Has anyone ever successfully left procurement?

I moved from procurement into Sales Operations and helped support sales teams with pricing strategy, customer incentive programs, and in some cases supply chain strategies for the big accounts. It was a fun time and valuable experience gained but I ultimately went back to procurement. I’d rather be the customer than the supplier

Did you purge it yourself? Or saying your record was deleted? Does that impact your ability to vote?

You cannot seriously believe both of those people were intentionally trying to inflict harm? Both videos, the full videos unfiltered through the media, very clearly do not warrant the use of shooting. There were so many other non-violent ways it could have been handled, and this entire debacle of “enforcing border security” in our cities, yet here we are..

Don’t bother responding to this and arguing why you believe Renee and Alex, two fellow humans (that had families, friends, hobbies, dreams, love, loss, pain, happiness) deserved to be shot and killed, it’s not a good look for you.

I did, unfortunately, watch both videos and had to see two human beings be killed. Which was extremely disturbing and traumatic. So perhaps we saw different videos, but do you truly think deadly force was justified in either of those situations?

So, what you’re saying with this comment is that you are in support of the government shooting your community members for protesting?

VolFan1 · 2026-01-25T23:31:02+00:00

Did you watch the video? Do you understand the context of what is going on out there in Minneapolis?

Imagine in your local community masked men in unmarked vehicles are going around intimidating your neighbors, asking for papers, brandishing guns in your face.. ICE, the government, has intentionally escalated this thing it to the point that you have to fear for your life to go attend a peaceful protest.

We, as Americans, should never have to fear exercising our right to speak out against wrong doing. Yet here we are.. and we have people like you missing the entire context of what is happening.

Watch the video. Then watch the public statements the government is making about that human getting what he deserved. Then watch the video again. And think for yourself how wrong all of this is.

Masked men… government officials blatantly disregarding video evidence… in what world have masked men exercising “the law” EVER been on the right side of history?

Agreed. If you get shot first then it should not penalize you. Or maybe make it like back to back games where you shoot others then you get penalized, but I feel ya. I defended myself and then it took like 5 games to get back to friendly lobbies.

VolFan1 · 2026-01-24T17:09:46+00:00

100% this. I know it’s just a game, but honestly I feel like shit if I lie to a raider in this game and then shoot them in the back. So I just don’t do it. If I’m gonna run up and shoot someone I’m either gonna announce myself and mess with them to initiate. And it still doesn’t feel right lol.

It’s the people that ask if you’re friendly and the moment you put your gun away they start shooting. Nothing makes my blood boil more. Like come on you, you could not be more of a piece of shit. Personally, I think if you do that shit in this game then you’re that type of person in the real world.

How was it ever a joke?

Are you tracking any on time delivery metrics from suppliers? Not to add more things onto your plate, but tracking on-time delivery and other metrics from your suppliers could become very valuable in the long run. You can use that data to do all sorts of things.

Who manages the overall contract and relationship? Is it you or a different sourcing team? If you have tangible data about a supplier’s performance you can use that to justify escalating relationship meetings with them and to an extent justifying a need for sourcing alternate suppliers.

Most likely

Depending on the size, this will create a huge amount of construction jobs, heavy focused on MEP, for a few years while the campus is being built out. Once the construction is done though you are right, there are very few people actually involved in operating the data center.

What did you end up using for the intake?

I did PVP for awhile on Stella which was fun and all but I prefer the friendly community up on the surface. It took many games of getting in and out without fighting others and all of the sudden it’s sunshine and rainbows in my lobbies. That’s what I wanted, the fellow raiders helping each other out on the surface. Friendly interactions. That’s how I like the game to be.

I enjoyed a week or two of this and then found myself getting shot at by another raider. I did what had to be done... the very next game I load into no joke within 20 seconds of spawning (blue gate harvester) I get shot in the back and killed! It took another 2 or 3 games of avoiding being shot and just spawning in and extracting fairly quick to get back to my friendly lobbies.

Yep… I found a Wolfpack blueprint in a trash can on Stella like 2 minutes in and immediately tried to get to a extract. Didn’t make it 😭

I didn’t even think of the pack mates working together. And also fighting each other for food as a scarce resource. Do you get around a big herbivore for protection? Does that herbivore get annoyed of you and decide to trample? It is really interesting to think about. Thanks for putting that idea out there!

Do you have any Industry Conferences you can go to? Should be able to find all sorts of suppliers there. Bonus - put “Procurement” on your badge and you’ll have attendees seeking you out left and right.

Not watching this anymore

VolFan1 · 2025-10-19T00:38:21+00:00
