My cousin is an exec at Yellow - he told me last week that it's so much worst than what we're told. Regulation, pay, tariffs, Pandemic, abysmal trade policies from the past 20+ years have created a perfect storm.Pwns wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:41 am My cousin is in supply chain management and has told me the irate calls people have to deal with are just UNREAL and they've even gotten police involved multiple times. It's a self-perpetuating cycle because labor shortages causes things to slow down, which produces irate customers, which causes people to quit and leads to more labor shortages.
I will say too that tele-work should've normalized many years ago. I'm so sick of people out there that think me and other millenials want to live in large cities because we can't bear not being near a Starbucks or not having lots of Tinder matches. Horse****. Where do you think most of the jobs for college-educated people are? The crowded, expensive craphole large cities can't start hemorrhaging people fast enough for me.
And I took the pandemic as an excuse to upgrade my coffee machine (still wish I had gotten the one with the espresso maker.)
