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 through training on it yet.

Ain't that the truth! Management has seen to have gone away from that. Upper management knows what's going on. They're dropping like flies or taking new positions. Won't be much longer now folks
I'd feel more job security if someone was still tracking units per hour and sending out monthly goals to focus on, for merchandising. Crickets...
They won't tell you anything. We're staying in DSD. No need to worry
Ours is set for Monday with our regional VP.
It will come in waves
Haven't heard of any phone conference as well. When is this happening?
really nothing for us yet!
We finally have a team conference call planned for next week to discuss the Walmart CAO.
Stop drinking the kool aid nabisco is only stringing u along hit send on your resume that the best advice anyone can give u
Eventually all the territories will be eliminated. Initially they sure won’t need reps in WM. Keebler pulled reps out and left merchandisers in WM to clean up for the month. April is the month Keebler reps were told about the exit from dsd but they did not have to inform employees until 60 days prior, that’s the reason they gave all employees incentive packages to stay till the end, full and PT emoloyees. Mondelez will likely not offer the same incentives. Keebler paid their PT help more and gave them a car allowance. We won’t be told until the last possible minute so people don’t leave in masses. People should believe what they want but need to be realistic, it is coming!
Territories are so big now! Wonder how many territories will be eliminated?
I just do not see it happening. 3 weeks away and no mention from any of my bosses. They would inform us of route changes.
Been told we will see territory changes end of April. DM slipped up, probably the beginning of the end.
Paid nabisco cheerleaders below game over
Nothing is going to happen. Business as usual people!!!
Calm before the storm friends
Must be some kind of delay. Silence on here lately.
It's April 3rd and no announcement of any kind yet even about Walmart CAO that is suppose to start this month. Maybe they changed their minds....lol
That will happen When they leave DSD a d it comes on their truck
Anyone hearing about how Walmart wants everyday delivery? 7 day delivery with no back stock.
It's April! When's the big announcement?
Every vendor that does business with a retailer has a contract. Product does not arrive on shelf by chance. Pay for space a d retailers earn money through co marketing contracts. Very complex contract. We have a dsd contract to do business the way we do, others use the warehouse model and pay slotting fees, etc. Our dsd contracts are ending. Don't misunderstand anything, it has nothing to do with how much money we make as some have stated in here, our customers only care about how much money they make and they can make more without us and be more competitive in the sales environment. Managers are blowing a lot of smoke!
IF
Time to hit send on the resume!
Easter Bunny is here! 🐇
Are u a paid nabisco cheerleader below game over
Nothing is ending. We are going to revolutionize the way DSD works in the future with CAO.
People keep referring to 'Contracts ending"
Which contracts are we referring to? Operations? Like with the drivers/teamsters? Or is there something else I'm unaware of?
"Fake news" person, management has a different agenda than you! They are trying to retain employees until the end of dsd! Yes, that's correct, the end of dsd. When it ends is a little bit of a moving target. If it will end is not! Stores are held to a confidentiality agreement, so their senior management is closed lipped, but those in the stores, we work with, know it is ending! Red flags galore! Wake up!!
Believe what you want! Other's know better. Announcement will be coming in April. DSD will be ending
Agree.....we are not going any where. Our system may change a little bit but we are staying in DSD.
"Fake News" DSD is here to stay. My boss said that we're committed to DSD. New CEO believes in DSD. Nothing to worry about folks. You'll have a long career at Mondelez
Rumor is Kroger merger with Target to compete with China Mart
Wallyworld going CA0 and Krogers going CAO and building a bigger D.C.
hmmmm, could be wally is going to buy Krogie to compete with Amazon.
No sun here! Snow day tomorrow! 💨
I heard tomorrow the sun is coming up..... game over! Hit send on your resume!
Better be hitting send on your resume after reading that article! Definitely changes coming by September folks! Stop buying what upper management is selling! Wake up! Thanks for sharing. I'm thankful for this page opening up my eyes and realizing we're being lied to. We need to stick together and help one another through this.

New strategic plans in September 2018? The end of Q3 will be here before you know it. Might make the announcement in Q2 or early Q3
It will gradually go away. First the walmatians then kroger, then others. Maybe not that exact order but something like that. Routes will be rearranged and gradual layoffs. Keep a few stragglers to fill in the service gap till the bugs are worked out.
Your sales manager is lying to you! Plain and simple! They don't want people to quit cause they need people till the end!! Mondelez will no longer be dsd, fact!
you guys think warehouse will start right when they go CAO or a few months later?
Tell me then, where do the savings come from if they go CAO but everything else stays the same. We can't keep operating in the red. Just doesn't work. Can't come close to our competitors prices. Sale will continue to decline. Am I missing something?
