Sometimes you can only take so much. By that being said, better polish up on your resume
Trust me, SHE is more nervous than you.
No offense it's an internship, not the end of the world. They'll be more. Trust me. Seeing that you're working as an intern is indicative of your work ethic and drive. That's all that matters. SHE has basically dressed you down in front of the whole group losing HER cool. SHE has a lot more to lose. This is her occupation. If she comes up to you putting the power play on you, tell her that you're going to speak to HR about what just happened. In fact, you should anyway. Tell HR that you took this internship with this company to get an experience of a professional work place as you decide your career path. You SHOULD NOT be subject to any hectoring or mocking attitude from superiors who are supposed to offer guidance. like I said, SHE is way more nervous than you. Trust me. I know it's not the best feeling, but I don't see this as your fault. If that's what she said verbatim ("And, next time, think for a second before you waste my time with these %!$%%@@ questions.") SHE is in a LOT of trouble. I work at a large investment bank and speaking to interns like that is a fire-able offense.

Changes for future employment ruined.Originally Posted by natelav129
So i'm an intern right. It's my second summer working at a corporate insurance company, but I work in the IT department.
Basically, I've been setting up this collaboration site for my supervisor ( a woman, if that matters, idk) and things have been straight I suppose even though i'm her mule doing all the work.
I guess she stressing cause she's supposedly presenting this to her higher up and wants it to be perfect.
So far, i've made maybe one or two little mistakes that i've easily fixed within minutes but today I was struggling understanding all these functionalities she wanted me to incorporate.
Long story short, she calls me into her office, we're discussing whatever and she can see I'm a bit confused. So, her approach was not to slow it down a bit and explain clearer....it was to completely degrade me and talk to me like a !@!#*# idiot, with the door open, for the whole floor to hear.
Now, i'm a pretty relaxed dude. I apologize and tell her I understand just to get out of there basically.
So, as I'm about to walk out she says "And, next time, think for a second before you waste my time with these %!$%%@@ questions."
At that point, I say "Well next time, hopefully we're able to communicate more efficiently."
I guess she took this as like warfare or some %%+% because she immediately gets heated, does the little "What did you say?!" act, closes the door, and gets in my face.
No longer could I take it and without even thinking I begin to insult her knowledge of what I'm working on, her inability to give direction, and my business-like facade is gone.
It ended with her just telling me to get out, and now I'm at my desk while all my co-workers are like "Dude, @#!"
I don't even know really how to handle a situation like this, as I've never even been close to having a conflict at work before. BUT, I'M PRETTY SURE I WILL BE FIRED.
Anybody ever had a situation like this before? I'm still sitting here like
Brief:
1. Working on project for my boss, which she is completely reliant on me for
2. For first time, have issue on delivering what she wants
3. Proceeds to yell and belittle ya boy
4. Could not avoid retaliating....or tried for a second
5. Sitting here like Oh %%+%....

I applaud you man! I wanted to do that to my previous boss but I didn't have the courage to do it...
I suggest finding another job, it'll certainly be awkward at your workplace.

Go over here head...(her boss) or contact HR and asked what you can do about the problem you have with her.
I am pretty sure when you did your orientation it was some kind of rules or code of ethics.

purposely mess #%!@ up and let her present it
