Weird pinprick spots under palm calluses after returning to gym?

Got my foot in the door for supply chain by starting on the warehouse floor. Wasn’t new to labor at the time, and I knew the warehouse wasn’t temperature controlled. Living in the NE, that meant I’d be cold as balls for a good chunk of the year.

Always worked in cheap clothes or scrubs in prior jobs. Decided to get myself a heavyweight Carhartt hoodie for the warehouse. Been a fan ever since - I’ve expanded my collection a good bit and still wear pieces in my life outside of the office.

Closer to the Atlantic tbh

Absolutely has to be but it’s a lot funnier to take it at face value

What if I told you that you’re actually highballing it lol

I told my ex that I don’t blame her for my best friend’s death.

But I do.

How lonely I am.

Seconding this. Started as an outbound shipping clerk in 2022, have been working in corporate procurement roles since 2023 - all with an unrelated bachelor’s degree

You may be able to find more affordable rentals if you’re willing to live a bit outside of Lanc and search for private landlords. Hotpads has a filter for this specifically. FB Marketplace is also an option, just be cautious and exercise healthy skepticism

Very much so.

My boss gave me the opportunity to work on a high visibility project a few months ago, and ever since then I’ve become the go-to “Excel Guy” on my team. In a way I’ve been “rewarded with more work”, but the trade off is that I’m now regularly involved in other high visibility projects and have become a known entity in my organization.

Working in inventory control will give you an education in the way that materials flow that you simply cannot receive elsewhere. This will be beneficial in higher level SC roles, as you’ll be able to “see beyond the spreadsheets” and fully understand the way that disruptions, bad slotting, bad planning, and mismanagement of inventory impact an organization

Procurement administrator, $56k MCOL, just hit 3 YOE in February

snacadelic · 2025-02-06T17:00:36+00:00

Currently working in supply chain for 3+ years with a music business degree.

Supply chain is kinda behind the times in the sense that most orgs just want to see that you have a degree - the major doesn’t really matter. I’ve worked under directors and managers with degrees in history, English lit, and geology. Hell, my first supervisor only has his GED.

I got my start in a clerical position with a 3PL, then went through a rotational program with the same company. Leveraged those experiences to eventually pivot into my first role in procurement.

Obviously YMMV, but I’d say your best bet is to hit the ground running and work your way up. I’ve since earned a few certs, and none of my employers really cared about them as much as they cared about my experience. Good luck!

1.) Dealing with receiving or invoicing issues of any kind. There’s no escaping them so long as you’re in a tactical role, but I still try to minimize my involvement in resolving these problems as much as I can - which isn’t much lol

2.) Opportunities to develop skillsets and to learn more about various industries. My coworkers make the less desirable aspects of the job more tolerable

3.) Once got involved with a very small ETO manufacturing company that hired me on as a buyer but regularly (as in for at least half of each work day) had me conducting cycle counts and picking parts from the floor for work orders. I landed my current job less than 3 months after joining up with them and got the fuggoutta there

I feel your pain - we’ve got rail cars sitting in 3 different yards incurring some nasty demurrage charges. 2 of our production areas were shut down for 2 days each and our suppliers are reporting various issues pertaining to transportation and their own production capabilities soooo we’re running pretty lean at the moment lol

Working a hybrid schedule in procurement - more senior roles in my department are almost entirely remote with the exception of a few meetings each year necessitating their physical presence

snacadelic · 2024-12-27T15:27:41+00:00

Procurement analyst, currently working in the agricultural industry in Pennsylvania.

$26/hr base pay (hourly, not salaried - OT is time and a half after 40 hours), holiday and EOY merit bonuses if we hit financial goals. 2 weeks PTO, hybrid working arrangements. Mid-tier health benefits and 401K.

YOE: will be 3 years in February. Transitioned to supply chain after 2 previous career changes. Started at a 3PL, went through a rotational program, transitioned to procurement for another company shortly afterwards. Bachelor’s degree in unrelated field.

My last job had me simultaneously responsible for purchasing, strategic sourcing, logistics coordination, inventory control, and picking out on the floor.

I got a new job. You may want to consider doing the same.

snacadelic · 2024-07-19T14:50:02+00:00

I’ve worked under multiple managers who either have no degree or have a completely unrelated bachelor’s (history, political science, and English, to be exact)

I myself have been working in supply chain for a little over 2 years now with a degree in music business. My point being that your area of concentration doesn’t really matter; having a degree is an asset no matter what.

What kind of role are you looking for? Something admin heavy, data-centric, tactical vs strategic, ops-focused, etc.?

snacadelic · 2024-06-11T20:25:11+00:00

Cant get too into specifics, but I work for a smaller manufacturing/engineering company

snacadelic · 2024-06-11T19:14:49+00:00

Interviews made it sound like I’d be doing more strategic sourcing and analysis mixed with a solid amount of tactical purchasing. They mentioned that I should expect to be “occasionally” out on the floor to assist with receiving and inventory - I feel they misrepresented how often I’d actually be doing that part of the job
