Summer Internship Red Flags: Is This Company A Match or Nah?
It’s that time of year again….Summer Internships. In Season 2 I did an episode called Secure The Internship Bag: Summer Schmoney Moves and a part 2 called Internship Midpoint: Summer Schmoney Moves Part 2. In those episodes, I focused on very tactically tips for your whole summer.
In this episode, I want to focus on the signs you need to pay attention to as you complete your internship. There are clear RED FLAGS, that will tell you that you need to run far away after your internship is over … even if you secure a full-time offer to join them after you graduate. Some Bags Just Ain’t Worth It.
I Share:
- What signs you should look for to distinguish good company culture from bad
- What behaviors your manager should exhibit
- How to tell if your main project is setting you up for success or not

Discrimination At Ford Motor Company Continues, Another Example w/ Walter Bernard
S3:Ep 32
In the past 2 years, Ford Motor Company has settled with an EEOC Harassment Investigation for $10.125 Million and in March was ordered to pay $16.8 Million to an ex-employee for discrimination and retaliation. Unfortunately, allegations and lawsuits of discrimination are not new for Ford Motor Company. In fact, if you do a good Google search, these stories of mistreatment are widespread throughout the company. Even though they have all the policies in place, deep within the roots of the culture at Ford Motor Company is racism and sexism. One might even say that they can’t help it, Henry Ford was a racist openly admired by Adolf Hitler. 🤷🏿♀️
So how do you manage your career while working for companies like Ford Motor Company, who hold on to such an entrenched culture of racism and sexism?
In this episode, ex-Ford employee, Walter Bernard shares his story of broken promises and discrimination thinly veiled as a layoff. Walter is an attorney, MBA, author, entrepreneur and former NFL football player. He worked for Ford Motor Company for 7 years until he was laid off this June 2019.
