Dude, just schedule send those. I schedule send stuff at 4pm to be sent out at 9pm all the time.

likesmart

Schedule to send is good till offshore team sees emails dropping at a time and OP is never online in IM 😄

That requires waking up in the middle of the night and I'm not built for that. lol

I have a bad habit of waking up randomly throughout the night and checking my phone. If I see an email i can respond too I just kind of do it (half asleep)

Promotion & salary increase question.

Im a project manager with 8 years of experience & currently managing 3 major projects that bring in minimum 10 million in licensing each year (before adjustment).

Currently I manage 15 developers & BAs + external teams & roughly a 6 million $ budget in professional service fees. I’m putting in 55-60 hour weeks and my job feels more like program management than a project manager.

What should I really be asking for here in a raise & comp cycle?

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?
