I know that a lot of people are enjoying (or at least tolerating) working from home, and I sure hope it continues; the roads have much less traffic now and I am making deliveries quicker!

I really enjoy doing all the management from home, I have to go to the office to supervise once a week but it's not the same as going every day.

I love your reason to keep working at home from home, really we all win something with this right?

Well, your reason is great, but as a logistics manager, I prefer to work from the site of the action, that way I have the opportunity to verify that everything is in order before the orders go out.

As a procurement specialist, I have not returned to the office for 3 months, I do everything by mail or by video call, I am in another country looking for new suppliers and soon I will travel to another, I think that working from home has become work for me from the hotel.

I think working from home has boosted the business in many ways, you achieve better delivery times, others have more time at home to be aware of their families and at the same time we can be effective at work, everything is a win-win.

I don't feel comfortable working from home because I was used to my space in my office but now I don't have much privacy at home, I think I need to always be in my space, that is, in my office.

I was nearing complete burnout and considering a career change when the pandemic hit and we went remote. Completely changed how I view my work and I'm so much happier now.

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?
