I have been in logistics for 15 years and I liked it a lot better before Covid. Now, I find myself attending meetings at very odd times, including during the very early hours of the morning.

How did Barclays helped it's employees during COVID?? Did they fire anyone???

What’s the typical range of base and total comp for Associate 1 & 2 at a RX group of an EB (but not Evercore or Centerview who have jaw dropping comp)? I know the ball park of numbers pre-COVID but wonder how big the movements have been after COVID and the last IB pay raise. Thank you!

I’ll probably be alone this Christmas and I’ve been living alone during Covid. I’ve been fine and done tons of hobbies but thinking about spending the holidays alone is getting to me. Anyone else feeling this? I feel like telling my family I don’t want to join any zoom things and just skip Christmas this year. I’m mentally exhausted.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;

Cuba enforces a 15 day covid lock down. Fines are $150 (4x the wage of the average Cuban). Police on every road out of Havana making sure citizens have special permits and gas stations cannot sell gas to privately owned vehicles. Stores can only sell to those that live locally.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend. Seems there is a slight increase in Covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to allow me to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

I don’t understand protesting during a pandemic. I haven’t gotten Covid and to me it’s not worth the risk.

Help me with my struggle!

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.

Did anyone see their salary or bonus increase due to COVID? If so, how? Did you change jobs?

Going to Charlioftsville next weekend, any wineries, restaurants, breweries, hiking etc...to do there during COVID. Appreciate your insight!!!!

Got a client who’s asked for a POV on how covid-19 will affect buys across ALL verticals & channels. Of course it’s urgent. Can we please share what our companies are saying? Teamwork time, folks.

Is it too late to get biontech stock? Seems like we are going to get vaccines for Covid on a regular basis?

Sometime I feel like I'm operating at lower capacity than during the height of Covid trying to navigate billables and no childcare/remote school. Anyone else feel this way? Are we just burnt out from all the working nights and weekend in 2020/2021?

Recently received notice from landlord rent is going up ~20%. For reference, it is privately owned condo and did not sign at a COVID discounted rate. Super frustrated. What are others seeing for rent increases?

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

Hello Guys, I got offer from Legato, My DOJ on next week. My project is IngenioRX. Do anyone work in this project. How will be the wlb in this project.

Will they allow me to work from home after the covid pandemic is over?

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

AMA- consulting/ corporate strategy/ M&A

Hey all! While I stay in quarantine to assess a potential COVID exposure, I figured I’d host an Ask Me Anything for the above topics/ career tracks.

I’m a 27 year old manager, who’s been in consulting for 4.5 years, directly out of college, in Accenture doing M&A strategy for Financial Services & Life Sciences. I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability (mostly everything except client details ofc).

In terms of total comp, who do you think makes more: an EP at an agency or a mid level producer at a FAANG company?

Curious to see other producers’ opinions. How often should an agency producer ask for a raise? And what % raise seems reasonable in NYC if title isn’t changing?

My back hurts so I’ve been laying on the floor looking at Fishbowl all day instead of doing my job.

I am looking to start my own supply chain management company. I have some friends from my previous company who said they would like to join my company instead, and I know I have to rent/buy some trucks. What other supplies/roles should I look to start filling? Also what legal documents should I prepare?

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

I'm glad people can order things online and get them the next day; but it makes my job harder because a lot of the people in my company don't see that we just don't have the infrastructure for that kind of operation, so they need to order it BEFORE they need it the next day

Do you think logistics and supply chain management is an industry that can function effectively 100% remotely?

With economic sanctions on Russia and the crisis in Ukraine, can anyone explain the implication of supply chains disruption for everyone and not just those countries directly exposed?

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

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.

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.

Amazon has changed people's expectations with their overnight deliveries and yeah, that's convenient and everything but WOW are people getting impatient with shipping speeds!

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?

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

What do you like the least about working with supply chain management?

What should I expect if I join the logistics industry?

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.

Does anyone else feel like distribution is the most behind-the-times of any department within a company? I work for a major automotive brand and some of the facility managers write and read at a 9th grade level, cannot properly use virtually anything in Office, etc.
