Someone just pitched the idea of looking into Returnships, which are internships for people who have had careers already.
On the one hand, possibilities for hiring! On the other hand, this is the most condescending shit I've ever seen in a while.
@sashakovich this is likely a dumb question but
isn't a Returnship just like. hiring somebody straight-up.
like internships are typically the pre-entry-level thing of someone who is new to having a job in that field and having a job at all, that's why there's so much pressure to have interns be extremely low paid or not paid at all
....aren't most hires not in that situation people who have had jobs or even 'careers' before
@sashakovich like ngl at first blush i'm wondering if "returnship" means "we could use more workers but people who have had jobs already don't want to be treated like shit interns... so what if we rebrand it somehow to get them to more easily accept being at that shit tier 🤔 "
