0:00.0	An entitled intern literally walks into my job thinking that he's an executive, essentially throwing
0:05.3	away the greatest opportunity he would ever have in a career that he has effectively tanked.
0:10.1	Here's how it happened. To start things out, I want to say that a lot of things have changed
0:13.9	in my office this year, including almost our entire senior leadership being replaced.
0:18.5	I work in a pretty prestigious office, which makes for an amazing
0:21.8	starting place for any intern. And speaking of which, along with the leadership change, we got two new

0:49.5	On the first day, Tanner walked in
0:51.5	with the most stupidly entitled attitude
0:53.5	I've ever seen in my life. He's
0:55.3	convinced he's an expert when he might be one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered. He bullies
1:00.2	Jack with condescending language, constant put-downs, and treats him like an assistant. And he
1:05.1	cringe-worthily spends a lot of his time in the office trying to flirt with female colleagues
1:09.5	who are blatantly not interested.
1:11.5	Also, remarkably enough, he has a long-distance girlfriend.
