    Eh in some industries like food it’s kinda an inevitability. No matter the planning. Office work tho? Yeah

      Some office work too though. If you want to actually win the contracts, you gotta go fast. Granted, it’s not fast all the time, and we can plan when those contracta sprints are coming, to an extent, but I would definitely describe my office job as fast paced.

      Not to mention when the customer changes the statement of work you’re bidding on…

      Totally agree.

      Food service is making the best of a bad situation.

      Plan everything right then truck shows late/ prep calls off/etc. Too many moving parts. Not even accounting for customer taste.

      Transitioned to office work that is technically classified as “fast pace” and worst day of poor planning doesn’t enter top 10 worst days when working food.
