As a former driver for a supply chain company, I noticed me and a couple coworkers put on some weight. I want to bring this up to HR for them to supply us with healthy snack alternatives for our long trips, instead of them offering us a stipend for gas station snacks or fast food.

Wouldn’t the stipend cover healthy snacks at the truck stops?

I think that's a great idea if there are no healthy options at the stations around you. I would make it as easy for HR to say yes as possible. Can someone volunteer to do the healthy food shop? Or could the stipend be added to your pay to you can use it on your own healthy options?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
