I wanted to share my experience as summer intern at IMF, patch 2019. This period have been haunting me ever since and I am really trying to get over it. I only wanted to speak it over, may be that would relieve me.
I had been mentally and psychologically abused by my supervisor at the department I was working for. My supervisor was a harasser, who kept pushing me to accept his outings invitations, but I declined every single time. He used to stare at my body and say implicitly that he likes my looks and that I look like his daughter. He was so weird, that ometimes he used to come to my office, just to stare at me behind the glass walls without knocking. When he knew I won't go out with him, he kept on criticizing me by saying that my work isn't satisfactory enough and that I don't respect my colleagues.
The point is that he was not into the field I was working on, he knew nothing about empirics or how to even open stata and despite that he thinks he knows it all. One time I forgot my colleague's name and he used this instance to say that I have disrespected the latter.
One time I was fed up with the way he treats me that I went to the head department and told me everything. The head department interfered and asked him to stay away from me. I admit that this worked a little. Afterwards, he spoke better to me, but never gave up asking me out even in my last week. He came to my office and asked about my flight date. Two hours later, he called me and said he is free on that date and we could meet up. I declined as usual.
I couldn't report all these incidences because he was too smart. He never texted me, but asked me that during office time.
I know nothing would happen him and I can't even mention his name, but I only wanted to document my story for future interns.
