Today, I was let go from my internship for "not putting in enough effort". I was working 50 hours a week for almost zero pay. FML

With that dedication they will be working for you someday! Hope you at least got some experience out of it!

Those idiots are dumb, first of all a person wanting to learn or get experience working 50 hours a week for peanuts damn them for getting rid of you. Hell a person that's wants to work and learn on the job, should not have to worry about having internship cut early, they have no moral or ethical values as a company. Sorry u had to go through that

You deserved to have finally been let go, atleast you can shift to a better paying job now :)

Hours and pay don't justify lack of effort, it's not like you had to take the job.

You shouldn't be slacking, that's still more than zero pay, jk.

It's one thing to be a hard-working, underpaid intern, but when you're really not appreciated and let go, take it as a sign. You'll be better off someplace else! It can only get better for you! :)

At least you still got practice for the field you are planning on going to! Better than no practice!

Umm that's a normal internship, you go in shut up and work without any complaint or question.

They probably fired you because you were working too many hours and they didn't want to pay you so much

Wow, it's like they didn't even realize how much you've been working for the whole week. That's total crap. I got to hand it to you OP, you did great and you'll do better than they ever did.
