Guesses for year end?

I’m interviewing with another firm next week. Has anyone made a switch like that before? How did you do it? I work in a small criminal firm now. Interview is with a same size/practice area firm.

Qualys is very bad company, nothing positive, only good thing medical insurance and 1 month np

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

For a SAP BODS consultant with 7 years of experience, what should be the package in current market?

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Today the cash register broke down while a customer was waiting with 4 pallets of Monster. He yelled at me.

It's incredible how our racist af retail manager has managed to keep a job. HR is aware of this, but nothing has been done to fix this. Anyone else dealing with such mess?

We found out one of our drivers may have a drinking problem. How? Bunch of empty bottles in his truck. Should I ask about this or just let him go to avoid being held liable in case an accident happens?

Looking for an opportunity to work in the logistics/shipping industry as an executive in Singapore.

May I request for help . Currently a diploma holder and will upgrade myself with a part time supply chain degree, enrolling in January.

Many thanks.

Didn't know how lonely this job could get sometimes, makes me wonder why I thought driving a truck across the country was a good idea

I just found out how we can solve all the "supply chain problems." Maybe people could... like... order things a week BEFORE they needed them? SMH

Was trucking my load across statelines, as one usually does. Turns out the new guy sitting next to me was never properly trained on how to secure said load inside the truck. Now we're trying to put everything back in it's place and it's so annoying. I don't blame him but still.

Would you say procurement or supply chain is the better career path for a new grad?

Looking for input on changing positions from a Buyer to an International Logistics Coordinator. I have international freight experience and have a potential opportunity. Financially, the move makes a lot of sense. Would this be good for career trajectory? For context, I have been a buyer for several years and this is my first 'real' job, so pretty early in my career.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone have the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) certification? If so, what is the benefit of obtaining this certification?

Saw this in another bowl so thought I’d do one here 😅

I am SCM analyst. Covid seems to have impacted the SCM industry a lot. Share if you’re comfortable and give a little background of your career journey / advice if you’ve been in the industry for 5+ years

Is there like a course that I can take to be prepared for a career in logistics?

What's the biggest delivery you've ever made? I just brought a 75,000 pound truck across 3 states and so far that's my record

Can someone enlighten me and tell me whether the industry as a whole is slow or if it's just me?

How do you make the jump from a tax accountant role (associate 1st yr) at a Big 4 firm to an entry level supply chain job?

Hey Logistics/Supply Chain Folks! 2021 was full of challenges in virtually every facet of the supply chain. What gives you all optimism for 2022?

For me it is how agile cross-functional teams with archaic tendencies have had to be to overcome! I hope that continues into 2022

My uncle is a HS math teacher and like a lot of teachers, he is looking to switch careers. I’m thinking there might be a place for him in logistics. What roles should he start looking at that might suit his skills?

Hello everyone new to the group here this is the first time posting in this forum. Don’t really know how to start but hopefully I can find some help here looking for new employment opportunities. I’m in the Houston area, it’s been a little hard finding a good lead.

Someone jumped in front of my truck a few weeks back (trying to kill themselves, luckily it didn't work) and now I'm feeling so much anxiety. I don't want to leave a job I loved though. How can I cope with this?

Most of my family members think all I do is write addresses on boxes and toss them in the mail. Is there anyone else who has this problem? It feels like people think of logistics as unskilled labor

Is it actually safe for my manager to ask me to drive my truck in the winter? I normally wouldn't mind since I've done it before, but this particular guy just told me to "drive slow" instead of providing me with the necessary safety measures to avoid accidents.
