It s—s knowing layoffs are a certainty but not knowing when it'll happen. It's like Mondelez is intentionally trying to increase our stress levels in hopes we'll leave on our own. To be honest, this might be working on me - I've been so stressed... — read more
Friday, August 16th Town Hall - Core Customer and Retail Sales
As mentioned above in the title, we have been scheduled for a last minute town hall in a few days that is titled ‘Core Customer and Retail Sales’...... very concerning if you ask me.
Words out
Words out to all the other vendors and stores about our Wm situation. I’m asked several times a day as of this week what’s going on with our company.. my response is why what have you heard you got some info for me that I don’t have ?? Wouldn’t be... — read more

Fml
Man this $h!t is depressing. I know it’s coming and I need to be planning for it but I’m already struggling to barley make ends meet on this income HOWEVER this “certain skill” is very limited. Can’t really go many other places that will pay me half... — read more
Top tip offs to DSD being phased out (or not)
First let's list the facts, then let's see if any of us can cite a reason other than DSD ending for each fact. (Anyone feel free to add to my list) Wal Mart and Kroger now have locked EDI orders. Shelf facings are down after latest big... — read more
Update me
Ok my DM isn’t talking. It’s about time I start hearing something about what’s going on ??? Anyone heard anything about Walmart’s ? I’m assuming they’ll never open back up for ordering. How long does the switch to their warehouses usually take? Any... — read more
Are locked EDI orders at Wal Mart truly the beginning of the end?
I've been feeling uneasy for some time now, but it's always been in the back of my mind and many times I could just write my thoughts off as a bit of over thinking. I feel like this EDI/Wal Mart change is a big deal. What do you all think? Will we... — read more

WM ALERT WM ALERT
We’re hiring a Walmart international director and a Walmart retail lead. The position is posted in Arkansas.
Walmart
How are your Walmart’s doing? I just want serious feedback please. No need for comments like dsd is dead or cash cow. How are your features and out of stocks? Do you know any remedies to share? My DM says we can’t add on a separate order. We’re just... — read more
Hold the Oreos hostage
Dirk should challenge Walmart. If they keep us locked out then he should stop all deliveries and deny product until it opens back up. You can’t end us in dsd if our ceo puts his foot DOWN. Walmart will not let NABISCO leave their stores entirely... — read more
Bye bye sales reps
Why do you think we have trained our order writers to do the exact same jobs we all do but pay them a lot less? Because Mondelez plan is to eventually weed out sales reps, merchandisers, everyone and keep a few order writers to become territory... — read more
Is any one able to add product at WM ?
Are you able to adjust on hands or add product for displays through management this week @ WM?
Sending people to Jyve
Well, spoke to a KeHe rep today. The reps too now are being over sourced to Jyve. What does that mean? This is what this means.. severance doesn't have to be given now.. if you are offered another job, no matter how much of a pay cut , you don't take... — read more
Walmart Conference Call
DM just scheduled one for tomorrow, who has the inside scoop so I can already be disappointed. Or is it going to be sell 10 pallets of product to hit the objective?
Hows everyone doin out there?
Upper management is quiet. Very quiet.
On hands will be the smoking gun
One of my WM managers told me today stores have been reporting crazy shrink in department 95 since our mayhem started. Some skus off by triple digit quantities. Whether it's warehouse mispicks getting ASN'd, PRDs being recieved incorrectly, or... — read more
Don’t do it
Don’t ask store managers to order for your features. I’m telling you what you’re doing is handing over to much power. The quicker they all start doing this the quicker we’re all GONE!
The world is coming to an end!!!!
You all sound like chicken little, oh my god! Its over! We all are gonna lose our jobs! Any day now! Its all a conspiracy! I been telling you this for years! Dont let your job define you, deal with it when and if it comes.... you now can reply.... oh... — read more

Only speculation????
Some people will be “standing in the unemployment line”, saying it’s only speculation!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Folks, game over!! If you haven’t been at Mondelez long, find a new job! Won’t be worth it!! Take responsibility, ignorance is no excuse and won’t pay... — read more
CAO process
I’m still not understanding the process of remedy tickets. CAO isn’t ordering for my features. Am I suppose to open a remedy ticket for those and ask for multiple cases each week? Or are we all just going to lose our features ? Someone please... — read more
I made 48k last year packing out cookies as a FTOW why wouldn't I stay till the bitter end
Can someone tell me a good reason to start looking now vs just waiting till the sweet release of no more DSD and unemployment is burned through
??
Any of your co workers quitting yet??
Will CAO orders stay locked ?
Im getting mixed answers and they are only speculation
Call Dirk out
Why don't one of you folks affected by DSD call Dirk out on next weeks Townhall?
End of an era
At all my WMs all I’ve ever heard the past few months is customers comparing about how the stores are always sold out of everything. And they are but one thing that was always well stocked and nice were the Nabisco products!!! Now my products look... — read more
WM
My Walmart’s look TERRIBLE! OOS on tons of items with stupid Sh-t in back my features are all BUSTED! CAO Keeps bringing in tiny orders. What can you do? I give up caring
CRICKETS
Why so quiet ??
Who goes first?
I’m the newest SR on my team only been in this role for 1 1/2. I’ll probably be the first to go. Thought this was going to be a career for me. Now I have to start over
Take notice
Open positions for FTOWs are now positions for FT Merchandisers they will no longer be writing orders. We still need the muscle and support of a full timer to work deliveries the final months but will not need their support writing orders since we’re... — read more
Your DM lies
Your DM is lying to you saying this is temporary and only 2 weeks? That’s so you won’t all quit. Meanwhile my DM forwards us every email. They say nothing about it being a temporary thing. It’s very much permanent he’s open with us and talks to us on... — read more
