Male project manager and manager

PM tries to book me in for a piece of work with X customer for X day. This day did not suit my schedule. I told the PM and ccd my manager saying I’m already booked for 2 deadlines the same day

Manager chimes in next day I’m off - says do it anyway, get someone else to cover or tell customer deadlines will be pushed. Invites sent to the customers while I was on leave confirming I’ll be available

Anyone else feel like their time is being undermined? 😑

Could you not get someone else to cover? It seems like they just wanted to reassure customers, but expected you would be out.

I told the PM I wasn’t available to do the job that day. Nobody else does or wants to cover what I do so I’m left doing all the tasks due on the same day. I’m not very happy about it but I’m left with no choice. My manager overruled me saying I should be “fine” to get everything done, making their own judgment about my workload despite outlining my schedule clearly unavailable. It is a multitask struggle keeping all 3 customers happy on the same day. It’s left me feeling like nobody has my back in the team and very stressed

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young. Since then I have built a great track record at my previous job in sales, succeeded in a project manager internship, and have exceeded at the role for a year now. Unfortunately, I do not like the direction the company is headed in and want to move on. I have gazed at new companies but the lack of “education” seems to be a reoccurring obstacle. Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

I received an assessment from Amazon, and it says I have 7 days to complete the assessment but the recruiter says I have 30 days to complete the assessment but the link expires in 7 days. I asked for clarification and she said I need to schedule a date (not more than 30days after receiving the assessment link) I can complete the assessment by. Has anyone taken an assessment from Amazon recently? Could you please clarify this for me. I sent the recruiter a message but haven’t heard back.
