Internalising workplace woes works wonders

April 13, 2011

Guru never imagined he'd be saying this, but Nick Clegg is a bona fide genius.

Inspired by the Insipid One, Yours Truly has bought in to the intern system in a big way.

Previously only used to exploiting young Bulgarians, Yours Truly has been really getting into the spirit of things and now has 4000 interns working for him - doing everything from boiling his egg in the morning to picking up his laundry and loading up lorries full of... ahem... goods.

No pay, no conditions, no strings attached.

This really is the future and Guru recommends it to all struggling companies out there. What's more local authorities could use a few interns themselves... and central government. Admittedly our 'hard-working' MPs all have a stack of interns in place to do their bidding, but what about outsourcing the whole 'MP' concept to interns.

Instead of Vince 'just call me David Cameron's puppet' Cable putting his foot in it every time he's interviewed, why not put forward an intern spokesman. And instead of David 'just call me a plastic robot' Cameron visiting the Middle East to annoy everyone, send an intern instead. After all, nothing Vince Get-me-a-Cab says makes any sense these days, and an intern could bring world peace a step closer - all for a fraction of the cost of DC and VC.
