A Year Ago, Today
One year ago today, on January 16, 2024, I went to the ER.
“How can I help you?” the hospital receptionist asked.
“I think I need psychiatric help,” I said.
After almost 4 months of not sleeping, feeling anxious and my stomach a mess (and no answers as to why), I started to lose hope that I would ever feel normal again.
After some blood tests and X-rays in the ER, I met with a psychiatrist. She gave me a choice: I could go home with some additional meds or I could get admitted to the psychiatric ward. The latter did not appeal to me at all (I was scared to do it, to be honest), but as my wife pointed out, I had been trying to solve this health mystery on my own (with some help from my primary doctor), but nothing was working, so maybe it was worth trying something different.
I spent six nights in the psychiatric ward.

A September 2023 Harvard Business Review article (“How to Address the Supply-Chain Staffing Crisis“) states that “Our global supply chains are stressed and under pressure, not only because of material shortfalls and shipping delays, but also due to labor shortages in key sectors. Skills shortages are now seen across all points of the supply-chain continuum, from sourcing to production, logistics, and delivery of goods and services.”
How challenging is it to find and hire qualified people to fill your open supply chain and logistics positions? What do you believe are the primary causes of the labor shortages? What strategies is your organizing using to address this problem?
