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
Make it make sense
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

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
