Am I the only ex SR, (displaced during round 1), who believes that this is a 1 year plan and that the last round of displacements will be announced by August 25th, 2023? Was shocked that my 28 years came to such a quick close, but it was the best... — read more
Not management
Hello there. Just wanted to introduce myself and ask everybody where they are from, what area do you work in, and how long have you been with Mondelez? Do you feel Mission One is working; and if not, what exactly is it you think we could do better? — read more
Cutting costs as their main focus
Mondelez could do better with the right people in the right positions. Unfortunately, the reality is different. We can only guess, but I'm really interested when will cutting costs stop being the main focus of those who are now at the top?
How much would they need to pay you?
How much should reps make for all they deal with? Or how little should reps make for those that think reps don't do anything?
You've got to be kidding me
My ftow gave a store manager My number because she needed to talk to me. Her complaint was the excessive backstock, holes on shelf and overall lack of service/displays not being built. Literally everything My ftow is supposed to be doing but he gave... — read more
Who do we blame ?
So who’s the id--t that first thought up the whole “Mission One”?? They need to be fired just like that Bud Light lady was. Because this is absolutely horrible and we all knew it would be this bad.
No one wants sales positions
Can't believe we have had a sales representative position advertised in this area for over a month. That's unheard of. See how low we have fallen.
Claiming to throw loads…is the biggest load
We get it…you’ve already coached your DM into believing that you work sooooo hard and that you have soooo many stores AND that you can’t get to all of them each week. We get it. You’ve had 6+ months to visit around 30 stores and some of them you... — read more
Ready to learn
Hi everybody!! I just accepted a position called full time order writer. I will be beginning pretty soon :) any advice is welcome! I’m ready to help this company out any way I can
There are many other opportunities out there
Now that I look back on my time at Mondelez, I regret that I stayed so long. I see that many are worried and are feeling uncertainty as to what changes will follow. Why? Because no one expects changes for the better anymore. That's why I say it's... — read more
Laughable bonus
Got my first bonus since the restructuring. I busted my A for the quarter for a lousy $400 bucks after taxes. That was the final straw for me. Can’t wait to find another job
I have to ask why
Store manager here; just what exactly is going on??? I’ve never even met my new sales rep yet.
More changes?
Anyone hear of an announcement of more changes coming in August?
Mission: Warehouse
Already going to predict it…warehouse first of the year. All of this nonsense about riding it out or maybe just a couple more years…y’all are delusional if you think this is going to last. SRs saying they have so much to do and are no where to be... — read more
We are the joke of the DSD Industry.
Other Companies, Vendors, and even grocery store employees are laughing at our new “work model”. Store workers and other vendors recognize that the majority of the FTOW’s don't know what they are doing and are not good at what they do. What an utter... — read more
Ups yellow freight amazon teamsters
All going on strike yet. All you do is sit and complain and wait for a sorry a-s severance
Mission 1
The worst part of mission 1 is that it makes us sales reps look bad. I've always taken pride in my work and now I feel like all these store managers think I'm a cr-ppy worker when I'm busting my butt but it's impossible to give 25 stores good service... — read more
Conscientious objector
I will no longer be selling any displays because of the climate crisis. Every cardboard hutch you build leaves behind a carbon footprint that is destroying the earth.
Try not to sell
A store actually asked me to build a display. Now what do I do? I’ve never done this before
Exclusive: ‘Shameful and unethical.’ Heineken, Unilever and Oreo maker Mondelez accused of breaking promises to leave Russia
In March 2022, snack and candy giant Mondelez promised to scale back “all non-essential activities in Russia while helping maintain continuity of the food supply.” Mondelez said it would focus its operation on “basic offerings.” However, Mondelez –... — read more
Failures swept under the rug
Is it too much for leadership to finally start admitting that some of their decisions resulted in big failures, instead of trying to embellish the truth or sweep the mistakes under the rug? Maybe then things would finally start getting better for... — read more
Culture
You gotta love the culture mondelez has created. The ftow thinks the SR does nothing. The SR thinks the ftow does nothing. The SR AND FTOW think the RMS and DM does nothing. The RMS thinks the DM does nothing. The DM thinks everybody does nothing... — read more
Stop Selling, Start Working
Seen all of these posts/comments saying “it doesn’t pay to sell” or “merchandisers don’t even bother to fill my display”…okay here’s a thought, how about you start coming out of your house and throwing orders like the rest of us. Lol Y’all might have... — read more
CPH cheat
One way to “cheat” the system is by having reps throwing orders on the daily to improve the CPH for their benefit and make it look good on the reports. There was a rep that worked five deliveries for a twelve hr day and the DM harassed them about why... — read more
Sold in a hutch
Probably gonna take the rest of the week off to rest up. Gonna try and sell in 2 hutches next week
I’m back
I sold a display today. Let’s see if my FTOW can bother reading the notes. Just kidding. I could order for it myself and that 50 cases will still go in backstock. This happens when you recruit who’s not eligible for rehire at McDonald’s — read more
Welcome back
Sales reps will be returning from their week off. Maybe they will sell a display this week.
Retail
So ready to leave retail altogether.
Answer the phone
Your stores need service. They have a hole and demand perfection even though they won’t give you a single display
Fourth Of July
Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend 🇺🇸
What was the GS call about?
I missed it
No Drivers?
I'm hearing drivers possible going on strike in the northeast?
The Art of Selling…from your couch
Look, it’s about time these SRs start actually working instead of “selling”. I’m on calls all the time hearing that they are getting not just 40 hours but OVERTIME…lol No displays anywhere to be found and I’ve literally seen a SR bring in a hutch... — read more
Claims that sales reps are no longer necessary
Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I don't understand why there is so much animosity towards sales reps.
Mgmt's behavior…
I can't work in this atmosphere anymore. It is absolutely unacceptable behavior for a manager to be yelling at employees, but here it is almost a daily occurrence……. Mondelez obviously protects such managers, regardless of the fact that their... — read more
Another week, another vacation
Is it just me or every time you turn around the SR is on ANOTHER vacation?!? Lol The SR for one territory has already had 4 vacations so far and some how gets the weeks of a Holiday or leading up to one. How? Lol I was always told that you could... — read more
GS call Tuesday 9
Anyone else get this email? Big announcements it said!
Independence Day
My second official holiday in 15 years that I won’t be stressed out trying to keep stores full and working 40 hours in 4 days because the RMS refuses me any extra help to account for 5 days of deliveries going in 4 days. They would always cater to... — read more
