For those of you who are head strong that dsd is here to stay....
How’s that working out for you having to work Tates now? Oh wait, we’re not.
Have you noticed how many box trucks that delivery to smaller accounts are rented? Penske. Company no longer purchasing box trucks, only straight trailers. Hummmm, are we not going to deliver to target anymore?
Haha! DSD is dead!!! Watch!
Stock price is up to 45 dollars!!! And you guys think we're exiting DSD!?!?!?!?!? Hahaha!!! We're killing it out there!! DSD is a major 💸 🐄!! No way were getting laid off!! Keep spreading fake news!! Smarter one's know better!!
Notice is only required by law if a certain number of employees are effected. Closing down one branch, in one part of the country, probably would not qualify for notices. Some companies get away from having to give required notice by letting employees go in waves. Keebler let all (or most) reps and merchandisers go at one time. They had to give notice of 60 days.
When we are let go they are also required by law to share specific information in regards to who was let go. Ages, reason for termination (can’t let one person go for performance and another for tenure). Lots of information by law they are required to share. Hold them accountable.
Check your fact about notice required by law, it’s in writing. 60 days. Keebler told employees way ahead of time and it only didn’t bite them in the rear mire was because they offered big retaining bonuses, money and car to hit numbers. Mondelez will never follow suit! Unethical is exactly right! It’s just amazing they have not been smacked with class action law suits with they way they practice business. They ought to watch their p’s and q’s cause it will likely happen before too long!
Nabisco is a unethical company!! You'll only get as much noticed required by law my friend!! Take the blinders off and wake up!!
They have to? Doubt it. Maybe they'll give the same notice as they did when they shut down our warehouse. None.
Yep! They'll have to give us as much notice as Keebler got! They were told in February 2017 and let go by August 2017. They received about 5 to 6 months notice. We'll be here at least till 2020 at the earliest. Keep guessing while I keep making 💸 and taking them to the 🏦
Everyone has been saying it wont be much longer for 2 years now on here. Such a joke.....We will still be here 2 years from now still doing business as usual. One day we maybe gone but it wont happen this coming year.
Cash cow? Hahahahaha, you are more like a🐵! All so called money is relative! If you think your rich, well than good for you! Since every position has a salary cap, I guess we just have differing views! As far as leaving dsd, get your riches while you can, you won’t be around with Mondelez much longer! When we go warehouse maybe you can get your fortune by throwing cookies and crackers at WalMart? Buy yourself yacht! Hahahahaha
Sounds like "alternative fact"s" to me. All the numbers I've seen over the past several years tell me your wrong.
When's the new date for our exit announcement?? Keep guessing!! I'll keep making big 💰 to stock cookies and crackers!! The company continues to make big 💰 with DSD!!! DSD is a 💸 🐄!!! They make tons of 💸 with DSD! They can't get rid of us. They've trimmed all the fat! We're the filet mignon!! Everyone loves us!! 💘
Nice try there! No elves on here, just realistic Mondelez folks!
We're not going anywhere! Quit listening to the "Fake News" on here!! Mondelez is nothing like Keebler! The elves are just spreading rumors
When is the smoke and mirrors going to end??? I'm tired of this!!! I'm not waiting around for some c-appie severance package!! If I know this company, the packages will be lousy!! Get out while you can!! Game over!!
Are u surprised? Management is pathetic at Mondelez! Once you stop caring you’ll feel way better! Management doesn’t care, why should we?
I'm sorry your DM is lying too you. It's just a down right tragedy the way Nabisco is going about this. Kelloggs let their employees know almost 6 months before they were let go. Nabisco is and won't be so nice. Better find something else. Theirs no future at Nabisco
Your boss is reading a script, “WE are committed to dsd”. WE are not ending DSD, retailers are. WE have been planning an exit from DSD for years, it would not occur overnight.
Ask your “honest” boss if Kroger is rolling out CAO in 2019 and see his reaction. This is indeed a fact. Retailers are pulling the plug on CAO. When it happens your boss can say,”WE were committed, retailers were not” and remain honest sounding. He knows more than he’s eluding to and your just naive enough, and unwilling to want to know the truth, to believe him. Think again!! You will be losing your job soon!
The nabisco cheerleader is back at it again below reality isn’t an option for the nabisco cheerleader on here more fake news from the nabisco cheerleader on here
Good lord! You DM is committed to his job, that’s all! Wrong! Kroger is CAO, we are testing it now, they had it in one division and now rolled out to cincy Dayton. Will go live in all Kroger in 2019. Wake up and smell the coffee!!!
DSD isn't going away! Only Walmart is CAO. We're committed to DSD my DM said so. He wouldn't lie. He's an honest man
How about from the DC’s to the retailers warehouse and secondary suppliers? That won’t be third party. The DC’s will be a staging area for product to be placed and from there it will go to warehouses. SuperValu and other third party suppliers will receive product from DC’s as well. Product won’t go from the factories to the retailers warehouses. There will be a lot more PRD’s to support in store promotions. Thus the need for more space at the DC’s.
They would get from the factories to the Dc's the same way they do today. 3rd party carriers.
Our product still needs to get to the DC from factories. If we were not leaving dsd they would still have box trucks, now we rent them!
Why would we be investing in any trucks if we are going warehouse? 3rd party carriers deliver from the RDC's to the customer warehouses.
We are leaving dsd! We will delivery to retailers warehouses and the will deliver to individual stores. That’s why we are only investing in straight trucks and leasing box trucks. Make sense? It’s noy my scenario, it’s how warehouse works.
Would the driver's still be delivering to the actual grocery stores or the store's warehouses in your scerino?
Up to you to choose your friends, not me! Just stating some facts. That’s why drivers singed a new contract, drivers will still be needed, just less of them. Distribution centers, or DC’s as they are called, will be staging areas for product to be shoppped from factories. WC was never designed for DSD, things just didn’t pan out as far as us being acquired. We had hoped to jump to warehouse before retailers pulled the plug, but that isn’t the case anymore.
DSD will end soon now with both Kroger and WM CAO. Leased cars reps are getting are just that, leased. Still be a handful of reps around to put out fires during the transition. Talk about micro managing, no thanks! Good luck people! Stay one step ahead!
Well maybe I won't be friends with him/her anymore...
For anyone who currently pulls from WC, they know this move is not in support of dsd or any type of investment in dsd!! WC is a disaster and has been! This will be a Distrbution center. Kroger just built a warehouse in Hebron KY, just down 75. Since we will pay slotting fees at retailers warehouses they will utilize DC to house inventory. Any other interpretation is managements attempt at a smoke screen. Sorry pal, you are being played by your friend. Won’t be too much longer now!
Who knows what's Mondelez is doing!!! All i know is this place is a terrible place to work at!! It's definitely time to move on! I'm done waiting for a severance package!
3rd party independents will run out of them. Giant Eagle. IGA, etc. etc
Why would we need staging warehouses? Just ship direct from the RDCs to the customers warehouse. Thats what we did in Canada when DSD closed.
Probably a few new warehouses for staging products to grocery warehouses. Our warehouses won't close when we exit DSD. They'll still need a staging area. That's all it probably is. WC bought the building next too them. They're getting ready for the transition
I just love these people. I dont claim to have all the answers nor do I claim to know the truth. I was told a few new DSD warehouses were being built ( Leased) which would show at least a 3 to 5 year committment.
If im full of sh-- then you are equally full because you know as much as I..
I’m just curious if you can share what your close friend views as, “investments in DSD”. I don’t see any but am curious what these my be? Assume if you don’t have any than your simply FOS, full of ....!
Who cares, what’s it all for
The person you trust must have been given the wrong information. All signs point to a DSD exit very soon! Grocery industry is changing rapidly. DSD is a dinosaur! Store's want the revenue back in their pockets. We've been in our exit strategy for 5 years now. DSD will soon be ending for us.
You may be right. Only repeating what i was told by someone I trust who is very close to the DSD business and its strategy. If you knew me you would not call me a Nabisco Cheerleader. Far from it
Investments in DSD?!?!?!?!?!
That's a good one cheerleader!!
You are about to be in for a rude awakening!!!
DSD is ending soon!! Believe what you want!! 3 to 5 months we will be gone!!
Funny, cause I too have spoken to people very close to the dsd business and they say we’re done! Dsd ending. Since all I see are investments made that would show an end to dsd, I’d be curious if you can share what investments your source is referring to? Consolidating branches, CAO, eliminating deployment specialists, focus on only replacing straight trucks and phasing out box trucks, etc all to me point to dsd exit. Am I missing something?
I spoke to someone close to the DSD business today who said investments are being made in DSD .. Cant see it going anywhere for at least 3 to 5 years .. just sayin. Aint no cheerleader.
