Really annoyed that during a majorly stressful campaign (for a client that quite frankly sucks lol) that in every meeting, forum etc Project Management isn’t EVER mentioned in the acknowledgements. I guess it’s normal but I guess since I almost lost my mind and had three anxiety attacks in one just one week alone I’m feeling salty. I can’t even begin to describe the mental, emotional and spiritual fortitude this took. Again I know I’m preaching to the choir, PM is such a thankless job but argh!

I feel this so hard. There was one time my name was left out when thanking the team verbally I actually thanked myself out loud after everyone else was done. It was 100% worth the look on my team’s face.

I always make sure to call out my PM team’s accomplishments in a larger group setting to show our office what it takes to do what we do. After doing that for a while people knew to include our names in the thank yous and congratulatory messages.

There are only two types of PMs: those who bust their asses and get no recognition and those who, uhm, no… there’s only the one type.

I LOVE my PM partners. I will sing your praises all day every day. I couldn’t successfully get to my part of the job without y’all.
Anyone who doesn’t recognize the efforts of a good PM can just try to get anything done without you. 💜

This is a great thing to bring up in 360 feedback if given the opportunity. It’s really important to thank everyone, and PM is especially thankless!

We all know you held that team together and worked your ass off. Good job! Kudos! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️

Thank you all 🙏 We had another situation where we were going down the line and I made sure to mention myself bc I was sick and tired and wasn’t going to go unacknowledged in another situation! ESP when the forum was just our team (vs another company wide meeting). Acknowledgement DOES matter. This isn’t God’s work so I need to hear a little somethin’ somethin’ to keep my chin somewhat up lol

I empathize... I do. Sometimes I wonder if it's how Project Management is utilized in organizations. I have worked with absolute ROCK STAR project managers and they make a huge difference. Unfortunately, in my 10 years of Product Management they have been very few and far between. They're pretty much all useless at my company now. Have you ever thought of pivoting out of project management into product management? Product owner?

Negligence is still fairly clear but I can envision a reality where a jury disagrees....
