they are stupid questions. We both agreed that there is no way this would work out for 9 months so have agreed to make it a 3 month internship and stop it at Xmas. That was not a decision I took lightly but there is honestly NO way this would work out for 9 months.
So my question to anyone reading this is do you know anyone or even been in a similar situation yourself and have some advice for me. My plan now is to find a 6 month internship back in the UK or try and get two separate 3 month internships maybe.
