forward it again and be like “ re forwarding it to you in case you need it for reference...”

Forward it with something along the lines of “hey looks like this may have gotten lost in the shuffle”

OP: Don't swallow your pride. It furthers the perception that you were incompetent or lazy.

As others have suggested, there are diplomatic ways to communicate about a situation like this without surrendering your own reputation.

Next time, forward the original invite e-mail, along with a non-confrontational preface.

Partner once complained to me that I send him too many emails. Told him it’s mainly because he’s not reading the emails I already sent him so I end up resending after we speak (about the email he already had in his inbox). Averaged about 3x per topic due to his ADD

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up?
