Thank You BDB

The demise of DQ can be solely accredited to the grape master himself. His legacy lives on in the team of mo--ns that has been assembled to run this once great company. The future looks very dark. Not a glimmer of hope for us now.

You either die hero, or you live long enough to be driven into the ground by the trash bag grapemaster

Ask The Expert With Alex Epstein

Catastrophic decision to allow this presentation going ahead. This is part of reason BD has been removed. With all going on around the world especially at this time, this definitely will have an impact on DQ. Good luck JB on turning this one round. — read more

Hard work is not rewarded

The opposite is true. The harder you work the more your workload will increase. Basically, you're getting punished while those who slack off continue to do what they always had. You end up doing your and their jobs while your pay remains the same... — read more

Good place to start a career?

I know one young guy who applied for a job here. He doesn't have much experience, but he hopes to get a job. I do not want to demotivate anyone from coming here and giving it a go, after all he can always leave. However, I'm thinking is DQ now a... — read more

No cuts, but...

No cuts, but working here is becoming increasingly difficult... It doesn't mean much to me that my job is safe for a while, if in the meantime they put me under so much pressure that makes me want to get out of here. The fact that even those who used... — read more

OVERTIME

I only got stress and lack of free time from doing overtime here because DQ often takes overtime for granted. I wonder how much overtime you do on average? (Primarily I mean overtime that doesn’t help you increase your income and that doesn’t help... — read more 

I had much higher expectations

I still haven’t been able to find a new job, but I’m trying to find something outside of this industry. Maybe I was overly enthusiastic when I expected it to become much better here after the vaccines largely put the pandemic under control?... — read more

Toxic work culture

Instead of fostering teamwork, management seems intent on rewarding those who will stop at nothing to get ahead. Basically, if you are not comfortable with backstabbing, don't expect to get ahead here. And yes, I'm bitter but I have every right to... — read more

The worst example of “work smarter, not harder”

It's become annoying to me how some people here pretend to be so busy. I mean, why is that? To look better? I don’t understand such people. I don’t know how DQ has become a company that values those who just pretend to work hard more than those who... — read more

Stock market shows confidence in the Bird (Not)

Looks like the stock market don't have much faith in tweetie pie. Share prises plummeting every day. Hope the wage thief sold his shares before his announcement that he is to become a fulltime grape master.

The only thing I appreciate

I have been gone for a few months. I landed a really good job to advance my career. The only thing I’m grateful for is my team for giving me the knowledge and experience I am now using in my current position. Other than that, everything else was just... — read more 

Green Washing

Realise that this is happening all across the industry, with oil companies putting a green spin on things, but DQ's recent marketing has been comical!

More orders

Heard that things are getting busier onwards and upwards bring on the overtime

More payoffs?

Going by what’s on here I take it more payoffs to come ?

Slow workdays?

I don't know what situation you're in, but I have very little work to do lately. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had less. Every day is a slow day. Some would say that's great, but I'm starting to get worried if it goes on like this. Looking at my... — read more 

Forced ranking again

The best way to get our people to run faster is to pit them against each other. Rank them against one another - top 20% are the darlings, middle 70% are the worker bees, bottom 10% are the laggards. And if we keep at it year after year, they will... — read more
