\u2026A decent number of comments have popped up on yesterday\u2019s post about the reactions I got to the article \u201cPurchasing, Social Responsibility, & Animals.\u201d This is obviously a \u201chot button topic,\u201d so let\u2019s keep the discussion going to see what views will impact the purchasing profession going forward.<\/p>\n

\u2026I found it interesting that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette yesterday published an article citing that the Director of Corporate Sourcing at Mellon Financial has been dismissed as a result of the merger with Bank of New York. It\u2019s sad news for purchasing in Pittsburgh, but almost good news in that a purchasing executive made the front page of the business section. You always hear about the departure of CEO\u2019s and CFO\u2019s in mergers, so it is almost like purchasing executives\u2019 departures are not newsworthy. I guess that this means that the Talent Crunch is now just a little bit lighter with one more person available for the many open strategic purchasing jobs.<\/p>\n
\u2026After last week\u2019s post \u201cWho The H*ck Is Tony Poshek?\u201d I was fortunate enough to have Tony introduce himself by email. It turns out that he was a short-time resident here in Pittsburgh. He has generously offered to tip me off to some of the more quirky purchasing-related stories that he comes across, so don\u2019t be surprised if you see one more blogger giving \u201chat tips to Tony Poshek.\u201d<\/p>\n
