My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves.

Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
