I’m in procurement. This isn’t true… we are given requests for purchase at the last possible minute and expected to be miracle workers because of poor planning.

Procurement: An entire department who's linkedin posts are 100% self-validation on how important they are and how complicated their job is.

Why can’t procurement ever figure out how to create a PO????

You forgot to mention that you want to contact numerous suppliers to ask for comprehensive proposals and pricing, knowing full well that you have no intention of using them, just so that you can justify your preferred choice - you want to be able to waste people’s time - professionally 😂

Procurement is the only dept he understands how to actually make anything happen. The rest of yall think it happens on hopes and dreams

Procurement: “Our preferred supplier doesn’t have stock, so it’s going to be 3-4 weeks for this urgent part. Nothing we can do.” Us: “What about X company down the street? They have one in stock.” Procurement: “No, that’s going to cost slightly more. We’re not doing that.” In the meantime… we’re spending tons of money on workarounds, extra maintenance, and random parts trying to hold things together and making everyone’s lives miserable.

Hey now. I'm more like an air traffic controller. I just want to make sure you get the stuff you need AND accounting and finance don't chew me a new one.

OK - well - if you don't want Procurement coming in at the last minute, approach them early.

Without procurement the business will sign us up to multi year deals with no price caps at renewal and unlimited liability if things go wrong and agree to data sharing of personal data for model training for LLMs..

You got it all backwards. Procurement is always brought in too late or asked to do things within days that per standard company policies don’t ever take a few days, rather months

Procurement guy 25 years. We either bought too much, not enough, the wrong thing, or the cost is too high. It’s not for the meek 😁
