I really don't think that's fair for companies. What, are they supposed to do? Should they just not fill your position for 2 years or potentially longer? Or should they hire someone whom them will fire upon your return? I don't think my criticism applies to the part-time public office positions, but I'm not sure if you're saying that protection should be given to both full and part-time

I'm going to be an intern in D.C. this summer, and I will be helping out L.A.s with researching topics. Any tips?

Thanks a lot! I worked in a state office last summer; so I've picked up on a few of these things. But I really appreciate the feedback!
