I thought that DSD was supposed to be dead by September? Did you guys mean September 2030?

Contracts are up in 2020! DSD will end by then. Possibly sooner!
You're DM is a liar! No changes coning soon! We're not exiting this year for sure. I wouldn't be surprised that some kind of announcement will be made after the holidays.
All I can say is be thankful that Trump is in office. If we all get laid off you'll have a much better opportunity to land a good paying job.
Changes coming soon! My DM said
We're not going anywhere! Stop the fake news
Yep!! Servu is ready to take over at Meijer. DSD will be done sooner than later
Retailers are all pushing to reduce inventory! Meijer 10million dollars in 2019, Kroger preaching the same thing. Changes are on the horizon
Umm. Who is cheerleading?
The nabisco cheerleader on here must of worked at fake news cnn at some point all fake news by the nabisco cheerleader on here dsd is dead
Yes the RDC' s would support the customer warehouses. However, the rdc' s are full to the rim and we use the branches to store inventory.. this inventory would have to go somewhere. I know there would be a decrease in invdntory required to support a warehouse model but dont know how much of a reduction..
If our RDC's currently support our DSD wouldn't they also support distribution to warehouses? It's the same volume and everyone uses the just in time model. No one carries a lot of extra's on their book's.
It has indeed begun in our region. Secured additional warehouse space.
Food for thought. In order to exit Dsd we would need to increase storage at the RDC's. To the best of my knowledge that work isnt being done. Not saying it wont be done but it certainly wont happen overnight.
Retailers control our business, you need to get your head out of the sand! We are dsd ONLY because retailers have signed up for that! That part will soon end! Retailers no longer want to pay for dsd services, they already have trucks to deliver, clerks to stock, and are working on CAO to order. If you don’t get this your clueless! Every red flag out there points to this direction! Retailers simply cannot afford to pay for dsd and complete in the every growing more competitive market of retail which now revolves more and more around e commerce. Whether it’s today or tomorrow, seems like every projected date the nay sayers jump in and say, “see, told you it’s not ending, we’re here to stay”. Wrong!!! Just wait and see! Meanwhile open your eyes to all that is going on. May not be happening in your market, but it happening, and happening fast!! Dsd is ending!
Retailers control our business??? We control our business!! We sell, deliver and still merchandise!! You need to stop the fake news on here!!
Nabisco cheerleader retailers now control your business dsd is dead mo--n open your eyes stop being the fake propaganda piece for nabisco I guess reality isn’t an option for you all u know is how to cheerlead for nabisco
Haha!! The Elves skipped right over 2019😂! You people don't know nothing on here! Bunch of made up Fake News!! DSD isn't going anywhere!! All you come back with is cheerleader!!! No facts!!
April 2018....no June 2018.....Definitely Sept 7th announce after strategic review.....lol....what a joke. We will be here much longer then you elves think. your next guess is 2020 that is quite the jump from this year and skipping right over 2019. Keep guessing.
The nabisco cheerleader below holding the company line tell the end kinda like the captain in the wheel house of the titantic and we all know how that ended
You're the fake news!! DSD isn't going anywhere!! Where's the announcement?? Crickets!!!!!
The nabisco cheerleader below is back at it again spreading more fake news to co workers
"Fake News!" No layoffs! DSD is staying! We make too much money to exit from DSD. We're not Keebler! All they sell are Cheeze it's! We have power brands plus Tate's to add to our DSD lineup! Future looks bright to me!
Yep! They still have reps! We will have a similar structure as the elves do! It's coming. As for the cars, you won't be keeping yours. They are on a lease plan and will be auctioned off! They'll keep the newer cars for the few reps that get to stay.
2020 the new date?
2020 is not in a few years. Check your calendar, just over a year.
New cars? You didn't think they were going to eliminate every rep did you? Does the competition have any reps left?
People are somewhat off on the date of dsd exit, spot on though with fact dsd is indeed ending! Watch and see!
Another false prediction by the "Fake News group"! When the next false prediction going to be??
Lease plan is up. That's why they're getting new cars. Means nothing. DSD is dead! Believe what you want cheerleader!
We will still be here in 2019 September and you guys will be saying next year or next month. It's so close to ending......lol......Nothing was even mentioned about DSD in his strategic review....its normal business as usual. We are still hiring full timers. 3 reps on my team just got new cars last week. They would not keep investing so much if we were exiting soon. Maybe in a few years as some think 2020.
September is not over yet!! Exiting DSD is a moving target. No one knows for sure when. No doubt it will be ending soon. Lot's of incentives being thrown out there lately with more to come
Yes that's true. The economy is growing again. At least the job market is good. Get what you can get from Mondelez and move on.
Good, I hope so! This place is a dump to work for anymore! I’m just waiting for whatever severance they may come up with and so ready to move on!!
Wednesday yammer online conference and Friday shareholders conference. There will be layoffs! Your regional HR manager will be having mandatory conference calls. Good luck folks!
This has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with greed. Companies do not care about their employees anymore. The people entering the work force now will not have the same jobs for 20 -30 years as the baby boomers did. I feel sorry for my children and grandchildren. It is no fun having a job with no security.
Donald Trump is your President
Just put your head back in the sand, someone can tap you when it’s over. People’s guesses on the timeline may be a little off this far, but that doesn’t negate the fact that dsd is indeed ending. 2030, you can bet we will be long gone. If I had to predict I’d say by 2019. Anyone’s guess but all this retail transition isn’t happening for no reason. Wise up a bit!
More like 2020. Guess we'll see what Dirk's strategy is this week
