Did everyone hear about the bridge collapsing in Baltimore today? This affected us since we have couriers that run that route but it was manageable. Has anyone else dealt with real life events such as these that affected your workload one way or another?

So very sad that this happened. It definitely shut things down for us. The closest thing I can think of that relates to life events affecting my workload is Covid. That was a disaster. Every department in my company was negatively affected and so many emergency changes had to be made. It made us step up and think on our feet though with is good.

Yes this was sad news. Covid was tough on me too. I was furloughed in my most recent position and then hired back a few months into Covid. A lot of changes were made too and the company finally accepted remote work.

I’m waiting on notice from our freight forwarder if we have product coming that route.

No, thank God. That bridge collapse is all I can think about. I can't get those video images out of my mind. I really hope they're able to find some survivors.

Me too. We talked about it during our daily group meeting. So sad.

Yes, and the videos are heartbreaking.
We have dealt with natural disasters that have prevented regular business for a few weeks.

I only saw one or two videos and I don’t want to look at any more at this point. Sadly I don’t think this is the end of disasters this year. I can’t believe that bridge has been operational since the 70s!

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails.
