I'm a final year grad student who is working as an intern in a startup. It's a small team, and I'm the owner of 2 projects. Recently I've been feeling overworked and underpaid. I'm an intern who is working at the capabilities of a full-time and more. How do I have this conversation with my boss?
Hey,
So I am in a similar situation to you where I have 3 projects under me and I have to basically be the PM, EM, Scrum Master, Analyst etc.
I’ve had conversations with my boss (CEO) that I can’t do things properly with the load but he just continues to dump things on me.
I’ve decided that ima look elsewhere cause they don’t seem to value their employees Health and welfare. Mind you they have more than enough cash flow to hire senior folks.
This is how I recommend you broach this; “Hey, I feel overworked due to all the responsibilities and it is seriously affecting my health and performance. I believe I’m not being compensated for the work that I do. Is there anyways we can re prioritise my tasks and also revise my remuneration ?
I would greatly appreciate that”
If they try to dodge or say no time to look else where man. You should not take shit from them.
You are an intern. Everything else you said is meaningless if it doesn't lead to full time employment. Just quit and graduate and find a new job
Dude just quit, there is no ownership in internship.
