Today, I found out that aside from being savagely overworked and treated like shit for zero pay, another one of my responsibilities as an intern is to take the blame for my boss accidentally posting a link to a porn site on the company's Twitter account. FML

Dude **** that. Make it clear that wasn't your fault. Talk to HR about it.

Get friendly with the IT dept. and have them look up the internet history of your bosses computer on their server. Even if your boss cleared his cookies, it went through the company's server and there are traces of it. That goes for all of you who read this and think nobody can see your browsing habits. ?

I would refuse to take the blame for that. If you are going to get fired at least get fired knowing your morals stayed intact. You'll most likely get fired either way you go so at least stand up to an idiot bully and get fired because you chose to do the right thing.

You are an unpaid intern. Stfu and deal with it. I'm assuming the reason you're an intern is because you need the experience for your degree, most likely. So unfortunately for you this is what comes with the turf. You don't like it then quit. Simple.

He has no obligation to "shut up and deal with it." He has rights.

You are the one who should shut the **** up. This can track him down for ages, he might be "that guy" who posted a **** link on the company twitter. Companies can call your previous employer to hear about you. Does it sound fair for OP? Yes, he's an intern, he need the experience but he also needs a good lesson of ethics (you might have skipped that one I'm guessing) and this is exactly the opposite. No job, paid or not paid, is worth taking the blame and the consequences of something you did NOT do. Get your shit together, man!

Oh I just saw you are a pharmacy technician, studying to be a nurse. Would you take the blame if your boss gave the wrong medication for a patient and told you to take it? :)

You act as though my personal thoughts and opinions interfere with my ability to do my job proficiently... Furthermore, pharmacies have a multi check system to ensure things like that don't happen. I'm not gonna say it's 100% full proof but if a patient does get the wrong med it truly fall on whomever sold it. As we are required to clarify that they are picking up "Lantus" or "humalog" etc

It does interfere. Because according to what you said, you think it is ok to ruin someones career to save your ass. So yes, it does interfere and you do lack a lot of ethics and respect for others.

Can you take it up with someone even higher up? It's totally unfair that your reputation should be tarnished before even starting your career with your first paying job. Best of luck OP.

How exactly does one accidentally post any link to Twitter, let alone a **** site?
