DENVER—After starting at the company just three weeks ago, 22-year-old Wenger Marketing intern Allison Bennett told reporters Thursday that she has already befriended 36-year-old digital content coordinator Mike Fryer, the least-respected employee in the entire office.
“I’m still pretty new and don’t know many people, but Mike really went out of his way to welcome me here,” Bennett said of the consistently marginalized man whose meager contributions to the company are not at all valued by any of his 60 coworkers. “He’s been so great. He showed me around the office and always encourages me to come to him if I ever need anything.
According to Bennett, Fryer—who sources confirmed is routinely thought of as the company’s least essential employee, and is in fact referred to as this behind his back—took her out to lunch at a local café during her first week as an intern, where the two spoke at length about their backgrounds and general interests.
Sources confirmed that the two are already friends on Facebook, and that Fryer is the only person at the company with whom Bennett is connected on the social media site.“This is my first internship, and I feel like Mike has kind of taken me under his wing,” said Bennett, who falsely assumes that other employees like and respect Fryer as much as she does, and that being taken under Fryer’s wing might somehow be an advantageous thing for her career.
Reports confirmed that last Tuesday, after a visibly upset Bennett was reprimanded for an oversight on an assignment, Fryer pulled her aside and reassured her that it was “fine” and that she shouldn’t “beat [herself] up about it.” Reports also confirmed that Fryer’s consistent errors over the past four years have left him on the very cusp of being fired.
“No matter what happens with this job, I’m hoping that Mike and I will keep in touch and stay friends after the internship is over,” said Bennett, reportedly unaware that Fryer has struck up similar friendships with every single intern before her. “He’s an awesome guy.”At press time, the entire office at Wenger Marketing was talking about how “pathetic” it is that Fryer has glommed onto the new intern.
