Alternatively this is one of those things that, maybe, if it all goes well, you could leverage for a promotion and pay raise.

Of course, there's a lot of context that we don't really have access to but that's another thing to consider.

OP is an intern, at most companies promotions and job offers are literally impossible. Of course they might be able to swing a permanent job, but I'm not convinced this place would be great for learning or for career.

Ah, I glossed over the "intern" word.

right and i read back my post and i leave out some context and do not mean to disparage my boss or the company i work for. and i think you may be right, instead of being afraid and, lack of a better term, paranoid about this situation i could instead embrace the challenge, and communicate better what i do know and what i don't know.

you had me at "pay raise" hehe..

I missed you were an intern, that does change things a bit. I'd say embrace the challenge, get some experience working in a high-stress environment where you're complete out of your depth, and then sooner or later try to find a job at another company that won't do this to you.

that is okay, i notice i left context out of my post as i hastily wrote it.

thank you for your kind words, i think it is definitely best to look at this situation from the angle of "learning opportunity".
