If the option comes to you to stay with Kellogg's with the much smaller snacks organization, would you stay??

So Walmart is changing over in April. Where does that leave labor? My guess is part time positions will be gone. Also, why the hell and I being told this by my customers and not by Kellogg's. That's shady and not part of K Values.

so they say we get 4 grand to stay to August with $1ooo given ahead of time but when walmart and other large accounts start getting direct delivery by April where does that leave us ? 30hr workweeks to August? so they are paying us our own money in... — read more

After 19 years I lose my job with Kelloggs. The strangest part is when a VP tells us the median household income is $75000. They don't have enough money to buy our products because they cost to much. Then she fires 3000 people and doesn't realize we... — read more
