I have two containers that have been stuck at port waiting on rail for over 2 months. Advice for convincing customers that I’m not secretly hoarding their items?

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

Opinion time: Is it unprofessional for women NOT to wear makeup to work?

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

Welcome!
I started this group in hopes of connecting with like minded HR partners.

Recommender asked me if I wanted to write my LOR and have them sign off. I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness but they wanted to be sure they accurately captured what they needed to. Would you just ask her to run a first pass and offer to review after?

Is it fair game to report someone’s particularly polarizing IG posts to HR? Was friendly with this person but now I wouldn’t ever want to work with them after some of the things they’ve posted.

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

Do managers tend to make a scene while you put your papers?

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

I’m a Middle Eastern male and quite ashamed of it honestly. I feel it may set me back often in the corporate world. Not sure how to address this. 😣😢

KPMG: where is your strongest group, geographically? One of my clients is using you for internal audit assist, and they managed to majorly fuck up multiple areas in the weeks before we filed.

Joined ZS 7 months ago but never interacted with PD coach yet. Is it important?

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

Someone senior at work is very dismissive of my questions and makes me feel nervous around them. I have just joined the team and so I have a lot of questions. They also try to blow things out of proportion or misrepresent facts and I get flustered in the moment and can’t keep track of what really happened. So I end up accepting blame for things that were not my responsibility. And the truth hits me a few hours later. How can I break this cycle?

My account partner is doing a terrible job and will be getting fired—timeline TBD. Given we are living in a pandemic, I want to give them a heads up to start job hunting. How inappropriate is that? How could I do it?

I have accepted an offer.

My “future boss” will go on maternity leave within 30 days of me joining the new company.

How can I make it easier for myself and worthwhile for my boss to trust me while she is gone?

Any tips will be highly appreciated.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Hello all-

I’m asked to work a Throughput report that seems to be off with forecasting. From my understanding we are off by 2,200 being able to ship. I work in Exports for international. Our main system to pull reporting is SAP. Any suggestions what transaction would provide closer accuracy?

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

People say I'm weird, but it's always been my dream to become a truck driver just like my dad. It's not the most glamorous job out there, but it was enough for him an it's enough for me.

Thoughts about drones making deliveries? I'm really not sure I like the idea. I mean yes, it has the "cool factor," but it makes me worry about our jobs disappearing.

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?

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?

I worked at two different food delivery companies with nearly polarized cultures. One was transparent and collaborative, allowing ideas to come from anywhere in the organization. The other was very secretive, and you could only focus on what you were assigned to do. In your opinion, what defines a great company culture?
