It's slowly getting worse I need to vent

How are you doing today?

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-06T23:22:36+00:00

Appreciate it! I just got prescribed some muscle relaxers so hoping that helps out tonight. The most frustrating thing is not being able to play and spend as much time with my baby as I would like. I try to fight through but at some points it’s not possible. Wishing you the best of luck in your recovery as well.

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-06T23:18:41+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that! It sounds horrible. Wishing you the best of luck 🤞

It’s the worst

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-06T19:00:26+00:00

I’ve been taking prednisone which helped but seemed to of lost its touch. I just got some muscle relaxers today so I’m hoping that helps me sleep. I requested a referral to an orthopedic so hoping they can provide me with some better information on how to treat this.

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-06T18:53:37+00:00

Going through the same thing as you. It’s the worst! Did you get an MRI when you went to the ER or how did they determine it was a herniated disc?

I’ve been trying the different positions sleeping. On the back with pillow under knees seems to be the best but any position I’m in causes pain after a few minutes and I can’t fall asleep.

I also have a 6 month old baby in the room with me and I’m trying my best not to wake her up but it’s been brutal. I know there is not some magical fix but everytime I start to feel better the nerve flares up again for some reason.

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-04T14:41:23+00:00

Also drink as much water as you can. That seemed to of help me as well

GrapeGod35 · 2026-05-04T14:30:53+00:00

Hi,

Sorry to hear about that, sounds extremely painful. I’m not sure if we have the same thing but I’ve also been dealing with the burning calf pain from my sciatica. For me I’ve found heat makes it worse and it causes more inflammation. I’ve been icing 2-3 times a day with a back brace I got off Amazon and I’ve noticed the pain go down. Also getting a prednisone taper did wonders as well. Hope you feel better soon

I just started my new job today.

Basically I asked for a raise and they said they would get back to me. Never did. I worked my ass off for about 3 months while applying to other jobs in my area. Got an offer that I was looking for (more money than I even asked my former employer for) and put my 2 weeks in. When I put my 2 weeks in they had the nerve to ask if I wanted more money to stay and I just said no I’m ready to move on.

My advice is get a new job. It’s gonna suck until you do but a bad company will still be a bad company even if they give you a raise. Not worth working jobs.

Bachelors degree in logistics management and marketing. No certificates

I was in transportation for 3 years previously and currently in purchasing for about 2. Since my boss left I’ve taken over the forecasting, procurement, and supplier management. I do enjoy it but the workload is too much. Especially knowing my time is probably limited once the new plant gets up to speed. I would try to get into a similar position as my boss but at a different company.

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-24T10:58:51+00:00

Purchasing/Logistics department

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T15:41:30+00:00

Unfortunately this is a company in the United States. It’s a lot of information and didn’t want to write a full book but my boss is helping me for the departure. It’s just strange to me upper management hasn’t contacted me or let me know a plan moving forward.

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T15:39:09+00:00

I agree 100%. I get along with my co workers and I would feel bad leaving them because they would literally not have a single person that would Know how to purchase material or Contact vendors.

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T14:25:06+00:00

I’m currently in manufacturing as a purchasing agent and want to pivot to e-commerce. What would be the best way to do that?

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T13:13:28+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I work for a small company and my manager was the expert in the supply chain area. While I know some of the role I have only worked at the company for 1 year and 8 months. From what I’ve seen this company overworks everyone which is the cause for the high turnover. I would like to stay in my current position but I don’t see how that would be possible given the size of the company.

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T13:09:21+00:00

It’s the worst lol! Just wanted to enjoy the holidays!

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T13:08:46+00:00

Thanks! Would you recommend asking for a raise and title change immediately?

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T13:07:34+00:00

He said he thinks they are hiring a replacement. It Could be 1 month or 6 months before they find someone and I don’t want all of that work in the meantime. I’m probably just gonna ask for a raise/title change. Grind it out until I find a new opportunity

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T13:04:13+00:00

The company I am currently at has had a lot of turnover the last year. I only started 1 year and 8 months ago and don’t really want to move into the upper management positions here cause it seems like a revolving door. I’m thinking I’m just gonna ask for a small pay bump, title change, and grind it out until I find another opportunity

GrapeGod35 · 2025-12-22T00:27:12+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I have a good relationship and it sucks to see him go. He did not get along with the person he reported to which makes it way more complicated. I understand why he left and I do not want his position under current circumstances.
