I’m working on getting certs and additional training. I have experience in sourcing and can be a “low level” analyst since that is what I do. I’m not just placing orders. I’m analyzing risk and also mini project managing.
Sorry but that is not my reality.
I moved forward with my life and even met someone. Things are going well.
Today, I was alone for hours, quit drinking, had thoughts to myself and it broke me.
I realized that I have deep love for my ex. I’m remembering past summers and it hurts so bad.
It has been nearly a year post breakup. I think of her face, voice, love and our attachment to each other.
I miss her so much today. I wish we could of worked it out and grew old together. I thought I was over this enough but it is eating at me and i’m living in regret of not fixing my part of the relationship.
Early 30s and it is time to make the change for me.
Not going to lie it has been fun. However, the heavy drinking bouts have gotten out of control.
I’m trying to manage alcoholism. Anyone from the Boston area want to share experiences and just support? I’m feeling a bit anxious about the change and guilty about past drinking.
What hobbies have you picked up while sober?
I’m extremely disappointed by the number of issues that are dumped on to me by engineers and other departments especially during prototypes. My boss is trying to set up a process for it to stop.
Engineers They think all they need to do is provide an un official drawing and all I have to do is “buy”.
The drawings have typos, mistakes, are incomplete all of a sudden i’m managing that with supplier and engineer’s. Back and forth, deadline pressure and lead time reductions,
We are phasing out an old revision. Now i’m managing our weekly shipments, the suppliers trucking space constraints, internal warehouse space, while ensuring enough inventory of the legacy product trickles in as engineers approve the new one. To make it worse our forecast is low. I had to manage fixing the numbers with demand plan, we have a surge above our demand plan which no one told me about until we ran out. Once we move to a new rev we can’t use the old. So i was managing not having too much scrap.
Finally, we have 3 days of legacy inventory. If it takes the engineers more than 3 days to approve (they told me it will take a day) now no one is taking a lead from their department.
I will have to pivot and tell the supplier to run legacy while we further test the new revs.
This is just one fire i’m fighting ontop of managing 50% of all our parts and the regular buying functions. I’m doing this with near zero support and will ultimately be blamed if we run out.
I just wanna know if this is above what you expect in my role? I’m considering making a case for a promotion if that is what i’m doing.
I’m a millennial so i’m prob like 5 years older so not fully out of touch with Gen Z.
This person is extremely combative and demanding when she needs my help. I caught her on IM complaining about me over not changing the time on a meeting (simple mistake). “He din’t change the fucking meeting time”
Each time I have a problem with something she wants I see her muttering to her friends or someone else about my work.
It’s starting to anger me. I’m too busy to point out her mistakes but she makes a few and has tasks open for months that all of a sudden need to get done same day when it’s at the signature portion which is my task.
She also assumes that I understand what she needs or wants. She handed me a stack of papers that she needs my department to sign. I hate interacting that I asked another member of my team for context. Suppliers have told me over the phone she is combative.
Finally, they create like a high school cafeteria group at lunch where they all sit and just talk smack about everyone.
It’s like walking on eggshells and like they can’t do wrong. I’m getting seriously pissed at the clique, snobby behavior, and not being considerate that I may be having issues. Finally, I hate how annoyed this person gets when I ask a question and need help. She makes it seem like i’m stupid and an idiot.
It’s getting to the point where i’m getting heated and want to actually start pointing out her mistakes and giving her the same treatment.
New roommate is making me uncomfortable. She is constantly crying and screaming at night and in the morning. She has started to sing at 10pm at night in the front yard of the complex disturbing everyone else. It was bizarre since it was pitch black. She is striking conversations and sitting in the neighbors front yards.
She stares and watches me creepily. Also, she picked up some roots from the ground and came to my room to hand them as a gift. This is making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I declined the gift and she kept insisting.
This was a mistake and not sure how to get her to leave.
She does not have a bank account (shocking) to me. She gave her ex partner my cell to venmo me cash to give to her without my permission.
I will do a better job vetting roomates in the future but need to get outa this hell soon.
World cup fever is strong. What do we have open late?
I would bring happy hour and extend T hours.
I’m a supply chain buyer who was going to update our reports and run them on powerbi.
They just hired a BI guy and he will be taking the project.
I’m so swamped with work that I have not been able to take this.
I feel offended and like my boss thinks im not smart enough.
Just need to vent and advice. I’m so pissed i want to get in my car and quit.
I’m so swamped with fire fighting that there isn’t time to innovate or learn new skills.
