Who has the best parental leave policies? Need advice

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Dang, sorry I meant to comment on the post!

Sunday 4/26 FYIsland thread! Tbh idk if I need to keep doing this, seems like people are figuring out where to go for what on their own 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm an IP Attorney for a global Fortune 500 company. I only focus on IP mainly patent prosecution, Right to Market searches, Patentability searches, Landscape Searches, advising the business on IP related agreements.

What are some secondary skills or speciality that could make me more than just an IP Attorney? Do any of you have other parts of your title? Just looking to grow and my head isn't super interested in that, but the CLO is, but doesn't know where he sees a gap for me right now.

Hello fam. T&E is back online.

I graduated with my bachelor's in HRM and I'm wondering if there are any certifications or trainings I could do before I lock down on the SHRM-CP. I recently became HIPAA certified for my company and that got me thinking about what else I could do to add to my resume. Looking for good stepping stone certificates.

Moving from the US to Singapore soon. On a 90k salary, how much should I budget for rent? Ideally I want to live in neighborhoods close to central locations such as Tanjong Pagar, but I’m not sure if it’s possible.

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.

Please let me know your inputs .

Is it possible to find a six-figure job right out of college? How long did it take you to start earning that kind of salary?

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.

Looking for input on changing positions from a Buyer to an International Logistics Coordinator. I have international freight experience and have a potential opportunity. Financially, the move makes a lot of sense. Would this be good for career trajectory? For context, I have been a buyer for several years and this is my first 'real' job, so pretty early in my career.

I just found out how we can solve all the "supply chain problems." Maybe people could... like... order things a week BEFORE they needed them? SMH

For those in the SCM industry, what is your job title and your daily responsibilities?

Huh… my company made me drive cross-country with a load that should've been refrigerated, only to be scolded at my destination because said load arrived spoiled. I only transport goods, it's not my job to ensure the quality of said goods!

Do you think logistics and supply chain management is an industry that can function effectively 100% remotely?

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?

What should I expect if I join the logistics industry?

Hello friends! Could use some help with likes to open up DMs. Experience in international humanitarian supply chains , happy to chat with anyone who is interested in that. Thanks in advance !

I'm glad people can order things online and get them the next day; but it makes my job harder because a lot of the people in my company don't see that we just don't have the infrastructure for that kind of operation, so they need to order it BEFORE they need it the next day

Was trucking my load across statelines, as one usually does. Turns out the new guy sitting next to me was never properly trained on how to secure said load inside the truck. Now we're trying to put everything back in it's place and it's so annoying. I don't blame him but still.

I’m burned out and looking at ways to leave the long hours behind while staying in the industry. How have you used your SCM skills as a freelancer or applied to a side hustle?
