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!
To me it seems to me your intern just didnt' realize it, and talks that way naturally, so when you asked she was quieter, but when she got on another call her natural loudness took over.

Seems like Angellove's intern was just a jerk.
