I was let go been with company 20 years no real reason to why I was chosen, but the rest of my team got their new territories and I find out they are smaller than what I'm working right now. So how does laying off 2 to 3 reps per team equal smaller... — read more
To those denied
Curious to hear experiences of those who signed EOI and were denied. I have nearly 30 years most of which were pretty successful. I was never even told that I was denied. Just told what territory will be. Seems to me almost a type of discrimination... — read more
Left without notice?
Someone has already written in one of the threads that this is exactly how they left the company - without notice. Honestly, I am currently in a situation where it would be most convenient for me to leave Mondelez without any notice. However, apart... — read more
Share your opinions...
Take a few minutes and post your opinions of working at Mondelez on Glassdoor. This information and flagging Mondelez for their toxic work environment may save someone else the heartache. Abusive managers, discriminatory behavior that has been... — read more
Terrible place to work
Was a time I was proud. Now I'm embarrassed working for the worst dsd company out there. Got my EOI declined and got my 1 % raise today. Big thanks. 10 months and I'm gone. To all of you younger people. Get out.
Anything new somebody can share?
DM here. We had a call on Wednesday and all I can say is that there are going to be some dramatic optimization changes in the organization. The call was pretty emotional when it was announced that they were bringing in a third party to facilitate... — read more
Thinking twice about it
I’m working on an exit plan to leave. That being said, has anyone just quit without having anything to fall back on? Like a “leap of faith” that things will work out in the end. The stress level here has gotten so bad I’m actually considering it. But... — read more
Shock tactics
That is how this company rolls. There's never any notice to massive changes. They send you an email or a text that there's a region call, usually day of, that's your notice. I remember when we bought Cadbury. The Cadbury rep sent me a text... — read more
I’m a little disappointed in the former colleagues
It is usually advised that having a good network of contacts is crucial for success in finding your next job. I thought I had a solid network that I've been building while I was still working at Mondelez. I was a bit disappointed in my former... — read more
DM giving me no answers
Since my DM is not giving the team any information I’ll stay my 4 days down and not k–l myself if my job is not safe. Let my merchandiser do it as he is safe. I’ll play the dad card
The DM’s know what’s going on?
Just got word that my DM knows what’s going on. Our team has a conference call in a few weeks. Anyone else hear anything?
Any publicity is good publicity?
Or so they say... J. mayor says he’s boycotting Oreos after Nabisco plant closure leads to 600 lost jobs “I‘m not going to be eating any Oreos or anything from Nabisco anytime soon. I think the way in which they handled this was extremely... — read more
Why so much secrecy?
People stay at their jobs because they are satisfied in some way: payment, atmosphere, benefits, working hours or similar. I haven’t been very happy with anything lately. The company is no longer what it was a few years back and where I loved... — read more
Take care of yourselves
Mondelez didn’t know you existed before you applied and won’t notice you when you’re gone. Take care of yourself.
Severance pay/ unemployment
Someone had already asked, but there was no answer: can we file for unemployment if we get severance? That interests me too, does severance affect unemployment and how? I was laid off and received a severance package, and now I am afraid it will... — read more

Timing
Anyone hearing anything on when we might learn more about restructure?
TownHall
Who got on today's townhall. What a joke. Wrong time for a pep rally.
So done with this place
In my nearly three decades long career I've never worked at a place with a more toxic work environment from top to bottom. It's not just the management, even your coworkers can't wait to trip you up somehow if it'll make them look good. I've been... — read more
Former Employee saying I told you so! READ THIS
You know this entire forum used to be filled with people saying “DSD is here to stay”, “We have too many SKUs for these stores to handle”, “My DM told me that we are committed to DSD”, etc. and now those people have either stayed under their DMs desk... — read more
Mondelez: before and now
When I look at what's happening in other companies and other industries when it comes to layoffs, working at Mondelez is not so horrible. Yet, when I compare the work atmosphere from the time I first started working here (almost 11 years ago) and... — read more
Where is D. C.?
What happened to "the pandemic saved DSD"? D C, what's your next worthless insight?
Official. Both plants closing.
Meeting today confirmed it. S—s
Why did you agree to voluntary separation?
Someone wrote about how wrong the people who agreed to voluntary separation were. I am that case. I knew it wasn’t a good move. In fact, I don’t even know what my real reason was for agreeing to it. I guess I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore... — read more
How's your job search going?
Now I realize I had become complacent about my career and I thought the situation in the job market was a little better so I didn’t look for an alternative in time. I have been trying to find an adequate job for 2 months now and I am failing at it. I... — read more

Anyone hearing anything from their dm. Mine is extremely tight lipped?
JYVE will take your Mondelez Positions
Go on YouTube https://youtu.be/cy1-U8iHfAE JYVE is the Merchandising version of Uber eats and Instacart, and corporate greed has Mondelez, Walmart, and other big chains employing Jyvers by the thousands. There’s no cost cuts when hiring 10... — read more
Common Mistake, protect yourself
One mistake people make during a downsizing...asking questions of HR. HR is employed by Mondelez and their allegiance is to Mondelez, not you! Having been through a number of these "downsizing", including this one, the best advice is to take your... — read more
Lawsuit? It’s problematic that Mondelez
Mondelez is issuing Layoffs with no direct date! To keep Sale Reps, DMs in limbo from Feb-April is BS! No one has real answers! I’ve worked 3-4 positions. Does severance cover all years with the company or just sales rep years? HR is a joke. I can... — read more
Thoughts on the restructure?
I thought there would be more activity on this forum considering this could potentially be the real beginning of the end of DSD. What are we thinking about the new structure? It seems like they are creating this new REM position that oversees the... — read more
Just turn in my EOI
JUST TURNED IN MY EOI, HOPE IT GETS APPROVED. HAVE ANOTHER JOB LINED UP. ILL TAKE THE SEVERANCE AND START MY NEW JOB.
yet another class action lawsuit settled
Wow, a second class action lawsuit in two years. This one they settled...likely after they lost the one in California. Senior management did a great job in grooming PIGS! Forced overtime without pay. I average 5-6 hours of "admin time" a week for... — read more
Layoffs coming in Q2
Confirmed by DM Not sure who’s going to be laid off but they said changes coming at the start of Q2 Good luck everyone

DSD Ending in 2021
Mondelez has been quietly closing sites in its DSD delivery model for years. I worked at a high volume, very efficient nabisco branch outside of the biggest city in WI for years until they shut it down in 2017. We were not the first closure or the... — read more
Holiday Layoffs!
holiday layoffs begin next week!
Praying we keep our plants
I can’t see myself working anywhere but at the plant. My colleagues are like family to me which is saying a lot. If the plant closes how many employees will have to relocate just to be able to find another job to support their own? The plant is also... — read more
Mondelez Layoffs 2021
What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of Mondelez Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?
This scares the hell out of me
I'll be honest, I've been here for ten years and I'm scared of losing it all. The idea of my plant closing now, when my chances of finding a new job is nonexistent, is petrifying. Any other time I would have been fine, but I'm honestly not sure how... — read more
This is not the way to do it
Anybody else hates the 'may be' in reference to plant closings? Plants 'may be closing...' Either tell us we're done or don't say anything at all, don't keep us hanging in limbo! But in any case, since the projected closure date is mid-2021, at least... — read more
