This used to be a place where you could make a career. How many young people are staying at Mondelez now? It seems that now no one wants to stay in one company for more than 4-5 years or until they gain some basic experience so they can move on... — read more
Needs to said.
When the pandemic started last year the company did right by letting us have control of our territories as far as ordering and taking care of business as we know how to do. I'll admit some are better than others at it but at least we pushed through... — read more
Dirt
So tired of store management treating us like 3rd class citizens
Interview tomorrow morning
Have an interview tomorrow morning and hope it goes my way. Would love to leave this under paying company. Q1 results they show positive growth and we get fu@$ with objectives. Way to take money out of my pockets.
What changed after you left Mondelez?
I feel like a new person after 3 months since I left here. I left when I noticed that I was no longer a happy person with a smile on my face, instead I had become cynical and moody. Then I decided enough is enough and found a new job. Now I enjoy... — read more
Leave, leave, leave
Working at Mondelez is not doing any good to your career or your image. This is an absolutely horrendous place to work and you will realize just how bad it is as soon as you change jobs, no matter which company you move to. It simply doesn't get any... — read more
Bonus structure changing
Heard today that the bonus structure changing. If you do not hit 100% of objective no bonus payout. Announcement toward end of Q2
Anyone know when DSD is ending?
I’m hearing that we’re going warehouse soon! Any truth about that or just rumors?
Bad treatment of employees
It feels like the managers at Mondelez are competing at who can treat their employees worse. Lying, bullying, and intimidation are only some of the many "management techniques" that have become the norm here. I'm honestly scared of finding out what... — read more
What do they do to motivate us?
How inspired and motivated do you feel here? When did you start losing inspiration? It seems to me that Mondelez is no longer doing anything or doing very little to motivate and inspire its employees. The atmosphere is bad and it's become really... — read more
How much did you sacrifice for Mondelez?
I believe most of us have given Mondelez much more than Mondelez has given us. It is a shame what is expected of employees and how much is returned to them given the expectations. I know people who have subordinated their entire private lives to... — read more
Pay Increase
Could the pay increases this year been any more of an insult. With what we went through with Covid while the company had a record year. FU
Lack of merchandising hours on new routes
Has anyone noticed on their new routes you are expected to do too much??? I do not get very much merchandising on my new route. Mondelez expects me to do EVERYTHING! I will have a MOD and get 9 minutes. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get 32... — read more
Dsd is totally optimized
First day of dsd optimization update from somewhere in the southeastern u.s.: Inept DM forgot to send out schedule for all D stores. Inept DM forgot to send out updated contact information for a new combined territory with all new faces. Inept DM... — read more
People who are quitting are doing Mondelez a favor
As simple as that. If you walk out knowing that you'll most likely be laid off before the end of the year you are saving the company money and doing them a huge favor. Every severance saved means more bonus money for those on top. I have no intention... — read more
How close are you to leaving without severance pay?
I don’t like to generalize, maybe Mondelez is a great company for some people, but for me it’s not. Especially lately. Leaving without severance pay would be another victory for them, but I am seriously considering giving them that as well, because... — read more
New routes
What does everyone think about their new routes? Good? Bad? BS? Comments?
Workload now vs. workload before?
How much more are you overwhelmed with work compared to a year or two ago? Can you make a comparison? My responsibilities have certainly doubled, and the stress is multiplying every day and I think they are questioning my limits, how much I can... — read more
There should be a little more interaction?
Is it normal for a person to see their DM once or not at all in their long career? Someone mentioned it in the digression on one of the previous threads and now I’m really interested in your experiences. I’ve only seen him once, and it’s also not... — read more
Nostalgia
That’s the worst thing. What benefit do I get from remembering how it used to be better? There are people who constantly talk about how it used to be, and how it is now, I noticed that on this forum as well. Such nostalgia makes it harder for them... — read more
Biased treatment to SOME employees
Has anyone else experienced biased treatment, or is it just me? The merchandiser does absolutely nothing, then my boss/DM rides my a– to pick up all the slack from these lazy employees. How can I do my job, then pick up the slack of 3-5 other... — read more
And what if Mondelez really was for sale?
I hear a lot of rumors that Mondelez is for sale. I’ve heard such rumors before, when I first started working here and they turned out not to be true, so I don’t believe it's the case now either. However, as much as I used to fear that this could... — read more
Lost passion
I have always dreamed of doing the job I do. When I got my dream job in this company, without any great previous experience, I was thrilled. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to minor details that could be better in this company because I was... — read more
How many good relationships have you built here?
I’ve been here for a long time and I’ve built some very good relationships with people who came to Mondelez at about the same time as me. However, of all these people, only one colleague remained here, all the others either left or retired. I have a... — read more
Mondelez for sale?
Is Mondelez for sale? Heard that is why this month is such a huge push
“We will need to be a very different company”
I apologize if this topic has already been posted, but I just found out about this forum. I am interested in what it actually means for us employees when the CEO recently stated in the media that Mondelez will soon need to be something different, a... — read more
Would you encourage anyone to work here?
Recently, an acquaintance asked me to give him a little more detail about the working conditions here, since his son desperately wants to work at Mondelez. I didn’t know what to say. I was just embarrassed to say that it is better to look for... — read more
People are pathetic
I understand that the situation is difficult and that many are worried about jobs, but sometimes I really don’t understand young people who are so apathetic and negative, they think that any company (including Mondelez) is there only because of them... — read more
Coping in a toxic atmosphere is a job in itself
When someone asks me what the atmosphere is like in this company, my answer is that the atmosphere has become such that I have to spend more time fighting toxic mediocrities and people who hide important information for unknown reasons and that it... — read more
Class Action
So how do we get a class action. I was denied EOI but feel it was only financial as it was much easier and cheaper to get rid of newbies
How much are your good ideas valued here?
A former colleague told me that he had great ideas that just didn’t resonate here. He quit and took his ideas to another company and is now happier than ever. His ideas were accepted almost immediately and he was able to very quickly advance in that... — read more
Love/hate
I've noticed that people who work at Mondelez either love it or hate it, there is no middle ground here. Some will ardently defend it even when there is nothing to defend and others will find faults even in the few good moves the company makes... — read more
Don’t let them do this to you!
According to the new corporate policy, you should NOT inherit ANY mess! If the rep was moved to another territory that credit / back stock counts against them on their new territory. If they are no longer with the organization that credit / back... — read more
Don't get too comfy working from home
Looking at the future of work post-Covid, Van de Put acknowledged some benefits of a flexible schedule for corporate workers, but said he feels the culture of the company will gradually decline with continued virtual work... — read more
Exit plan?
Lately, whomever I’m talking to, everyone’s making plans to get out of here. Do I feel fine here - nope, because Mondelez now is no longer the company I started working for, but honestly, I don’t even know where I would go. I'm slowly considering... — read more
HR
How do we get in touch with HR. Dont trust my DM to ask him
Denied
Seems to be a large number of people that got denied. With just a little effort seems there could have been some shuffling and honored those willing to accept offer and at same time saved jobs of others. Not familiar with this stuff but might be a... — read more
Is it worth waiting for the severance?
I’d say someone who signs an EOI, and wants to leave, but is prevented from leaving this company with what’s supposedly being offered as a severance, and forced to stay, otherwise they can leave with nothing, is an enslaved, endentured employee. The... — read more
