Coordinator
Coordinators are either useful or useless, and there are two types:1. In business, the PROJECT
COORDINATOR is used by management to
patch over some type of failing that they encounter in their processes. It is easier for them to simply hire someone with "organizational skills" and charge them with the responsibility of "making sure things get done."Usually their job devolves into mindless nagging and tedious task management. Their nagging also serves to lower worker morale over time, leading to higher employee
attrition and fighting in the workplace.2. In event planning, EVENT COORDINATORS are often extremely necessary, and function as the "glue" that holds an event or project together. They are most necessary in events like concerts or mass protests, where a large number of guests must rely on some amount of structure to be in place for their activities.Paradoxically, events that appear to be free-form or
anarchistic often require the most coordinating work behind the scenes, because the guests expect everything to "just work" for them when they get there. Behind every Burning Man or
Bonaroo, there is usually an army of unappreciated, frazzled coordinators working around the clock to make sure that the event goes off without a hitch.

When one enters the "
real world" it will soon become clear that coordinator is a synonym for "
office bitch" aka lowest on the
totem pole or orginizational chart.
Example:
Brittany: Hey lauren,
heard you just got a job! What's your title?
Lauren: "Media
Coordinator"
Brittany:
Oooo. That sounds fancy!
Lauren: Well, it fucking sucks!

The act of a non-technical person determining a technical solution. Often times
handing it off to a technical team to
implement without consideration for unknown technical details. Performed by a person with a project
coordinator or manager role.
Example:
1. If we want to get that project completed in a timely manner we better get a
coordineer on it ASAP!
2. Wow!

An employee or
contractor with little to zero skill in his or her trade, who is elevated by
derelict management to an imaginary position (
coordinator). The role usually goes straight to his and her head, and "The
Coordinator" then proceeds to order other, longer tenured employees around meanwhile destroying integral parts of the company's infrastructure.
Example:
Employee1: "Hey, what happened to my PC, I can't
login anymore!?"
Employee2: "Yeah, me neither. No one can. How much you wanna bet the 'Coordinator' is messing around in the
server room again?"
Employee1: "Man, where do they find these
IT guys??"
