I’m a local booze bag. When I go to bars and open a tab it seems like most of the time the next few beers, the bartender like doesn’t go to the machine and add it to the tab. However, when the dust settles, all beers are on the tab.
My question; Do bartenders not immediately run over to the machine as like a respect thing or they are just like “ah fuck it I’ll do it later”.
How early is too early? Flying out from O’hare as we speak and the bartender said they start serving at 5am lol.
Side note - $12 beers HAS to be classy.. What’re we doing here.
I’ve been at my job for about a year. It’s been miserable since about month one. They refuse to hire more people, the job is boring, the people are not enjoyable.. you name it.
About three months ago I almost walked out the door, but I thought “Ah fuck it.. I’ll just collect a check until they fire me”. Well… No one has fired me yet, nor do I see it happening anytime soon.
The past three months I have done literally nothing on purpose. Sometimes I get asked to do something and I just don’t do it. No one ever asks me about it again. I leave typically 30-60 minutes early, and no one has ever questioned it.
I am actively applying to other jobs and think I have something lined up but I’m so confused how for the past three months I’ve basically flown under the radar.
How long have you done this before leaving?
This guy literally talks out loud to himself all day. He tries to like make jokes that are like just not funny, but he says things and then laughs at them by himself.
Also.. If you ask him a question, he will answer it in 1-2 sentences, but will talk about the question for like 5 minutes. Either just repeating himself or trying to like further explain something when you have the answer.
I have to put an airpod in to drown this out. I’ve brought it up to the manager before and he just said “Ya he’s a little odd but can’t do much”.
What the hell do you do about this? It’s so fucking annoying. Like makes you want to quit your job annoying.
I feel like I don’t see many stories about those of us who graduated with a BS in Supply Chain Management.
I completed my BS in SCM in three months from WGU. I then got an entry level Supply Chain Assistant job for a manufacturing company making 55k a year. Almost immediately after graduating from WGU, I started an online MS in Industrial Engineering from UTK. I was also accepted into the online MSIE at LSU.
The goal of mine with WGU was to land me a job, and make me eligible for a Masters program. I was always going to “wash” the degree, but WGU did its job!
I now work as a Supply Chain Analyst making 90k a year. The degree from WGU is sorta overlooked due to the Masters, but again, it did its job. I’m not ashamed of it and glad I graduated with the SCM degree.
I have a BS in SCM. I've worked at a manufacturing company for about two years. I worked as a Supply Chain Assistant for a few months but the majority of the time at my current job has been as a production planner.
I was accepted to an Online MBA through Auburn University. They have MBA focus areas in Finance, Business Analytics, or SCM. I was also accepted into an online MS Industrial Engineering program through Tenn-Knoxville.
The MBA is 39k. The MSIE is 29k.
The MBA seems like the better long term degree, but the MSIE is obviously an engineering degree, sounds good on paper. At the same time, is it overkill for supply chain industry? I really don't think I ever want to go into like deep statistical analytical stuff. Also seems like everyone jokes about how Industrial Engineering is a joke?
Please help me because I'm lost.

I work as a manager for my company and I usually oversee about 5 people. My team is always like kids straight out of college and they either leave in a few years or move up and leave me.
We recently hired this lady who is like 30 years old and she is a complete moron. I hate to be mean but there is just no other way to describe her. She says she has 8 years of experience in the industry, but there is literally no chance.
I have explained to her everyday for two weeks how to do very simple data entry. It’s a task I think a middle schooler could pick up on. You look at a sales order from a client and then enter that information into our system. For whatever reason, she can’t understand it. I’ve built her a literal step by step guide and she gets stuck. She’s also so obnoxious. Just the way she talks is like that valley girl I’m better than everyone vibes.
She is getting paid 75k and didn’t know how to copy and paste in excel.
I told my boss this isn’t going to work and he said “just give her sometime”. Idk how she got hired, but I’m losing my mind.
Send help… or a flask…
I graduated with a BS in Supply Chain Management from WGU. I worked as a Supply Chain Coordinator for about 8 months and then moved to a new city and got a job as a Production Planner. I’ve been at that for about 18 months. I’m also about a year away from finishing an online MBA. I probably wouldn’t have done an MBA as soon as I did, but I’m already 29, and the company is paying for most of it. I have LSSGB and CSCP certificates.
At this time, I really don’t see myself leaving the company I work for, but it’s also not a huge company where they can promote me anywhere. They might throw the word “senior” in front of my job title and give me a $10k bump, but it won’t be anything crazy.
My question is, what sort of jobs could I actually move on to if I did start looking? My MBA focus is in Finance, and it’s not like a crazy top MBA program. War Eagle.
Has anyone had success with the online MBA? The numbers produced from the Full-Time program, with an average salary of $121k, are great, but if the online MBA doesn’t produce the same results, a price tag of $55,000 is much less compelling.
Bonus question, does anyone have an application fee waiver? I see if you attend a virtual event you’ll get an application waiver, but the next event is at noon during the work week… not ideal!
Does anyone know where you can find employment statistics for online MBA programs, or do these not exist for a reason? I work in the supply chain industry, and UGA seems like a great program fit.
The median salary for operations/logistics is $187,000, and the average salary is $121,000.
These numbers obviously reflect the full-time, in-person MBA program.
The online program costs $55,000. With the numbers mentioned above, I would have no issue with the cost and mentally marking it up as a career investment, but if the online program isn’t producing nearly the same results, I’m not interested in paying $55,000.
I was accepted into two online programs. Auburn at 39k and UGA at 55k.
I do live in the south but not Atlanta or Alabama. I work in the supply chain industry and looking to do an MBA to shift into a more finance related job. The company I work for won’t pay for anything.
Is there any reason to spend the extra 16k on the UGA program? UGA is a better school, but does that matter in my scenario?
I graduated with a BS in SCM at 27. I kinda fell ass backwards into this industry. I worked in property management for years before this. I now work as a Supply Chain Coordinator. I have been here for about a year and I want to get a Masters because my company will pay for most of it.
My manager said I should do an MS in Accounting because its “analytical and finance should be a background everyone in supply chain has”. I don’t disagree and I think there is room to move to cost accounting, supply chain finance, go into purchasing, etc.
From what I’ve read, it seems like an MBA is the more clear path for SCM grads. The general consensus for an MBA seems to be get 5+ years of experience than do the MBA, but seems like in supply chain people do the MBA much sooner. By the time I finished an MBA program it would be probably 2.5-3 years so I would have a decent amount of experience.
I like the idea of the MBA to have a more rounded business background without being stuck as an accountant. At the same time, I don’t want to get an MBA if it does absolutely nothing… MS in Business Analytics??
Help a brother out. Thanks
Which MS program would you recommend to someone who has a BS in SCM?
MS, Finance or MS, Industrial Engineering
My thoughts are that Finance can be translated to so many fields. On the other hand, an engineering masters degree is a great credential to have.
How much is finance needed in the Supply Chain industry vs how much do you need to know Linear Regression?
Almost every demand planner job I see never says you need to know more than excel… MAYBE they list SQL… So is an advanced Industrial Engineering overkill? Do Corporate financial principles correlate?
Thoughts?
I’m relocating from Chicago for work, where rental requirements have gotten genuinely insane. I’ve seen studio apartments asking for 4-6x income, 750+ credit. I was personally denied somewhere for having a $500 collections account from two years ago and not being above a 720.
My situation: income is $75k, credit sits in the high 600s to low 700s depending on the bureau, and yes I have a couple blemishes but nothing serious.
Is Nashville as aggressive with screening, or is it more reasonable? Just trying to get a realistic picture before I start applying so I’m not wasting app fees.
