Labels really bite my ass. There is nothing that I hate worse than being reffered to as "this is Brad, the co-op student (intern if you are American)". It's not that I am not a co-op student I just don't think is represents me or anyone else very well. For starters I do the same work as the rest of the staff and believe it or not I have seniority over half the people in the department (it's only four people though). When I am referred to as a coop student this is what I am really hearing, "thisi is brad, he is a lowly co-op. You can get him to do the shit jobs and you treat him like shit. He doesn't count he is only here for 4 months at time. He isn't worth our effort to properly train, what's the point". I really really hate the attitdes that some people have. This is what I would like to hear "this is brad, we are trying to train him to work at Janna for a really long time. He is one bitchin product marketing member, we are really going to miss him in four months". What I really want is some loyalty, is that too much to ask?
