Is everyone still finding items are super hard to get? Not cleaning supplies but general shopping. For example, I’ve been trying to get some Back on Track products for months and even their customer service doesn’t have an idea of when items will become available again.

There are lots of item classes that are still in short supply. It's dependent on a number of factors related to the involved supply chain. Global shipping was already a huge mess due to COVID and then the Suez Canal blockage exacerbated it.

All of the production resources were diverted to the vaccine microchips.

Dude, it's 475 AD again. Things are starting to fall apart and will come unglued rapidly. I'm trying to get things like physical gold/silver, tools, solar panels, long-life food before they become unavailable.

Yeah and nothing is available on iKEA either due to supply chain issues (Covid related)

Is it really Covid related at this point though? Cleaning supplies have been in full stock at stores for a while, not sure why I haven’t been able to get things since Christmas and there’s no end in sight.

Maybe it’s all in attempt to impact the market - create extremely low supply to drive up demand/price

The shortages aren’t some sort of market manipulation but rather disrupted supply chains. Weakening dollar causing prices to rise quickly too

I have a blocker scheduled for lunch every day but constantly get meetings scheduled over it. Team is in timezones across the US (I’m PST) but this means I frequently have 4 hours of meetings spanning 10 am-2 pm- makes it super hard to focus 4 hours in a row without breaks/eating. Any ideas for better work-life balance?

Would you take a VP role at 4 months pregnant? I’m in house at Manager level and been offered VP at a large agency. Nice raise and obviously title will open doors. But I’m scared about going back to agency life and it’s hours and workload with a new baby. Can’t decide whether to take the jump now so it benefits me in long run or take the route which will likely be easier on me as a new mom and potentially risk slowing down career. Really torn.

How many years have you been in consulting, and how many flights have you missed? For me, 3 years and 2 flights. Technically missed several other flights as well but they weren’t a big deal (next flight took off in an hour and I still got there before anyone else) or were on purpose (called delta and asked to be transferred to the next flight because I wanted to sleep in more). 2 flights that were actually an issue - final answer.

Decided to get into anime in my free time and starting with Attack on Titan.

It’s an interesting genre and artistic design, so I’m open to other anime but I want to have proper expectations.
