One thing I’ve found to be way too common among people that work for this company is people saying they’re looking for another job and that everyone they’ve spoken to is looking but it doesn’t seem like too many people ever leave and if and when they do it’s long down the road when they either find something better in this sh-t economy or they just get to the point where it comes down to “fu-k this I quit”. I no longer work for this company but started here in 2017 as a part timer and became full time when they rolled out the disastrous mission 1 in early 2023 and was an FTOW for a little under a year and a half and lemme tell you mission 1 made my life a living he-l. I went from being mostly happy with occasionally getting angry or triggered to being mostly unhappy with occasional happy moments. And it was all because I let myself suffer from working for a company that works people like slaves and doesn’t give two sh--s how hard you work. Even before mission 1 I felt the entire time we were heading this way I just couldn’t see it but looking back in hindsight the company itself was going to sh-t even before mission 1 it’s just mission 1 made it worse and I guarantee you this new territory manager sh-t that’s getting rolled out across the board is gonna be an even bigger disaster. I think what a lot of people who continue to deal with this don’t realize is that even if you can’t find something that pays better and you get the same if not more PTO finding something that pays similar maybe little better little worse it won’t hurt to maybe get out of here and do something else while looking for a job that pays better than this. I feel so relived that I no longer do this. Altogether with my 13 years I spent in the vendor world between Keebler(before Nabisco), reset team(while I was part time and Nabisco was fu--ing with my hours) and here I must say if I knew I wouldn’t miss it once I’m gone I would’ve planned my escape much sooner. All I miss is some of the people I’d see from other companies and from the stores I’d go to otherwise I’m glad to be out. I still work in the grocery retail field unfortunately I work full time at a grocery chain that’s fairly new to my area which only opened last year but started hiring for it 2 years ago. While it doesn’t pay that good I needed to do something i couldn’t continue to stay a FTOW and go into work being slammed everyday it was fu--ing with my mental health badly. I think I still never recovered from the burnout from mission 1 because I never had a true full break to recoup since I couldn’t just not work too many bills and rent is too damn high. My current job treats me much better though I wish I would be out of this field altogether but at least at my current job everyone is treated with respect whereas Mondelez is nothing but empty threats and intimidation. I even told someone at my current job some of what I had to deal with at Mondelez when I was having a bad day one day and she was like “omg I’m so sorry”‘ it’s like she felt so terrible for what I had to deal with. I feel like I almost made her cry like she truly felt how horrible I was being treated but Mondelez treats their people horrible. It’s like they threaten the good FTOWs and sales reps into getting them to do an impossible job whereas there’s FTOWs who can’t even pack out an order who are given a tablet to write and order only so they can fu-k it up and have the rep getting phone calls from stores left and right.

The end was the happiest day of my life. Close to 30 years and watching them slowly commit su----e I have no regrets. Miss my guys, but not the way things are because going through it a few times it doesn’t get any better. It sounds good, but if there’s no plan, there’s no plan.
You are absolutely correct. I absolutely hate it here. Mondelez management is the worst. They will bully and overwork all their good employees. I need to get out as the last 3 years have been he-l. I will not be staying when RTM comes to my area
