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

It is because they have never gone through a responsible framework like ours, there are people who simply have a total dissociation from the world.

When this is the case, ask them about the Amazon packages that arrive, not only those that take 1 day but all those that arrive just on time, that is a logistics job that they do not notice because they feel that it is something automatic.

Obviously, these people do not know the true stress, as logistics personnel we are in charge of handling a load in a responsible, careful manner and at the correct times, in addition to that, we have to take into account the courier and many other variables to complete an excellent job.

Many things about our work are not seen and are underestimated, even my own storage department underestimates our work until we hold a meeting and show the results, then everything changes.

Your family needs you to expose all the phases of your work, it is not a job to be sitting alone at a PC, you must move, go directly to the storage, have everything ready to receive or send the orders, follow up, talk to the client, do Customer follow-up, in short, a world of things.

People seem to think that logistics is an unskilled labor, but I believe that it is a highly skilled field. It takes a lot of training and experience to be able to coordinate the movement of goods and services. I have been in the logistics industry for many years, and I know that it is not an easy job.

There is a lot of planning and coordination that goes into ensuring everything arrives at the right place and time. The people who do this work are vital to making sure everything runs smoothly and I appreciate all their efforts!

There are many people who view logistics as an unskilled labor. This is a problem because it devalues the work that logisticians do and makes it difficult for them to be taken seriously. Logistics is a critical function in any organization, and it should be treated as such.

There is definitely a lot of work that goes into logistics and it's definitely not unskilled labor! I think people may have this problem because they don't understand what logistics is and just see it as moving things around.

But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from).
