New hires vs. tenured employees - is there a divide?

Been here a while and noticing something lately. Seems like the recent hires, especially those brought in for specific projects, are getting a lot of attention and resources. Meanwhile, folks who have been grinding for years are being overlooked for development opportunities or even just basic recognition. It's creating a bit of friction, honestly. My manager keeps saying 'we value everyone,' but the actions don't always match the words. Feels like a 'new shiny object' syndrome is at play. Anyone else seeing this? Is this a common company strategy or something specific to our divisions? Curious about how this plays out long-term for retention and overall team cohesion.

I'm seeing similar things where I am. It's tough when you feel like your loyalty and experience aren't being rewarded the same way. It's easy to feel demoralized. Maybe try to schedule a direct conversation with your manager about your career path and specific development goals. Don't be afraid to highlight your contributions and ask what concrete steps you can take to be considered for those opportunities. Sometimes just making your ambitions known clearly can help.

Hmm, that's an interesting perspective. While I understand the frustration of feeling overlooked, I also see how companies need to bring in new talent with fresh skills, especially for specific projects. It's not always about devaluing existing employees, but rather about strategic resource allocation. Perhaps the 'attention' is project-specific and temporary? Have you considered if there are internal roles or projects that align with the skills these new hires bring, where you could potentially collaborate and learn?
