This wait and anticipation is becoming worse than the possible result. This has turned into a cruel and unusual punishment - for what, I don't know. What good does this prolonged wait do for anybody? If I'm going to be laid off, just let me know... — read more

Question: If you get a severance are you still allowed to collect unemployment?

The amount of idiocy on this site astounds me. The Mondelez loyalists who can’t accept a glimmer of possibly that DSD might go away. The ex-Kellogg employee’s who want nothing more than Nabisco reps to join their misery while trolling this forum. And... — read more

Our product will be still coming on our trucks when Walmart goes CAO. As long as we are still delivering we are not leaving DSD.

As an ex Keebler rep that would be my advice to you do it soon

From what I've been reading on here looks like DSD will be ending sometime between April 18th to June 29th. No one really knows for sure when they're planning to pull the plug. From what I've been hearing my guess would be an April 18th announcement... — read more
