I knew Kelloggs Leadership would screw us on our severance and retention bonus
Well its beginning. Now that they got us all to sign that farce of an agreement they are starting to walk back their end of the bargain. Just wait. Pressure on Walmart numbers will carry a price. They are going to screw us all. If we don't make... — read more
CEO Needs to go
John Bryant needs to be fired. Stock holders don't care about the 600 million your going to save by firing the sales team. It's more important to them to see sales increase. Someone needs to send John back to school and spank him, like the little kid... — read more
Kelloggs will be sold
This is the beginning to the end. What will happen is upper management and the CEO will get fired in a year or two. Then they will hire a new CEO to fix the damage, but it will be to late. The damage will be done and un reversible. So at the end of... — read more

Im a KSR wanted to say Thanks Kelloggs for not selecting me to stay. These poor reps will have 50 stores evey visit will be a nightmare.
They will be micro managed to hit last years numbers, even though they are not ordering. Your K value will be long travel and a 24-7 schedule. I was with my Dm at Walmart and showed him 19 out of stocks of pop tarts. So how many chesse it cookies out... — read more

I have not signed any employment continuation agreement/severance package yet I have it but am not totally sure what to do. If there was a new Lawsuit regarding hours against K..I would jump on that legal wagon. Any feedback?
Carlos Gutierrez bring him back
The best days of Kellogg and Keebler were under Carlos he's only 63 somebody smart (ha!) should bring him back.
Are Kellogg pensions secure?
Reading about the massacre and the incompetent management I'm starting to get nervous about my pension.
Quite the learning experience
Im a "victim" of the recent Kelloggs layoff program. (Found out courtesy of a conference call.) Im not upset. Just one door closed in lieu of another (and better) one opened. I will say that my short experience working for Kelloggs as a PTM (Part... — read more
I'm done with Kellogg. Not an employee, now not a customer.
How much do you pay your Battle Creek execs? What were their bonuses this year? You, and every other greedy American business grubbing for profits are destroying the fabric of our country. When people can't afford your overpriced products because... — read more
Mileage
I'm already asked to travel more unpaid mileage. Does this mean this will continue until I am traveling 2 hours to my first stop?
My head is spinning
Just heard merchandisers are getting a raise next month? What's up with that?
has any other former kellogg's employee received a letter from a collection agency about re-paying "used, un-earned PTO?"
a billion dollar corporation chasing former employees for "over paid wages" how about the money i have lost constantly repairing my car that you made me buy and put thousands of miles on per month? how about my family that never saw me for the entire... — read more
Deliveries to Walmarts
Walmarts are already getting deliveries from their warehouse of cheezits and clubs. Walmart told me it was my responsibility to put the product on the floor. After some 'talking' I told them I was not responsible for that. A few phone calls later... — read more

I did some quick computations we are only working about 155 days this year. you have to work X amount of hours to earn vacation and personal time. If they keep cutting hours we will not qualify for our derserved time paid. They got it all figured out... — read more
The incompetence of this company's management is astounding.
This has been coming for a long time. Their go to market strategy, their technology, reactive planning vs proactive planning, and their top down management have reaped total destruction. While other DSD companies are excelling, doubling down on... — read more
Wall Mart
Has anyone else heard that China mart approached Kelloggs and forced this after cooking Kelloggs books and demanding a 15% price reduction?
AIP?
Is there any word on who is getting AIP payouts this month? Sales Reps/ Merchs?
Town Hall Conference Call/Chuckle Fest
Am I the only one insulted by the "chucklefest" put on by the Kelloggs "Leadership" Team during the Town Hall Conf Call? With all the laughing and joking going on I kind of FORGOT that they are laying off over 7000 employees and affecting thousands... — read more
NWA
Who was kept in your areas. I'm a full time merchandiser in Northern California and we all being let go. They kept 1 person from merch team to do sales and all other sales reps they kept were minorities. This was odd since majority of sales force was... — read more
Good to know.
Lawyer looked over agreement. It's a standard company agreement, nothing hidden. Makes sure the company gets what it wants, a good name with a smooth transition. A call into HR confirmed, for us, that if the agreement is not signed, it's viewed as an... — read more
Play their game, right up until the last inning! And, I'm going on a diet, "No more junk food for me"!
We are all extremely angry, disappointed and feel betrayed. However, in the end what is it going to get us if we trash the company? Some will listen, most will understand and others emphasize, but at the end of the day we have just cheapened... — read more
Media
Why has this massive lay off not been reported by the media. Kellogs was hiring and requiring people to purchase vehicles right to the day they informed the sales team. IN our case we took new position, bought a new car that was required for the... — read more

Piss on Kelloggs
After 26 years of service I was offered a severance package today. I was always one of the top ranked salespeople in my district. The people that were let compared to the people they offered positions to is a complete f••••ing joke. Good luck... — read more

I'm not sure if these numbers are right or not but that what I've heard Kellogg will pay u to stay on tell August. Something to think about since Kellogg is calling it a bonus u will be taxed at 45percent on it which is a huge hit on your bonus to... — read more
