Thread regarding Mondelez International Inc. layoffs

$22hr to stock shelfs is nothing to laugh at

No responsibility except putting sh-- on shevles where else could I do that that's why I wont hit send until the very end

The nabisco cheerleader below can learn to hit send now or later your choice either way you will be hitting send more fake news from the nabisco cheerleader below maybe start and hit send at cnn you would fit in over their

😆 that's y'all comeback Nabisco cheerleader!! You are the Fake News!! I've been hearing this nonsense for 2 year's on this fake news page. DSD isn't going away. We're not Kelloggs. We have power brands. All they had are Cheeze it's. We outsell our competition!! You trolls need to get a life!!

The DSD cheerleader makes TONS of money stocking shelves !!! HAHA. You must not know what a good paying job is !!!

When will the nabisco cheerleader below learn dsd is dead more fake news from the paid nabisco cheerleader below

Why is Nabisco coming out with this new waste plan then? If we exit DSD the store's are responsible for the rotation and waste. I think y'all are believing too many rumors out there. Nabisco is moving into the next generation of DSD with retailers. Their may be some layoffs but a complete DSD exit will never happen. We refused to pay the slotting fees. We also are getting a whole new line of fleet to service our DSD accounts even better. Keep guessing while I make a tons of 💰 stocking cookies and crackers!

Thanks for sharing that! Retailers are well aware of what’s going on! One of my Kroger store managers told me just today, “of course dsd is going to end”. She was simply sharing her opinion but it is sooooo obvious! You are also spot on, retail will look nothing like it does today in just a short period of time, it will undergo a major transformation. We are just at the very beginning! Dsd is simply outdated. Mondelez hides behind the “we are committed to dsd” so than when dsd ends they can hide behind the fact that the retailers opted out. Don’t be fooled, Mondelez management is very well aware of the fact that dsd is ending! They have been planning this exit for years now! Just trying to hold onto employees to get them through till the end. If history tells anything, Mondelez will pay out the bare minimum for severances as far as the cars, they can keep them! Junk!

I was with Keebler for 24 years went through the exit of DSD, I made out with a car / 24 weeks of pay. Im currently with Mondelez and I can honestly say all the signs point to an exit here too. I hope Mondelez takes care of their employees like Keebler did.

Do we know when DSD will end? No, but I would be surprised if its not within a year two at the most.

It simply comes down to cost for Mondelez and margin for stores.

I've already found another job and put in my two weeks today. The grocery industry has changed and is changing drastically.

Wish everyone the best of luck.

Only the nabisco cheerleader on here fails to see reality don’t listen to the fake news nabisco cheerleader on here

Wow! Whomever posted about how will this save money, and then states “were not going anywhere”, “just because Keebler left doesn’t mean we all are” maybe shows the true lack of intelligence of those who cannot see reality!

Have you noticed how WM and Kroger both have dropped prices on items all over their stores? Thousands of items! That’s profit they are losing! Cutting margins. Where do you think they will make that back up? See, retailers are trying to make a profit, hard to do when you lower prices to stay competitive!

Our salaries, health care, cars, PTO, etc all cost money. While Mondelez foots the bill, they pass some of that along to retailers in higher price of goods. You do realize when Keebler left dsd their prices went down as well. BTW, have you seen the pallet upon pallet of cheezit for the HDO sale next weekend at Kroger? See, they can manage just fine!

Hope that answers your question and you see how rediculous your statements are! So do yourself a favor and educate yourself, you will be better for it. Reality will hit hard for those non believers!

How will they save? Really?? Their employees make less! They pay a premium for dsd, product is marked up.

How would they not save? If you eliminate dsd, that cuts the thousand of Mondelez employees salary, vacations, health care costs, fuel costs, etc.. Mondelez can then lower their prices on product (as did Keebler) to allow retailers to lower their prices, to make them more competitive. BTW, Amazon does not hand these built in costs! No we’re not Keebler but we compete with them. Their cookie line is for sale to focus on their salty snacks line where the growth is!

Retailers also pay a hefty slowing fee for any manufacturer who put product in their warehouses and when we go warehouse it’s gotta go in there.

If you don’t see the savings you really just unfortunately don’t understand things which is unfortunate, if you did understand things you may have a clearer picture os things!

How will the retailers save money??? Instead of paying for DSD they'll pay their own employees to merchandise. Math doesn't add up!! Sounds like a wash to me. They don't have time!! DSD isn't going away. Just because Keebler left doesn't mean everyone else is leaving.

I’m not an elf!! Mondelez employee for 20 plus years, you? Elves have moved on, they are all gainfully employed elsewhere! Keep trying to deflect reality with your “fake news”! Did your DM tell you dsd is here to stay? Hahahahaha, RahRah!

If you can’t see what is coming you consider opening you eyes, gotta be blind! Dsd is ending, retailers are pulling the plug to maximize their profits! Dsd is a luxury they choose not to buy into! Forcing Mondelez Into their warehouses where slotting fees will be paid! Unless Mondelez is going to open “Mondelez Stores” where they will sell Mondelez products, looks like we are going to have to oblige our retailers, Kroger and WM are leading the way! Meijer getting onboard with CAO shortly, more to come!

The exact exit date is a moving target for DSD to end, but everything else has been spot on!

People are working hard to convince themselves dsd is here to stay to avoid reality that they will soon be unemployed! Perhaps channeling that effort into finding a new job would be time better spent!

Fake News!! None of this could possibly be true!! The Elves are fired up spewing fake news on here! DSD isn't going away

Pathetic!

So the branches are always closing the last 2 wks of the quarter I wonder where that page is in the nabisco selling Manuel lol

Would they? Hahahahaha! When my DM sends 5 pallets of product into my store and tells manger the branch is closing for two weeks at quarter close, you tell me, would they? Hell yes they would, and never think twice!

Nabisco wouldn’t cook the books would they

I’ve heard the same thing from drivers , , more than just one too and on more than one occasion. Bet the SEC would love to hear as well as shareholders. If it’s true it’s nothing short of cooking the books!

I’ve had drivers tell me the worst part of quarter close is driving semis around to stored that don’t exist only to send them back to the branch and have them classified as a refusal the next day🤔.

Martha Stewart can share all kinds of thoughts on this type of deception! Criminal if true. Seems hard to imagine this would be made up.

Deliberately overstating one's sales, savings, receipts, or abilities before a board of directors or investors. I am sure this is relatively common in a sales driven organization. I have been in the business for a long time and have seen a lot of things. This has always left me with questions or concerns. Today, seeing how totally stretched and inefficient things seem to operate. This has me asking how any money is made at all?

If nothing is said by April we will not see any changes this year. Won’t be until first quarter 2020 if anything.

Funny thing, Dirk is quoted as saying he is moving away from the cost cutting approach and focusing on growing the company. If dsd were a part of this growth, would they be eliminating DSS positions if dsd was a growth strategy? Nope! People need to look at the facts, which someone nicely laid out, and face reality! Dsd is luxury that retailers are choosing to not pay for anymore as their margins have gotten cut into. Click list, Amazon, WM’s version of click list, and now all these home deliveries and the competition in retail is what is driving retailers to eliminate dsd! It’s all about the bottom line...making $. Historically when a new CEO takes over most changes will occur within first year or two. With all the very obvious changes people need to quit trying to convince themselves their jobs are safe, that ignorance won’t pay the bills! Your gonna feel like a fool when the truth is told, and nobody is gonna feel sorry for you! For those that choose to believe dsd is here to stay cause “we’re too big”, or “my dm told me”, you are in for a rude awakening!

5-10 years is beyond wishful thinking. If dsd isn’t eliminated by 2020, I’d be shocked. Shareholders are not willing to wait and retailers are looking to get margins and profitability back ASAP! 5-10 more years would tank a lot of businesses, including ours! We will see changes this year, quit fooling yourselves!!

I agree as well it won’t be for atleast another 5yrs if we ever leave DSD.

Fuzzy accounting and the smoldering remains of Irene's slash and burn cost-cutting has left an almost unsustainable opperation. Where what were once simple tasks are now a seemingly costly and painful debacle. Look around, the opportunity or capacity to grow, expand, and capitalize has all but been completely eliminated. Future?

All speculation! No one knows anything. Just because Keebler left doesn't mean all other DSD companies are leaving. We could be here for another 5 to 10 years. Who knows?!?!?!? None of y'all know when!

The only person who won’t understand this information is the. Nabisco cheerleader on here who fails to see reality only what the boss tells the nabisco cheerleader lol
