Any info on plant closings?
Some nasty rumors out there. Anyone hear anything solid?
Just one more reason...as it we need it!
Anyone know that Kroger charges vendors a "bin fee"? Kind of a rental fee for putting product in their warehouse. So the $60M distribution plant they just completed we helped pay for! Any vendor that wants in Kroger pays to warehouse their stuff... — read more
BIG RESETS
Wow! Look at all the space at all the stores! Keebler only has cheez its, club is doing nothing. Nabisco has stuff in all stores and 70 percent of the aisle. Yeah, I’m sure stores have time to put up nabisco product.
Management will always lie
Who cares what Mondelez is "committed" to, management can, and will, always change their minds! Two years ago they had a regional meeting for us to tell us all the rumors of a possible downsizing were untrue. Three months later they let go of 1/3 of... — read more

Missing the big picture
People are missing the biggest piece to the puzzle...."WM is going CAO" and "Kroger is testing CAO". Mondelez is not driving the boat here, and Dirk is not making these decisions. "We are committed to DSD" means nothing when we are not deciding... — read more

Warehouse
Would employees in the warehouse be safe?
My thoughts
Nobody seems to talk about the fact that frito lay has been C.A.O at both Walmart and Kroger for almost a year and still servicing store. Sure they are making some changes but will still be delivering and merchandising stores with their new... — read more

Severance
Question: If you get a severance are you still allowed to collect unemployment?
Just stop - All of you
The amount of idiocy on this site astounds me. The Mondelez loyalists who can’t accept a glimmer of possibly that DSD might go away. The ex-Kellogg employee’s who want nothing more than Nabisco reps to join their misery while trolling this forum. And... — read more

Quote from Dirk Van de Put yesterday's earnings report
