Terrible treatment of Project Coordinator admin team -Lack of recognition

Project coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice projects to their portfolio and office.

Cons

The treatment of Project Coordinators. Many of us have experienced inconsistent support, lack of recognition for our contributions, and what appears to be favoritism. It’s disheartening to feel that professional growth and job security may depend more on navigating office politics than on performance or work ethic. Additionally, while I understand the intention behind DEI and workplace training initiatives, I believe these programs would be more effective if they acknowledged and celebrated individual contributions and professionalism, rather than identity . Recognition should be based on merit, integrity, and the value each team member brings to the organization. Leadership needs consider steps to create a more respectful, and performance-focused workplace for all employees.
