That was about as serious as it gets. In other words that was a corporate “coming to Jesus” talk. Except major changes in Q1 of 2025. We’re not meeting our W4 financial numbers for sure!

I mean at this point I’m used to not being able to understand any of the carefully sorted out jargon they send to us. Looks like big layoff coming soon

Steven Willams promoted to CEO of North America over beverages and foods.

Heads up for those looking: There's a L09 Warehouse Site Leader (PAM) position that opened up in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Standard relocation eligible, too! Find it on the PEPjobs board.

Nor should you. Consider it a transitional job. While you are here, always be on the lookout for other jobs.

Obviously we are not doing great. However employee engagement is at an all time low imo (been here 3 years). Sh-tty holiday party in ny yesterday that nobody went to, people being denied travel + expenses left and right for conferences and events the... — read more 

I heard through the grapevine that senior leadership is deciding to cut back the bonuses for the 2024 year. They're blaming the 2024 company struggles as a reason for supporting the cut in bonuses. The SVP team will not be included in the cutback... — read more 

Just got a company email that VRP package is being offered to PFNA employees in Steven Williams organization (L01-Leadership) Guess rhr Q4 numbers continue to be bad. Ready for some Q1 layoffs in February??

Enjoy it with people you love and try to forget about everything else.

And many of us will comply because we need our jobs and it’s not exactly sunshine and flowers out there these days. So the tag war will probably escalate to all kinds of creatively stupid attrition tactics from Pepsico. At least that’s something they... — read more 

Rumors are all over the place in 2025. This may or may not relate to PepsiCo. To help reduce staff without using layoffs, major corporates will mandate back-to-work five days a week beginning next year. If mandated, let's see who stays and who... — read more 

I might just be paranoid, but that's how it feels. I'm getting less work and my main duty right now is to train the new guy. How fu---d am I?

Why do we work here? A one percent raise and about a third of our bonus? Time to move away from this toxic culture, doing 3 peoples jobs and no accountability.

Common theme the past couple years. Assuming it’s going to repeat? Anyone know how bad?

So in short, my experience was two-sided, working for BCD (alcohol company under Pepsi which was dissolved), then as a large format sales rep in the front-range of the west we will say. Coming in, especially around the start of 100 days of summer... — read more 

First year here. I know the company is doing very sh-tty. But for S&T do we get an EOY bonus? I’m not expecting anything but it would be nice

Mark my words when the economy improves, the first ones to jump ship will be Athina and G-yatri. Because there are no other takers for stupidity now other than Pepsico

what the heck just happened? No questions were answered! how are we supposed to determine our future here?! there is no way PepsiCo VPs dont know what will be happening to all Retail roles in 2025. They know, they just don't want to tell us. Because... — read more 

This is the result of terrible leadership from the top. There are way too many people in roles they have no business being in. If you fit in the DEI category then your chances of moving up and getting roles you're not qualified for are very high. I... — read more 

There’s absolutely no room for career growth here. The hiring is a joke. Everything’s based on who you know, not what you can do. As a bonus, management couldn’t care less about employees and adds zero value. It’s infuriating to watch the company... — read more 

How I am understanding the layoffs is we are losing market share across all markets. Rather than try and fix it since it’s a brand problem gut the field and have the brand teams drive share. If it doesn’t work you will still expand your profit... — read more 

Is they any rumors out there of what plants may additionally be shut down ?? Or are they hoping to keep it a secret, so employees have NO time to prepare ??

What’s your experience with job search? When I first heard about layoffs potentially happening at this time, I started looking for another job just to make sure I have other options. It has been discouraging, frankly. Now that I was laid off, I’m... — read more 

“They’re back. Delusional, chronically lying, totally out of touch, and absolutely convinced the whole world revolves around them.” “Let me guess… Tr*mp?” “No… Athina just pulled into the parking lot.”

I know they have a program but what do you think are the "REAL" areas where they can help - I think more severance can help, maybe training and retraining and upskilling. resume writting, not sure what else. psych help too...

This thread is for info about potential Pepsi layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Just shipped out my laptop and accessories after accepting VRP. They certainly did teach us to travel light. And just like that, a lifetime with PepsiCo is in my rearview mirror.

We truly were ambushed by this round.

PepsiCo keeps trimming the muscle instead of the fat every single time. It’s no surprise the company’s in worse shape than ever.

I hope you find better jobs soon. I’m secretly hoping to be laid off this round as well. I’ve been scared to leave on my own, to be completely honest. Existential concerns can be paralyzing. But I’ve been wanting to leave for a while now, and I’m... — read more 

Why are people commenting "Retirements lost" ? With plant closing, high seniority employees should be able to retire out....what am I missing ??

I haven't visited this board in a while but I've been reading about layoffs and that brought me back. I know these few weeks have been difficult for many. I remember the day I got the news I was laid off, I felt sick to my stomach. But it's been a... — read more 

Obviously we know Athina doesn’t address her workforce whatsoever. But any rumors on S&T layoffs before EOY?

Let's be real here. PepsiCo has been mismanaged and employees have been mistreated for years. I don't know a single person who left - be it on their own or laid off - who hasn't landed in a better position within a few months of leaving. I'm certain... — read more 

And here I was hoping we can relax for a month or two. How naive of me.
