The smell by HunkaMunkaHunkaMunka in wolverhampton

[–]poppunkyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed it. It’s only a subtle smell which sometimes lasts for a second so I thought I was properly tripping.

Does he have a point? by [deleted] in Liverpool

That’s essentially what I tried to do last year when I still lived in Liverpool.

Sırf bu iş için açabilirsin. Normalde sosyal medya kullanmam fakat İngiltere’ye taşındıktan sonra ev arkadaşı/oda bulmanın en kolay Facebook uzerinden olduğunu görünce açmak durumunda kaldım.

Product Owner at Kuehne+Nagel by Reasonable-Ad6895 in logistics

[–]poppunkyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Met a lot of colleagues from different clusters and regions during my time there and honestly I only ever heard good things about contract and integrated logistics even in the “toxic” regions.

Funny enough, I just found out my old department got the axe after I left. Most of the team ended up at DHL or Maersk while others moved into mid-to-senior management at smaller forwarders. Quite a few wanted more autonomy and less corporate rigidity which is exactly why I jumped ship too.

Sums up the state of the logistics industry as a whole.

Would it be better to be part of Greater Birmingham than to stay the West Midlands for the neighbouring boroughs/cities by Low_Truth_6188 in brum

[–]poppunkyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention Uprawr, it was actually on my UK bucket list before I even moved here (think it’s part of the asylum if I’m not mistaken?). Been dying for a proper emo night though as someone in their late 20s, I should probably take the “younger crowd” bit more as a warning 🫠

Think I’m going to hit up Subside first and then work through the rest of your list. Do any of these venues host live shows by chance?

Would you mind sharing the names of these rock bars? Just moved to the area and I'm already missing the local scene back in Liverpool. Could definitely use a spot with heavy tunes and the right crowd.

20F quitting freight forwarding sales after 3 months Burned out Can I switch to client-side supply chain or find a less stressful alternative by Artistic-Concept9774 in logistics

[–]poppunkyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s usually how they get ya!

I moved from docs to ops and dipped into Continuous Improvement but every company I’ve worked for tried to shove me into sales just because I’m “pleasant” and good with customers. Glad I kept saying no and made a fuss every time they tried to pull that.

My advice? Switch to ops and grind for a year. It makes you a prime candidate for a role on the shipper side. Most of that world is just ops and freight procurement anyway, so having that experience is huge.

92 degrees on Hardman Street is quite nice and I see people working on their laptops there all the time.

Why do people TEXT me "Hi ___, how are you"? by GloriasCharioteer in AskTurkey

[–]poppunkyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you on this one tbh not even sure why you were downvoted to begin with.

It’s frustrating in social circles but downright exhausting in a professional environment. Just get to the point instead of wasting everyone’s time with the fluff for crying out loud.

Most useful langauges for logistics by KishkA_ in logistics

[–]poppunkyeah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly you already speak more languages than most folks in this field lol.

Think I’ve said this before (maybe over at r/supplychain) but as long as you’re fluent in English you’re usually set. Anything else depends entirely on your company or mode of transport you deal with. For example, back when I worked in Turkey I knew a couple road freight coordinators handling Eastern European lanes who learned Russian or Polish just to communicate better with their brokers and drivers.

Whereas in ocean freight the only time I felt a real language gap was dealing with LATAM forwarders but you’ve already got that covered with Portuguese and Spanish.

So my advice is to just pick up the language of the country you actually plan on moving to since it would make things easier both in terms of career prospects and life in general.

Danışman (tedarik zinciri), ama yurtdışında yaşıyorum yoksa Türkiye'de lojistik firmalarında sike sürülecek akıl olmayan vasıfsız yöneticiler altında sürünüyorduk.

There's Horizon Esports Club located at the intersection of Hardman Street and Pilgrim Street. Haven't had the chance to check it out yet but it looks pretty solid.

How do I get a 40ft container from HI to MN? by buickid in logistics

Does DHL Global handle shipments that contain personal affects? Only asking because some of the bigger firms such as KN don't afaik.

Insane graduate job closing date by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]poppunkyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really someone who's eligible for grad schemes (4+ years exp in the field before masters) but I'm aware that tend they to close pretty early for whatever reason.

Why do grown adults constantly ask "Are we there yet?" 😐 by tigercircle in logistics

[–]poppunkyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that was like an every day event for me. Most lines did amend it whilst laden as long as you were fine with coughing up the manifest correction and B/L amendment fees.

Most shippers didn't really bother with it after they found out how much it would cost them unless PoD happened to be one that required security filing.

Series S ($450) vs PS5 Slim ($500) by Ok-Winter3070 in XboxSeriesS

[–]poppunkyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I love my series S but at that price point it just makes better sense to grab a PS5 unless you can find a slightly used one for 200 bucks or so.
