We were supposed to be heading into a bit of a lull as people take off for summer vacations, and we start our summer Fridays. However, it’s been nonstop! This week was probably the worst one so far. I’m hanging on by a thread today.

Yep same. I don't know what it is about this time period specifically but it does feel like all the sudden there are so many moving parts and it's hard to keep up with so many different tasks at once. Luckily I feel like it calms down for us by July, and that's when I plan to take my PTO this summer.

It always ramps up this time of year. I feel like everyone is trying to get in for the summer cycle. Everyone wants their campaigns and content now especially as the end of Q2 approaches. I'm managing for now, but this time of the year always stresses me out! Waiting for everyone's summer vacations to kick in.

Yes! I think its a mix of people trying to jam in projects before they go on vacation followed by stuff stalling when they're out.

Or clients that want to use the last of their budget if they're on a July 1 fiscal.

Yes it has definitely been that way and its only getting more busy. Lots of people out on vacation this time of year so we are all covering for people being out. I kind of hate this time of year.

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!
