UK based. Looking for a general review of my CV. This is my master CV, intended as a comprehensive baseline to be tailored for specific roles. I am looking for feedback on structure, clarity, and whether senior operational experience comes through clearly. I am not actively applying yet, but preparing due to a likely redundancy in early 2026. I have spent 15+ years in a single organisation within the vehicle recycling and automotive parts sector, progressing from hands on roles into senior operations and management with a broad remit. This CV is aimed at Operations Manager, Branch Manager, Logistics Manager, or similar operational leadership roles outside of a family business environment....

The provision of **30 to 90 days of free storage** acts as a strategic buffer that significantly enhances the shopping experience for those purchasing from multiple Polish and European retailers. Based on the sources, here is how this extended storage period benefits a multi-retailer shopper: **1. Facilitates Maximum Cost Savings through Consolidation** The most significant benefit of a lengthy free storage period is that it allows ample time for **package consolidation**. • **Wait for All Orders:** Shoppers can order from various platforms—such as **Allegro, Amazon Poland, eBay, and local brands like Reserved or Smyk**—at different times without pressure. • **Single Shipment vs...

I started a new job a couple months ago as a warehouse associate for a pretty large shipping company here in Arkansas. I got certified to drive a forklift, load trucks, and move pallets back and forth. It’s a pretty easy gig and the pay’s more than I’ve ever made before. I’d say things were looking up but I’ve been having some trouble fitting in with my new coworkers. I’m not the most outgoing or confident dude in the world. In fact, making myself into one of the guys has been pretty **** near impossible for me all my life. With every new job, you wander into a pre-determined work culture with cliques, social hierarchies, and a whole history that you’re not a part of an...

While everyone was talking about gold, another metal was moving silently - copper. Copper hit $12,000 per ton in 2025, for the first time. This year, supply took repeated hits. Indonesia saw a fatal accident. Congo faced floods. Chile had a rock blast. Different places, same result - copper supply tightened. At the same time, demand has only increased. EVs, power grids, factories, AI data centers, and energy infrastructure all need copper. A lot of copper. Most of the global inventory is currently stored in US warehouses as the US pushes for self-sufficiency. Because of this, manufacturers outside the US - including in Asia and India - are paying more to secure stock, adding p...

Overseas orders from **Taobao** and **1688** follow a cost structure that differs from standard international e-commerce. Understanding this structure is essential for controlling total spend and avoiding unexpected fees. # Core cost components A typical overseas order includes four layers of cost: 1. **Product price** The domestic selling price listed by the Chinese seller. 2. **Domestic shipping** Delivery from the seller to a China-based warehouse. Some sellers include this fee; others charge separately. 3. **Service and handling fee** Covers domestic purchasing, receiving, storage, inspection, and order management. 4. **International shipping** Calculated after consolidation, base...

Hello I moved cities a few months ago and I found a job off the bat which was nice. I worked there up until the beginning of this month, left because management was becoming incredibly hostile (and by management I mean the one guy who owned the store) and would yell at me and his dog who he’d leave in the store unattended. As you can guess, it was a generally uncomfortable situation. Left that job and had another one lined up, but it fell through and I’ve been unemployed for a few weeks. I feel insane. I moved here to have more access to diversity and job opportunities, but I’ve applied to over 140 indeed job listings and only had a handful of interviews. I have enough money in my ...

I hear this complaint constantly, and honestly, I lived it myself. Twenty years ago, someone buys a set of “expensive” cotton sheets, uses them for a decade or two, and they slowly soften, age gracefully, and eventually wear out like a good pair of jeans. Then they go back to the market, spend similar (or more) money, and those sheets are shredded in 2–4 years. The natural conclusion is: *they don’t make good sheets anymore.* They do. But the way we’re taught to shop for them is completely broken. I’ve spent years around textiles, bedding, and sleep setups, and after reading through threads like this one, the pattern is always the same. People aren’t buying *bad* sheets — ...

That “just in case” mindset is the #1 enemy of a clean home. It turns our closets into museums of “maybe” and our drawers into graveyards of “possibly.” If you struggle with the guilt of letting go of perfectly functional (but currently useless) items, you need the **20/20 Rule.** # What is the 20/20 rule? The Minimalists developed the 20/20 Rule, a simple mental filter. This enables you to swiftly decide on essential items. It specifies that you can safely release an item if: 1. It costs less than **$20** to replace. 2. It can be replaced in less than **20 minutes** from your current location. # Why It Works: The Cost of “Mental Rent” Every object in your home “c...

Many operations struggle with growing inventory levels, rising storage costs, and slow order fulfillment. In some cases, the issue isn’t demand — it’s that goods spend too much time **inside the warehouse**. **The problem:** * Inventory waits days or weeks before shipping * Handling and storage costs keep increasing * Fast-moving products still go through full put-away cycles **A possible solution:** Cross-docking changes the flow entirely. Instead of storing products, inbound goods are received, sorted, and quickly transferred to outbound shipments — sometimes within hours. This approach can reduce storage needs, speed up deliveries, and lower handling costs, but it only works...

I possess the largest supply chain for department store small commodities, with 30,000 items, three 10,000-square-meter showrooms and warehouses, and global supply needs. Contact me for assistance.

Got $100 total for Christmas this year between gifts and food and trying to make it work without going into debt. Here's what helped me, all free to use Facebook marketplace for gifts. Parents sell barely used toys and books for like 70% off retail. Search by recently posted and filter by price, message fast because good deals go quick. Dollar tree app shows what's in stock at your location before you drive there. Their wrapping paper and gift bags are identical to target's expensive stuff, saves like $15 just on that. Flipp pulls all the grocery store sales flyers in one place. I check it before shopping so I know where the loss leaders are, been getting turkey and butter ...

Hi Food LA, does anyone know of restaurants doing discounted gift card promos for the holidays? I know Burger Lounge is doing a buy $100, get an extra $25 promo and Il Fornaio is doing a buy $100 for $85 and also get an extra $20 promo card. Costco also has some $100 for $80 gift cards with more local restaurants/chains in-warehouse vs national chains online.

Was scrolling instagram reels when I got an ad for this account.

So my uncle told me about this Pizza Hut he worked at back in the day in Florida and bro I still can't believe this **** actually happened. Apparently the manager was just... buying frozen pizzas from the grocery store and serving them to customers. Like straight up DiGiorno or whatever, just tossing them in the Pizza Hut ovens and boxing them up in Pizza Hut boxes. My uncle said they'd do it during rush hours when they were slammed or sometimes when they ran low on dough or toppings. And he actually showed me receipts too - like he had old photos on his phone of the walk-in freezer just stacked with Red Baron and Tombstone boxes sitting right next to the actual Pizza Hut ingredi...

So, my first job was Subway and I worked on and off at Subway until I was about 17. Subway was the worst job I’ve ever worked. In my opinion, Subway tends to be pretty short staffed, or they just don’t schedule people to save on labor cost. I’ve worked at 5 different locations, and experienced this at all of them. At the Subway I mainly worked at, I was usually scheduled by myself when closing. Because of that, everything after the openers left was on me to get done on top of serving all the customers. Most of what was expected of me was making bread and prepping if needed or if food was expired, make cookies, sweep and mop, do all the dishes, take down tea, wash soda nozzles, put up...

Bought a lot of used cars on eBay. Bunch of broken cars to be trashed. But got some 1:43 modifiers I was after. This impala is definitely beaten up, and surely not worth anything. I don’t collect these, nor do I have place to store it. Have a few options on my mind on mind where to put this thing. 1) front garden bed. Mostly shaded, gets watered daily in the summer. 2) between the houses. Clay soil. Lots of sunlight, minimal moisture. 3) back yard. Full sun, watered in the summer. 4) warehouse at work. Have machinery and forklifts that leave lots of nasty dust around. 5)suggestions? I don’t really know. But think it would be cool to set this somewhere and check on it monthl...
