I’m an intern at a nonprofit organization.
Two months ago, I was offered an extension on my internship, but I was told that I would not be supported in pursuing any full time job, even internally at our nonprofit, if I chose to extend. In my manager’s words, I would be “screwing her over” (but a stronger word) if I tried to pursue a job before the internship is over.
It was a tough decision and I was risking unemployment, but I chose not to extend. I immediately hit the ground running looking for jobs and after two months, I found one. My internship is ending and I start at my new job in two weeks.
Today, I found out that the same situation is happening on another team with their intern. The other intern is also struggling to make the right decision.
I sat down with my manager today and gave her feedback on how the whole thing made me feel—frustrated, unsupported, powerless, etc. and how I am sorry I didn’t speak up sooner. She essentially said, “I’m sorry that sucks for you, but that’s the way it has to be.”
Someone from another department is known as the “intern advocate” and I reached out to her about the situation and we are meeting in two days. I plan to be very diplomatic and simply ask for insight/advice about the situation instead of rocking the boat or demanding change. However, I am also hoping they stop pressuring the other intern. Am I handling the situation correctly?
Tldr: I was forced to choose between extending my internship (but not having my manager’s support in applying for jobs internally.) Or not extending, and risking being unemployed. It worked out for me, but another intern is now going through the same thing. I talked to my manager about it, but she didn’t seem to care. Should I talk to someone else?
