I work in the health care industry, my job is in purchasing buying the supplies needed to run the medical facility. Everything from medical supplies to medical equipment to housekeeping supplies. In the almost 20 years I've been doing this job, it's never been so difficult to get the supplies needed for our staff to do their daily jobs.
I used to be able to place orders for anything, and it would arrive in a day or two. Now it seems everything, even items you wouldn't expect are in limited supply or on back order for several weeks to several months.
Every day is a challenge. I really like where I work and what I do, but the last several months have been exhausting. Something as simple as a few cases of exam gloves being delivered is a small victory.
