Anyone else starting to feel a little burnt out because everyone's so quick to blame "supply chain problems?" If you needed 10,000 of that product, but ordered 500, how exactly is that my fault?

Yes! Or my favorite... ordering 10,000 products over the weekend and wanting them by Monday

funny

This happens way too often! It's hilarious I can't even keep a straight face when I get involved in this situations. Like how are we gonna do that Susan? Tell me!

Sounds about right. I feel like a big part of working in the supply chain industry that forget to put on the job post is getting blamed for other people's poor planning

Yeah, I hear you! I think the supply chain issues are so 2021. Now people need to start taking responsibility for their shitty ordering.

Yeah. How is that even your fault? How do you order 500 products when you need 10,000? They're just looking for someone to blame, I guess.

This field constantly exhausts me. Here's a reminder to take things easy whenever you guys can. Advocate for yourself whenever workplace injustice occurs.

Who does that? And Logistics Coordinator's comment about needing 10,00 products for Monday and ordering them on a weekend? Hahaha! Hilarious!

Exactly my thought! They made the wrong judgment and then blame us. Doesn't make sense.

Oh, please! I had a fair share of incidents already. People just want to blame us for everything. Lol
