Our depot probably has around 2 to 3 good workers. There are about 3 to 4 workers who can speak proper English. There is one worker who can even read at our meetings and he is like a 24 years yet. There is a driver who delivers wrong loads to the... — read more 

I Think October is going to be the end and pizza will start quicker than expected. A lot of Layoffs will start in September. I’m willing to bet most of us will have our 60 day notices by the end of August. You have to remember that pizza is 70% of... — read more 

Lol only 1% will transition to another role and those spots are probably already reserved for leadership at the moment Way to add salt to the wound Nestle. Stop giving people false hope

Wish the journey could’ve lasted longer but it is what it is. Honestly what s---s about this whole thing was that i started out as a temp working for nestle and worked my a-- off over a year to get hired on. When the time finally came and I got the... — read more

Just got a message from our DSL that merchandisers will keep their roles longer through the transition. Supposedly it was confirmed from higher ups

As i have speculated since the news about the Layoffs, i knew this would begin to happen. More and more merchandisers in my area are blowing off stores they need to merch and leaving without doing any work. DSL’s are not caring whatsoever with no... — read more 

As the packet reads PSR's RSR's drivers as a whole have to hit 95% in order to qualify for your retention bonus . There is no guarantee you are going to receive that . Nestle could come up to you on your last day and say thank you for working all... — read more

I’ve been a employee here with nestle for 14 years. I’ve been a driver, route relief, salesmen, inventory lead, and merchandiser. I can honestly say it was the best job I’ve had ever had. Saying that I’ve worked with some of the strangest people. We... — read more 

Heard from a very reliable source that Carolinas were informed that DSD operations would be done by November. I also believe that they had many customers on warehouse program already. Maybe an easier transition

How do they decide which route to cut? Why wouldn’t they cut the lowest tenured sales rep, driver, merchandiser etc? I think they’d be leaving themselves vulnerable to a potential lawsuit when it would be just as easy to cut the lowest person and... — read more

Short email asking me to confirm my address I can’t think of any explanation besides an imminent 60 day notice Anyone experience same?

It’s all over in September that’s when pizza goes. Ice cream goes in October. I believe when pizza goes more than half of us will be cut. The other half would only stay for another month so big deal. Expect 60 day notices to start rolling out the end... — read more

I'm hearing rumors that the icecream brands are being sold to the Ligma Group. Could be just a rumor though.

They wont all go at once. Our commission will drop, our overtime will disappear ( hard to work 50 hrs when half your stores are gone.)Heard they have a rule saying if your sales drop below 85% for 4 straight weeks you get bumped up to 85% pay. Doesnt... — read more
