Was just trying to fit in
New York, NY - A 22 year old intern at a prominent Madison Avenue advertising agency was fired yesterday for insubordinate behavior after drinking whiskey and lighting a cigarette at a recent staff meeting. The latest incident follows an earlier confrontation with the company CEO, in which the intern reportedly mistook her for an office receptionist and asked her to “clear my schedule for the afternoon, sweetheart.”
In a statement released by the agency this morning, VP of HR Christina Scott noted, “As a reputable advertising agency, we do not tolerate substance abuse or sexual harassment in the workplace. We simply don’t understand where this kid gets the notion that this kind of behavior is acceptable on Madison Avenue."
While the disgraced intern was not available for comment, a former colleague reported that he was “just trying to fit in” and wanted to give an “impression of success.”
