Let's be nice and educate those less experienced...
1. "what was presented was the best of intentions and benefits of the majority." Actually, no. The interns do not represent the majority at the company.
2. "the dress code and environment are not uniformed (where everyone have to dress the same). they presented a petition with a majority support, the very least the employer could have done was take it into consideration, being that they don't provide the shoes or clothes the interns wear." Actually, no. Just because there is no uniform, that does not mean the dress code doesn't need to be followed.
3. "they presented a petition with a majority support, the very least the employer could have done was take it into consideration" Reading comprehension is important. The managers have been approached with the issue. They have considered the issue. The answer was no. These interns continued to create headaches over this minor issue.
4, "secondly, the proposal would have promoted comfort and higher production." Do you know what happens when you assume?.....
5. "Letting the interns go was poor judgement on the employer as good ideas often comes from those who think outside of the box..." In what ways? At no point in the person's letter did he/she even state their contribution to the company. Ultimately, this is the person's problem; the person is more concerned about those damn shoes than his/her contribution to the company.
6. "an employer who does not accept change is like a stepping stone (literally)...it doesn't grow and those that steps on them, continues to step higher not wanting to come back." Change for the sake of change is moot. In this case, dress shoes for sneakers? Is that really what the company should be concerned about? Is that really what these interns think is going to make the company great? They deserve to be let go if this is all they can come up with.
The biggest problem with all of this is that the person still wants the job after causing all this drama, and he/she felt that they did nothing wrong. Now, the person wants advice on how to get the job back. WTF? The person is too stupid to even know that the first step is to apologize. And here are some PHers supporting this stupid intern.
