Subject: Concerns About Workplace Treatment at Pape-Dawson Dear All I am writing to share my experience as a former employee of Pape-Dawson Engineers, where I encountered discriminatory management practices and an unprofessional work environment. During my time in both the Plano and Fort Worth offices, I faced repeated instances of workplace harassment and bias under the management of Terry Donia. One of the most concerning issues was the lack of diversity in hiring. I observed a pattern where only certain candidates were considered for engineering positions, while others were overlooked without fair evaluation. The recruitment process appeared to favor a specific demographic, raising serious concerns about equal employment opportunities. Additionally, I experienced direct discrimination regarding workplace culture. On multiple occasions, I was instructed to dress in a way that aligned with what was described as the "Pape-Dawson culture," which felt exclusionary and unnecessary. Instead of fostering an inclusive work environment, these expectations created a hostile atmosphere where employees felt pressured to conform rather than focus on their professional skills and contributions. The constant microaggressions, lack of diversity, and biased management made it clear that fairness and equality were not prioritized. Employees deserve to work in an environment where they are valued based on their performance and qualifications, not their background or appearance. I feel it is important for potential employees to be aware of these issues before considering a position at Pape-Dawson. Every workplace should uphold principles of fair treatment, respect, and equal opportunity. I hope that by speaking out, awareness is raised, and meaningful changes are made to create a more inclusive and equitable work environment. Best regards,

At Pape-Dawson Engineers, we take all feedback seriously and are committed to fostering an inclusive and professional workplace. While we cannot discuss specific personnel matters, we strongly disagree with the characterization of our work environment in this review. Pape-Dawson upholds equal employment opportunities and fair hiring practices, and we encourage employees to bring any concerns to our HR team so they can be properly addressed. We remain dedicated to maintaining a positive and respectful workplace culture.
