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.

Get the coordinator mug.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.

Example 1:
Sysadmin 1- "Did you hear about the new Project Coordinator that management hired?"
Sysadmin 2- "Yea, all he does is send people nagging emails and CC's the boss in all of them, so it looks like he is being productive."
Sysadmin 1- "Screw this man, I'm looking for another job."
Example 2:
Hippie- "Burning Man is awesome! It's proof that thousands of people can just get together and do drugs and it all just works out! Yaay anarchism!"
Event Coordinator- "If you hadn't shared some of that weed with me, I'd be stabbing you in the face right now..."

Get the Coordinator mug.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.
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?"

Get the coordinator mug.These are work slacks or pants that differ in tone from the commonly accepted color at the workplace, which is usually khaki. In most cases, these slacks are a different tone, but not a completely different color. In a workplace where khaki is the color of choice, many of those above entry-level will wear different tones of khaki ranging from yellow-brown to dark brown.
In a workplace with a strict dress code, there needs to be a way to differentiate the lowly employees from those slightly higher on the management food chain. A different shade of pants is used to broadcast one's higher position within the company.

Get the Coordinator Pants mug.A stunt coordinator usually an experienced stunt performer, is hired by a TV, film or theatre director or production company for stunt casting that is to arrange the casting ( stunt players and stunt doubles ) and performance of stunts.
I worked as an background extra in 1974, that same year I went to a Stuntman School that summer, and meet the legendary Hollywood stuntman Hal Needham, he'd taught me everything about getting into stunt work. I started my career as a stuntman in 1975, and two years later, I was hired to work as a stunt coordinator in TV and film. Nice Work Tho👍🎥✨!!!!
