I'm a director for a logistics company and I'm heartbroken because on Monday I'll have to lay off my entire staff and declare bankruptcy. Things have been hard since 2020, clients dropping left and right and costs are rising. We don't have money at all to provide for our employees, let alone to cover some of our debt. I never would've expected to be in this situation but life is unpredictable.

Would anyone please clarify this query.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

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?

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.

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?

Once again, I am left with the remnants of the mess that my manager created by not keeping a close eye on our operations team. Now, a shipment is missing, and guess who is dealing with all the emails and phone calls?

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.

Smile whenever you come into your office. The work we do makes life easier for thousands of professionals worldwide, so it should not be taken lightly.

Does anyone have a good way of managing customer profiles? Working in logistics I speak with a lot of different customers, carriers, warehouses, brokers, etc and I am looking for a way to organize the notes I have for each one that I can filter through. My company most likely won’t purchase new software but we do have basic Microsoft programs. TIA !
