I left due to the project executive’s self-serving behavior and discriminatory treatment

Senior project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Projects are challenging and some team members help you along the way I got to work on a large hospital project!

Cons

The one particular project executive has constantly reshaped the narrative to serve their own interests, promoting a version of events that benefits them. There is evident bias between team members who unquestioningly follow directions and those who speak up against questionable practices. Be cautious and don’t get drawn into this dynamic.
