2023 Employee of the Year - Congratulations Adriana! Each year we like to recognize exceptional effort from an employee and this year we congratulate Adriana as our 2023 Employee of the Year! While Adriana does not like job titles, we like to call her the “Warehouse Supervisor”. With nearly 20 years of experience at our company, her job duties transcend job titles and are spread across several entities in our family of companies. Adriana is another example of starting on the ground floor, working hard, learning as much as possible, and then growing to use that knowledge at a higher level. At the age of 20, Adriana moved to the US from Mexico and by the age of 23, she started working for Caroba Plastics. She started as a 2nd shift operator and then moved to 1st shift while also teaching herself English. It was quickly observed that Adriana continually outworked everyone while also keeping a keen eye on the details. This made her the perfect person to help launch our first service offerings in assembly and fulfillment. She helped grow these segments of our business from 2 small customers into numerous customers that now operate 24/7. Once the assembly and fulfillment pieces of our business were launched, Adriana was asked to help with a new startup in our family of companies. Adriana was instrumental in overseeing the warehouse activities for our sister company Pozzetta Specialty Supplies (PSS) while still helping with Caroba activities as needed. Last year Adriana was given additional duties and now oversees all the warehousing operations for Caroba and PSS.  As previously mentioned, Adriana does not like job titles and this is because you have never seen a person more willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Adriana leads by example, and it is well known that no one can keep up with her. Whether it is moving boxes, stacking pallets, inventory counts, forklifting, quality control…you name it, she has her sleeves rolled up and is completing the tasks side by side with her team. Although the majority of the square footage in our building is under her supervision, you will never hear a complaint. She provides solutions and hard work to get through just about every situation. When asked what she likes about her job, there were 3 things that came to mind. First is the feeling of “Family” throughout the building and how everyone helps each other to accomplish goals. Second, she loves that she can bring new ideas to management, and they always listen. And third, she really enjoys working with our office personnel…and we agree, they are all pretty awesome! Congratulations Adriana! #people #team #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #manufacturing #manufacturingindustry #quality #medicalmanufacturing #semiconductorindustry #madeinusa #coloradobusiness

While some Folks are hitting snooze for the third time, our AM morning shift Ops Pros and Warehouse Warriors are already knee-deep in the day's chaos Ops & Warehouse at 4 AM: - Dodging forklifts like it's an Olympic sport - Problem solving overnight mysteries Sherlock Holmes wouldn't touch - Keeping the supply chain intact with nothing but litres of coffee and millilitres of patience ☕💪 Meanwhile, elsewhere (*cough* Sales *cough* Marketing): - Debating whether to get a caramel latte or a frappuccino at 10 AM. 🤔 - Complaining that the office thermostat is set a degree too cold 🥶 - "Working from home" but really just running errands when not on the couch 😂 Is it time we admit that the real MVPs are the ones who start before the sun does? Or should we keep pretending that all departments are "equally challenging"? 😉 Because while some are dreaming of success, others are waking up early to make it happen! #Logistics #Trucking #SupplyChain #Transport #Freight #InterstateTransport #RoadFreight #TransportServices #Linehaul #Procurement #3PL #Warehousing #Warehouse #FreightForwarder #FreightForwarding #TruckingNews #cargo #Import #Export #OceanFreight #SeaFreight #AirFreight #Australia

Since 2020, The Somewhere Co. has been elevating lunch breaks and bougie picnics alike. Their Brisbane warehouse hires casual warehousing staff such as pick packers and forklift drivers to help with peak periods, often on a last minute basis for an unknown period of time. Training a whole new team for a few weeks of work is not the best way of using resources, and last minute ad hoc hiring has presented its own set of challenges. Sidekicker has provided The Somewhere Co. with the flexibility to build their own workforce of skilled and reliable staff, to successfully manage staffing during peak periods. “Sidekicker was integral in expanding our team on short notice in the instance of an unexpected container arrival, as well as sourcing replacements for sickness.” Tara Brady, the Warehouse Lead at the Somewhere Co.

This week I’ve been thinking and having a few conversations about whether I was right to look for role away from the 3PL setting that I used to in exchange for a hard hat and hivis from head to ankle. Before redundancy rendered me unemployed, I was good manager. My last role I started as a Warehouse Manager, and on day one I was faced with a horrible incident involving multiple employees, including Supervisors. I became Logistics Operations Manager, was 1 month from my Operator CPC course (my choice to help me support my Tansport Manager more). The last few months, since I’ve felt the ‘squeeze’ financially, I’ve thought a lot about whether I should have gone to another 3PL provider or to construction logistics. Had I not have gone to construction, I’d not have had either of the two accidents that put me down. But, had I not gone to construction I wouldn’t have discovered I had a squatter inside my femur. I loved every minute of my time in logistics. I was good at it, and according a few people ‘great to work for.’ I tried to be fair. No doubt more than a few people think the opposite to that. 9 people just off the top of my head. 8 of those went out in the first few months of my last few 3PL job. The last 1 was a kid who couldn’t follow instructions that were in place for peoples safety (not using stabilisers when booming out to full stick, booming over a pedestrian walkway when it’s open, but most importantly disobeying a ‘stop’ instruction and nearly running his boss (me) over. A video a few weeks later proved I was right to get rid. Whether you’re a Manager (Logistics, Warehouse, Transport, etc.) or a Forklift Operator, or Warehouse or Logistics Operative you matter. I worked my way up from Forklift Op at 18, to Team Leader, Supervisor, Assessor, Manager, Operations Manager. But none of that matters now I’m operating a wheelchair, apparently being on wheels means my skills and experiences acquired over decades don’t matter. Every day was a school day. Having to lose 8 members of my last 3PL Warehouse because they were bullies, 1 of whom who went too far even for some of the group. Getting rid of him before lunch on day 1 didn’t make it easy for, they’d been empowered by their previous manager who told their victim it was “just banter.” After taking care of the bullies, and empowering their victim enough that she became one of the best Team Leaders I ever had work for me, I took that warehouse and together we smashed the KPI’s and built a great atmosphere. As OM I led us to gain a massive contract extension with 60-70% pallet uplift. I project managed an extension & loading Dock refurb, used the uplift & extension to make the case for new MHE and WMS. All the construction and refurb works, the equipment & WMS, and everyone trained, all on time and under budget, and got my team a pay rise. I can’t walk anymore, but I can lead and my experiences should matter. If you want a Warehosue or Ops Manager, drop me a message, let’s talk.
