Setup
Everyone will be replaced. We're set-up just like Keebler. Stop believing what upper management is telling you. DSD is ending soon. Get out before your kicked to the curb. Start looking. Find what you want and don't settle.
I think most Sales reps will be replaced with cheaper fulltime order writers
I Think most Sales reps will be replaced with cheaper fulltime order writers and DSD will be around for a while Full time order writers can do about the same level of work as a sales rep for about probably 1/2 - 1/3 of the cost Full time order... — read more
There are no guarantees
A tell tale sign management is lying, is they are offering guarantees of our commitment to dsd. Who would do that? There are no guarantees in life, let alone the retail environment we currently live in! One that is evolving at a warp speed! It’s easy... — read more
July 9th DSD Announcement
Reliable source has told me that a announcement on DSD will be made on July 9th. DSD will seize to exist by September 8th.

It don’t seem like the same job it once used to be. Changes are coming! Nabisco used to be a good place to work for and now it’s rough. This new CAO is crazy... they won’t you to upsell what Walmart don’t work. Walmart goal is to have 0 backstock... — read more
End of 2017, April ‘18, now Sept ‘18?
First many in here said DSD would be done at the end of 2017, then April 2018, now it’s September 2018? When September comes and goes, and DSD is still happening, what’s the next date? Inquiring minds want to know!
Facts
Without giving out too much information I want to let you all know some facts. Our branch is about to embark on a major expansion that is going to be very costly that will take a year to complete to better help in DSD delivery. There’s also new... — read more
Automation in the retail industry
All the other layoffs will pail in comparison with what will happen once automation is fully implemented in stores. It is expected it will leave 2.5 million American workers without a job per year! A bunch of that will be Walmart, higher-ups have... — read more
DSD is an expensive relic from the past
DSD is the reason we don't make money in N.A. It's an expensive relic from the past. Unless your all willing to take a substantial pay cut. Think of it as you would think of coal for a primary energy source. I looked at the numbers, sales down... — read more
DSD coming to an end within the next few months
It's a shame that this company isn't being honest! Store's are telling me that they're taking over ordering and merchandising within the next few month's. I'm not a troll either. I'm just someone that wanted to pass on the information that was given... — read more
Town Hall conference call Monday May 14th
Hosted by Glenn Walter. Think we'll get any news about DSD or more smoke and mirrors?
April?
I’m wondering where all the trolls that said DSD was going to be over in April are at? Or did you mean April 2030?

Unified
2 of my stores. Are now ordering my product from unified yay!
we are exiting dsd
Anyone with even half a brain has to see what’s coming. Those that continue with the “we are too big”, and “my boss said”, are simply just not wanting to believe the inevitable. An exit from dsd has been in the works for some time, not just by... — read more
Changes are coming!
No doubt something has to change. New CEO in place to shake things up, earnings are down even after all the personnel downsizing. All indicators point to an exit from dsd. About to end a strategic review. The “were too big” theory is laughable. We... — read more
We are tanking
Seriously, our stock is at the lowest it has been in the last 52 week. But instead of fixing so many things that are obviously broken, I'm betting you the management's response will be to have more layoffs. Because layoffs have proven to fix... — read more
Nobody wants to buy us
DSD “has been”, a thing of the past. In the end, it is ultimately up to the retailer to decide since the cost of dsd is built into their contracts, it’s certainly not free. Since most consumers get to choose what they buy, the retailers (wal Mart and... — read more
Kellogg stock
Stock has dropped 17 dollars since keebler went away from dsd,it’s not working folks. As long as dsd if profitable, nabisco will stick to dsd. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Here come the haters saying I’m wrong, lol.
MONDELEZ is an AGE DISCRIMINATION MONSTER
Mondelez practices classic age discrimination, getting rid of older workers and replacing them with younger, inexperienced and much lower paid ones. It is possible to survive at this company in your 40’s, but once you hit 50 your days are numbered... — read more
"Fake News!!!"
This site is full of "Fake News" We're not going anywhere anytime soon! DSD is here to stay! Numbers are through the roof since Keebler exited DSD. We have a monopoly on snacks now! No way they'll pull the plug on us! Shame on the "Fake News" on... — read more

Anyone else seeing major cuts on orders ? Something major is about to happen... had 35-50 cases cut from a order.
Two plants closing
So, I know the two plants we are closing are in Brazil, but anybody else feels really uneasy about this? They are moving them to even cheaper parts of the country. So what does that tell you about the future of us here? Maybe I'm reading too much... — read more

New Walmart bin system
Walmart grocery Mgr just informed me of their new binning system for CAO. We bin our product just like any of their stuff and it will be scanned before it leaves to be stocked on the shelf. Store has received DSD specific handhelds but have not gone... — read more
Any info on plant closings?
Some nasty rumors out there. Anyone hear anything solid?
Just one more reason...as it we need it!
Anyone know that Kroger charges vendors a "bin fee"? Kind of a rental fee for putting product in their warehouse. So the $60M distribution plant they just completed we helped pay for! Any vendor that wants in Kroger pays to warehouse their stuff... — read more
BIG RESETS
Wow! Look at all the space at all the stores! Keebler only has cheez its, club is doing nothing. Nabisco has stuff in all stores and 70 percent of the aisle. Yeah, I’m sure stores have time to put up nabisco product.
Management will always lie
Who cares what Mondelez is "committed" to, management can, and will, always change their minds! Two years ago they had a regional meeting for us to tell us all the rumors of a possible downsizing were untrue. Three months later they let go of 1/3 of... — read more
All dsd will be gone soon
Amazon plans to charge companies 5% of sales to stock their products. This is the end of dsd, not just Nabisco. www.cnbc.com/2018/03/11/whole-foods-calls-meeting-with-key-vendors-as-tensions-flare.html
Just want to know
This wait and anticipation is becoming worse than the possible result. This has turned into a cruel and unusual punishment - for what, I don't know. What good does this prolonged wait do for anybody? If I'm going to be laid off, just let me know... — read more
