Today, I found out that my university had not accepted the internship I did when I was in college. They placed me in the same bank I interned in, with the same bank manager that I flipped the middle finger at after finishing my internship. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as usual, I got to my internship early, did everything my bosses asked. At the end of the day, I was fired after 3 weeks of working unpaid overtime because they found an applicant with more experience for the job I applied to and they wanted to cut costs. FML
Today, I completed my two-month internship, where I have been working as hard as I could with the hope of being hired. My boss couldn't remember my name, and declined to be a reference. FML
Today, I found out I didn't get accepted into a program I was nominated to attend at work that all other applicants with less experience than myself did. I found out when they asked if I had gotten the acceptance email. They didn't even bother telling me I was rejected. FML
Today, I accidentally put down the wrong year for my university graduation, so when my prospective boss was checking my references he found no mention of my name in that year's list of graduates. He accused me of faking my qualifications and refused to hire me. It was a 6-figure salary. FML
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
Today, I was turned down for a job because they thought I lied about having a six-month internship. Why? The secretary I told off for stealing my lunch every single day told them she hadn't heard of me, and the new company won't listen. FML
Today, I got an email from the person I'm supposed to start an internship with next week, saying they're leaving the company. This has been planned since October and will be a year long. Now I have to try to sort things out as quickly as possible if I want to graduate on time. FML
Today, I got fired from my position as a financial investor for giving a client the exact investment he asked for, even though the investment was out of my mandate, and I had gone to my direct manager to authorize the investment. My manager was promoted. FML
Today, I found out that the money I spent on a very specific degree was wasted, because apparently, I don't qualify for a job at the place that told me I had to have that degree. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML

Don't burn bridges until they're fully crossed, and even then think twice before burning them. You may have to cross it again.

Lesson 1. Always be professional. Lesson 2. Never burn your bridges.

Or you could've ended the internship in a polite and grateful manner, even if your boss was a total dick. That was an option too.

Discuss the conflict with whoever's in charge of placing you. I'm going to assume there was a reason you flipped him off, so there should be a reason why you shouldn't be there again. There must be other banks you can intern at, or perhaps a different manager.

**** him. This is a good life lesson. ******* kids these days don't understand that there are consequences for their actions. This is a classic example of the downfall of the "everybody gets a trophy" generation.

While I agree. There's also no need for him to be back at the same bank with the same supervisor, there's not going to be any significant new learning there which is the point of interning. They should take his previous work experience into account when placing him.

What a childish thing to do.

It sounds like you were a dick for no reason, but even if the manager was an asshole, you shouldn't flip people off or anything like that. I mean, I get you were leaving, but it makes it very hard to use them as a reference at a later time.

Welp, I've had a harder time in that internship than a guy who served in prison. True, he was a total dickless asshole, too bad I'm gonna have to work for him again this month. Better set things right with him this time.

The reason you're repeating this internship: you flipped-off the manager. I have no doubt he didn't submit the documentation at the end of your first internship.

What exactly did you accomplish by flipping off your manager? Other than an assload of karma. I hope he makes your life hell so you can learn a lesson. YDI

I seen this saying in Facebook all the time, "He who stirs the shit pot should have to lick the spoon."
