We had an intern like this, too. She would quietly do her work, but when it came to her cell phone ringing or making personal calls about her new apartment or the progress of her pregnancy and making appts with her OB/GYN, our entire office could hear her.

Several of us were annoyed with it, but only a few had the cajones to ask her to keep her voice down. And she would act all surprised, like she didn't realize she was being loud and would be quieter. For. That. Call.

Then she would start up again.

!!!!

I was so glad when her internship ended in late Nov.

What I don't understand is that this kind of behavior in an INTERN was tolerated. I could understand if it was the boss, but a temporary employee who is there to learn and get college credit? I was new at the time, and would've said more if I'd been there longer, but I was still learning the office culture.

I don't think our office did her any favors by ignoring her office etiquette lessons!
