For those of you in management roles, how hard is it for you to get help from your superiors? Do you often need to reach out to them for advice or are you kind of solo/on your own?

I'm pretty much left alone to manage my area of responsibility. I will confer with superiors on "big picture" issues or personality conflicts that might require special handling, but the day-to-day functions are mine to deal with. If a superior has an issue with how a manager does their work, it would be brought up at the annual performance review or as the need arises.

So basically you would only need to involve your superiors on things that require upper level support?

I have a great rapport with my superiors. We talk regularly as they like to be kept in the loop about how things are going. I like that they show an interest because when an issue arises, they pretty much understand much of it as they are already familiar with the overall dynamics. They have an open door policy too which is nice if I'm having an issue I want to run by them. I definitely appreciate the support I get from them.

That’s very nice! My Fiancée has that kind of manager and I wish that we could switch!!

I'm grateful that my boss checks in on me often. We have weekly one-on-one meetings where she asks for updates and about any concerns that I have.

Very nice. I have biweekly meeting with my supervisor, none with my managers really.

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?

I feel bad for the people who got into supply chain management and are burned out. I feel like they get the short end of the stick, and it truly is not a bad career at all, I think maybe some of them just aren't cut for it.
