Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

Sounds like an account person. Schedules first, asks second.

Almost every meeting that’s booked is never run by me or the rest of the team. It’s typically, “I need this ASAP” while someone already books it on a calendar.

*Just referring to digital meetings, impromptu out of nowhere is nuts

They also typically aren’t familiar with the material being covered in the meeting they’re late to.

No joke, presented info to a client for clarification that I bugged ppl for, client clarified it was a good call out. I shouldn’t be doing this stuff.

I had a similar situation happen. It was awkward. But, I said I’d be dialing in. Stood my ground. And, in the end, the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled to be virtual.

Hi all, Kindly let me know what is difference betwn PEM and project manager. I have been assigned PEM, PM different persons IBM

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux. I also have no experience in this field as I'm a data engineer. The user journey map was for mapping out the process for tenants finding housing assistance, so not a technical product. Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?

Thoughts?

My coworker, who was my friend for a long time, has been lying to me, throwing me under the bus, and taking credit for my work and ideas. I have done more and worked harder than him but he was promoted. He failed a new client big time and I was asked to step in and save the relationship which I did in a big way. Why do I have to work so hard every day while he gets away with scraping by and plagiarizing? How do you deal with a coworker like that?
