Told a client we needed translations to be recieved today to get their adverts out in time. It’s now today and I've been told they're likely coming tomorrow. I've made this clear on emails so many times but it feels like my deadlines I set are getting lost by the client. How do you get clients to actually stick to deadlines without sounding like the bad guy?

If this keeps happening then maybe you need to organise a meeting with them to discuss these problems? If they see it’s a serious matter then they might listen?

I think that’s the way to go with it definitely - this week has been so stressful!

Happily ever afters as welcome as horror stories here. Thanks!

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
