Lol I think very few would say no to this!

Exactly. Haha. Most of us would automatically say no.

As some things got better, others grew worse. Will be like this all year I bet. It's like they're out to get me on purpose.

They're absolutely not getting any better. Even though this is typically a slower time of year for shipping, we have a sizable backlog of orders from last year, so it has been extremely challenging to find vessel space. Volumes are still at historic highs.

Well we are absolutely dealing with a slump where supply has worsened to the point that we had to scale back production by 30 percent.

While nothing about the current situation of the supply chain has significantly worsened, there are a variety of reasons why freight delays and disruptions are still occurring.

It's getting worse. I don't really know what will happen in the future. I guess we'll just wait and find out.

Of course! I'd be lying if say no. And the economy is not helping at all.

I think most of us feel the same. I mean, the industry's situation is almost the same in every part of the world right now.

Definitely. Almost every day, I'd say. Well, nothing's new.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
