How do you deal with unresponsive managers? I recently started working with one that doesn’t seem to have time. I get emails with tasking but unsure if I’m heading in the direction their wanting. When I ask to have a check-in they’re too busy too. How do I avoid have this potential negative impact? I’m up for promotion and don’t want this to hinder me.

Send a follow up message. Specifically indicate that it is a follow-up ask. Confirm that they are healthy and able through other team members. For this, I reach out to PMO. If they still don’t respond call them directly and inquire about their well-being. Still no response - ask their super. Make it a well being inquiry. Then you know what to do. Good luck.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?
