Here We Go Again

Here we go again. Another big storm rolling through the Northeast.

Roads closing. Warehouses shutting down for safety. Carriers suspending pickups. State of Emergency announced.

And still - the asks come in. “Can we get this out today?” “This meeting is critical.” “This event can’t be delayed.”

I understand the urgency. But when warehouses close for safety - when teams can’t safely get to work - when trucks aren’t moving - when inventory is not positioned at other facilities - there is nothing to fulfill. Supply chain doesn’t override weather. It responds to it.

In moments like this, leadership means protect the people first and then communicate clearly and early.

The storm will pass. The meeting can be rescheduled. The event can adjust. But the safety of the team isn’t negotiable.

Here we go again. And just like every time before - we’ll plan, adapt, and move as soon as it’s safe to do so.
