Strike two!! ? ?? Today will mark the third business day since the #ILA #strike commenced on the East Coast of the USA. Speculation is inevitably surging within #supplychain communities as disruptions continue to stack, pertaining to a range of questions but predominantly these two: 1. How long will the stoppage last? 2. What will the accumulated effect on traffic be when operations eventually resume? To only be two days in, I am really feeling the tension start to bubble. Shippers have a different sentiment on the phones as their cost and congestion issues have been compounded by the extreme weather. Also, while the west coast inevitably sees an influx of volume from the east coast stoppage, shippers have seen their problems follow them to these terminals, some in the way of a container explosion that resulted in a 24 hour shutdown of one of LA/Long Beach ports' busiest commercial bridges. https://lnkd.in/ekyZ9U_N For companies with imported goods that are being rerouted to unfamiliar terminals, what is your strategy for selecting your broker partners for these rerouted shipments? Are you versed in the nuances and casual differences between port drayage and rail drayage? These details may seem subtle, but can cause fluctuations of freight spend that are terrifying at scale for volume shippers. How many of your containers did not make it back to port before stoppage, and how long will the per diem clock run? Are you being kept informed on your steamship's specific policies that will effect accessorial charges accrued on your ocean freight? For companies with exported goods that have historically been routed exclusively to East Coast ports, how are you managing inventory flow with the stoppage of shipments? How long can you pause inventory flow on your customers, if so at all? What steamship lines offer service from what specific inland rail ramps? Where is the "cost/risk" line your must draw of increasing spend to reroute freight vs. not meeting order fulfillment? Additionally, when selecting a new broker partner to guide you in this unfamiliar territory, what is the increased risk of selecting a sub par vendor? A true broker partner should be an extension of their customers supply chain and logistics departments. In times of need acting fast for their partners to deliver tailored solutions. In times of no need, remaining idly by as a consultant. Lastly, in times of crisis and desperate need, stepping in as the hero when the shi* hits the fan. Call me if that sounds like what you need.

Amy Dickinson has some great advice for all of us.... "Boxer Mike Tyson famously said, ‘Everybody has a plan, until they get punched …’ Punches are inevitable. But I do believe I’ve learned some universal truths that might soften the blows. They are: Show up for people. Be gentle with yourself — and with others. Lead with kindness, and recognize kindness when you receive it. Reserve your harshest judgment. Sit on your worst thoughts about other people and consider the consequences before expressing them. Be of service by finding something, or someone, to take care of. Find creative ways to express your feelings. Admit to your faults and failings, and resolve to do better. Ask for forgiveness. Work hard not to be defined by the worst things that have happened to you. Recognize even the smallest blessings and express gratitude. Be kind to receptionists, restaurant servers, dental hygienists, and anyone who needs to physically touch or serve you to do their job. Understand that there are times when it is necessary to give up. Spend time in nature. Identify, develop, or explore your core ethical and/or spiritual beliefs. Recognize and detach from your own need to control someone else. Respect boundaries — yours and others’. Seek the counsel of people who are wiser than you are. Ask their advice, and listen."

Otherwise, "good people" can find themselves stuck in bad systems. Social psychology teaches us that under "stress," "coercion," the influence of "perverse incentives," and various other factors, a kind of normalization of deviance, Stockholm syndrome, or "motivated reasoning" can warp people. UnitedHealthcare’s operations exemplify how bureaucratic isolation allows harm to persist while insulating workers from accountability. Employees are siloed into specialized roles, such as claims processing, prior authorizations, or provider negotiations, which focus narrowly on discrete tasks. This compartmentalization prevents workers from seeing how their actions contribute to broader outcomes, such as delays in patient care, denied treatments, or provider dissatisfaction. Policies framed as routine compliance normalize harmful practices, while strict adherence to cost-cutting protocols emphasizes profitability over patient well-being. The fragmentation of roles and information ensures that workers rarely witness the cumulative effects of their decisions, diffusing accountability and minimizing ethical reflection. This structure leads to real-world consequences like worsened patient health outcomes, administrative burdens for providers, and systemic prioritization of profit over care. Employees, often rewarded for meeting performance metrics rather than questioning ethical implications, cannot address or challenge these harms effectively. To mitigate these issues, UnitedHealthcare needs to foster transparency, empower workers to understand their role in the system and shift its focus from procedural compliance to patient-centered care. Such reforms could bridge the disconnect between workers’ actions and the company’s broader impacts, reducing harm and improving outcomes. The media focus on Brian Thompson's manner of death, while necessary, distracts from what other lessons could be learned from his life.

If we built a new healthcare system in the US from scratch, what would it look like? There's enough Agile and other process efficiency expertise on LinkedIn surely together we can get the bear-bones of a plan together which would address some of the many complaints about the current system (noted in the thread attached). Lets lead the country in taking collective accountability for the country's health outcomes and brainstorm together for a better system to rise "like a phoenix from the flames". Some action items, feel free to address in the comments: - Define healthcare in the context of patients receiving treatments, etc related to their health. - Process map of current healthcare system, inclusive of the variety of common and edge-case patients who utilize it, and the roles insurance, patients and doctors play in interacting with or facilitating the process at different stages - End-state goal. What should the system serve to provide in terms of deliverables and quality of life for the end user? What is the optimal outcome for the patient? - Value stream map of current healthcare process - How does a public program such as Medicare impact the current system? - How does employer-sponsored coverage impact the current system? - What would the inclusion of preventative care in general healthcare do to the overall health of the population over time? - Are there other areas of the industry than patient-facing where it could be made more efficient and lead to improved outcomes? - What studies currently exist which may help to determine better practices for a future-state system? - What are some aspects of the systems other countries use which could be explored to improve the current process in the US? - Listen to the Omnia and the Blizzard remix of Phoenix From the Flames and bask in the glory that is Justine Suissa's vocals on this legendary trance track.

The post is very manipulative or narrow minded. As it was pointed in a comment here, this is of course murder. And my post doesn't intend to justify the crime but tries to add explanations to a complex situation. 1. It implies that the murder was committed for no reason at all, everything was just fine. 2. It is possible that the victim was guilty of inhumane company policies and this is why the crime happened. 3. It is possible that the victim didn't make the policies instead they were imposed on him. But then who made them and who should actually be punished for them ? 4. It is possible that the company policies were intented for the common good. But even if this is the case, the post mentions no such thing. I wonder, because they were not ? 5. The post may have been paid for, it is hard to believe that such an ignorant post ( to say the least ) can have such an agreement among real people.

The first thing that popped up on my feed this morning was this heartfelt recognition from Robert Sterling for the recently murdered United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. https://lnkd.in/gRUN9EDN Robert, thanks for the recognition for Brian, by all accounts a fine family man and leader.?I see that there are over 13,000 comments on your post.?I started to read them expecting an outpouring of support for Robert and his loved ones.??There has been some of that; but not even close to the majority of comments fit that mold. No, true condolences represent a scant 10%’ish of the comments. Shocking. Now to be fair, many of these comments do pay lip service to your points about Robert’s life and example.?This lip service immediately precedes swinging hard-about with a “but”, or a “however”, or of course, the ever popular 21st Century wordy business speak of “having said that”. ?Simple conjunctions not being enough these days…we need conjunctive phrases to do the work.?Of course in all these cases, all that matters is what follows. I was stunned at Robert’s cold-blooded killing at the hands of a sociopath who had life served to him on a silver platter.?Wealth, brains, two Ivy League degrees; six months surfing vacation in Hawaii…he obviously had everything.?Everything but direction, empathy and morals. Another stunning success of post-modernism.?Another cliché. ?A Ted Kaczynski wannabe.?“Only I can see what is really happening and of course murder is the only answer. They deserve it.” And what does every wannabe require these days? A manifesto, of course, to reveal their unique wisdom. Wisdom? Nah, just the rantings of a spectrum of personality disorders and ideological extremism. Back to the shocking part now...all this support for a pampered nut case that planned and executed a murder. Planned for weeks or likely months.?Surveil, hide, stalk, shoot him in the back, clear malfunction, shoot him again, clear malfunction, shoot him again… escape, evade…to see this cheered on by thousands on a career site floored me.?The guy didn’t like the system, so his response was murder. Not, maybe I should get a job in the industry and try to change things. Not, maybe I should get politically involved and try to change the laws.?Nah, his sick conclusion was murder is the only logical solution and thousand here cheer it on. ?I cannot imagine what it must be like for this family to know that their husband/father’s murder is forever memorialized on the internet and thousands are cheering it on. The real purpose of this response is to direct this to HR executives. If I were you I’d be saving access to all these sick responses and doing a check before I hired anyone.? Because, I don’t think I’d want a co-worker that thinks there is an acceptable "but" or "however" that can condone “corporatecide”.
