You no longer intern there right? Don't give up on it. All other employees to back you up, badger him until he remembers you, throw a bit of a fit if you have to. You worked there unpaid for two months, so you deserve it. And what's the worst that can happen? He can't fire you, and if he writes a shitty letter just don't use it. Best of luck OP.

Interns and slaves are almost synonymous.

Remember, it's not what you know but who you blow that gets you places.

Sounds like he had a free mule and work you to death and what your time is up he kicked you to the curb and couldn't even remember your name what a lousy scumbag

You learned a couple of very valuable lessons here: #1 - Hard work does not guarantee success, it only facilitates it. #2 - You will never get rich working for somebody else. Good luck and keep plugging away. Michael Jordan got cut from his High School basketball team...

Internships are bullshit. I thought Lincoln abolished slavery? Internships are the modern day equivalent.

For my bachelor degree I did 4 internships and none hired me. I seriously hope and wish in the near future;they past a law to this injustice that's been done to college students.

I had to do an internship for my Vet Tech degree. I worked in two different vet offices and made sure they noticed me (in good ways). I would make sure everything was organized (on my own time such as lunch), brought all types of homemade snacks and goodies, I made them a quick breakfast on days we had to be there early that they could reheat and eat when they wanted so no one would go hungry, if something needed to be done and the "only spare moment" was during lunch, I would skip eating (at the risk of my own health) so they could eat and things would get done (floor swept, mopped, exam rooms cleaned, etc.), scrubbed all the floors by myself so it could be waxed the next day even though I was extremely sensitive to the soap and scratched my hands and arms up so bad I was bleeding heavily and ended up wrapping them in paper towels that I would normally use to wipe my nose to try to stop the bleeding while struggling to breathe (they saw but didn't care), baking cakes and decorating them for birthdays, making everyone a personalized gift, and doing anything and everything that was asked of me. My boss sent me a text one day and said that I couldn't come anymore (my hours had been completed for a long time but they agreed to let me help so I could continue to get experience and since they needed it) because they had two high school students coming to shadow. When they sent my paperwork back to the school, they said that I hadn't done a lot of what I had done and gave me bad marks on what they were willing to say that I did do (even though I asked every day if there was anything I needed to work on or improve and was told no because I was "doing great" and "wonderful" and "perfect"). When I tried to talk to my instructor I was basically told that there was nothing they could do because it was a "he said-she said" time and "since bosses said" there was no hope for what I said because I was "just a student".

that would be illegal all you need is proof you've been working there

Anyone who thinks it's not OPs fault, doesn't understand corporate america. It's your job to stand out, it's your job to get noticed. It's not about bringing someone coffee, it's about making sure your ideas are heard and credited to you. Every job I've ever worked, I make a point to bring some things to my boss that I think we could do differently within the first few weeks. It shows you have been examining your new job from the ground up and looking to improve things, it shows initiative. If you just showed up, sat at a desk and waited to be told what to do, that's on you.
