Several thoughts...
1) She wanted experience. She got the best possible experience she could have ever hoped for. It's an internship. Learn from it and move on.
2) They pushed the petition too far. Asked for too much. Shouldn't have done a petition in the first place, but it's clear they got all giddy with their perceived power through unity and took it too far.
3) Any rational person knows you don't start demanding right after you start a new job. You wait until you figure out the culture.
4) Personally, I would have just started wearing non-leather shoes. It's not uncommon to get away with minor things as long as you don't bring attention to it.
5) JMO, but sandals of any kind, no matter how nice or expensive, are NOT professional for an office environment.
6) This is the product of an unwarranted and overly-entitled younger generation brought to us by helicopter parents and misguided colleges.
