Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
From my internship days, I remember some associates going very extra on interns. They would take a patronising (and sometimes, rude) tone with the interns as if the deliverables are an intern’s responsibility. It is purely anecdotal but most of such associates are A0s or A1s who are not good at taking responsibilities and would rudely try to deflect it on interns. Avoid such people. You don’t have to report them but you can ignore them and their work by keeping yourself busy with other associates’s work.
Please do not name the person or team, just your experience. The rationale is that such people read this and think twice before repeating their acts.
