When I was cut a few years ago I was told that some people were being kept for this big super secret project? It was supposed to merge beverage and food systems and generate incredible cost savings. I heard people were being hand selected but I never... — read more
What happened to the COVID thread?
What happened to the threat about PepsiCo announcing that they will fire all LG1 and above who don't get vaccinated? True layoff issue, and it is being silenced
Pay is keeping me here
Yes, there are so many available jobs right now. What do they have in common? Cr-p pay. I've been checking out all available options and the best I could find was 20 percent below what I earn here. Maybe that's okay for some people but for me and my... — read more
I don't understand why I've hesitated for so long
Now that I try to remember, it’s not at all clear to me why I hesitated so long to start looking for a new job. It happens to many, I know, I'm just trying to figure out if it's fear of a new beginning, low self-esteem, a false belief that the grass... — read more
A coworker quit yesterday
I don't think I ever envied anybody as much as I did him at the moment he told me what he had done. He already has a new job lined up so his future is looking good. I've been looking for a few months but I'm yet to find something that works for me. I... — read more
PBNA R&D
I am on a relatively notorious team. I barely do any work and the management tell me I'm doing a good job. However, I still feel like my employment is endangered every day. The tasks we receive are ridiculous and outright ludicrous and nobody seems... — read more

I heard 2022 is when all accounting/finance will be shipped out. is this accurate?
Are KAM positions on the chopping block?
I’ve heard rumors for a while that KAM positions will be phased out eventually. Is there any validity to those rumors?
Yearly Bonuses/Pay Raises
Curious to see what our pay raises will look like this year. We’ve had a phenomenal year across the board but I have a sneaky suspicion they will use some of the labor and supply chain challenges as an excuse to pay us minimally again. Last year I... — read more
Work from home
Should people who have jobs that can be done 100% from home be concerned that their job could be done from anywhere?
No regrets
I left after more than 15 years of service. There was a wonderful group of people I teamed with and it was such a pleasure to go into work. Then slowly all the talented people were being eliminated and it became a struggle to make it through the day... — read more
Will the Juice team go away?
With the recent news on all major news sites does this mean we will have another company do all of the leg work to develop our brands?
Entire consumer relations team in US fired today?
Hearing that the entire consumer relations team in Plano at HQ was fired today. Waiting for more info. What a garbage company.
How long did it take you to realize PepsiCo was not worth your respect?
I remember five years ago when I started working here, I was so excited. I couldn't believe I landed a position at PepsiCo, I thought I was so lucky. It took me about a year to become completely disillusioned and accept this place for what it truly... — read more
What people think of PepsiCo Vs. the reality?
If I hadn’t come to PepsiCo, I would have thought this company is great, that everything works just fine. If I hadn’t thought so, I would never have left my job at the old company and come here. Despite the fact that it is very easy to get... — read more
The best day at PepsiCo
Was that the day you came here or the day you gave notice that you were leaving? In my case there is not much of a dilemma. I had high hopes when I first came here, but now that I’m leaving I’m much happier. I finally got a new job, and I was... — read more
Accept smaller pay just to get out of here?
The only think more toxic than many of PepsiCo products are the politics and company culture. Irrespective of the pay, if one can find a more decent environment, get out now. Who can thrive in a tank full of sharks except others of the same stripe?... — read more
Will they ever take responsibility?
This company is most specific for its leadership, which is almost never willing to take responsibility. Employees are always to blame. When it doesn't work out - it's the employees' fault and they should be cut. When it goes well - then it is... — read more
Greener pastures
There are many who say that they found much better paid jobs after leaving PepsiCo and that the job market is much better now. Is that really true in most cases? How long have you been looking for a new job and how much are you getting paid more... — read more
Feedback at pepsi
Hello everyone. New here. My director during my last connect with him told me that I needed to be aware of how I was being perceived. When I asked for a specific example he said I can give you 5 and started going on how I was making others feel. He... — read more
Last Week at Pepsi
Next week is our last week. Half the team got lateral moves, the other half left the company. Is life better after Pepsi?
Question about transfers
I had asked my manager what the process was on transferring into another BU. He basically told me not to bother with the process because he wouldn’t approve it. Is there any way I can get a transfer without his authorization? If not then I will need... — read more
Going down the sewer
I’ve said it a few times to colleagues and I’m going to say it here. This company is heading to the bottom at a breakneck speed. It was a horrible ride and I’m glad to be hopping over to another well-recognized company known to have respect towards... — read more
Frito Lay Strike
Why was this not mentioned in the Town Hall?
PepsiCo forces cancer patient into ST disability
Saying she is a risk to other employees but works remote????? Disgusting.
Earnings
PepsiCo stockholders are happy today but employees who were given good reviews and small raises are dealing with prices of everything they buy going through the roof. If this company cared one bit about employees they would give a mid year raise... — read more
Rarely does anyone bother to keep a job
At the moment, I know many more people who are looking forward to being the target of layoffs than those trying to keep their job at Pepsico. The question is why is that so? Are they aware that their management has led the best employees to the... — read more
Uncertainty is the worst
When I feel like layoffs are around the corner but they still haven’t announced anything, the motivation is zero and the anxiety is astronomical. How do you even find the will to get the job done while waiting for them to let you know if you are a... — read more
Post July 4th layoffs
Don't we usually have layoffs in the week of or after the Fourth of July?
Image Or Integrity
What is genuinely heart breaking is watching a company that invests so much time, effort and social media space to convince the world how great it is when employee testimonials overwhelmingly convey a complete lack morals and ethics. Many of us share... — read more
Layoff Support
I wish there was some type of support group or something where we can air out ALL our grievances over the pain of being laid off, having to train our replacements every single day for MONTHS (with a smile), possibly being retained but downgraded… And... — read more
What happen?
Why does it seem more and more that PepsiCo is trying to cut its way to being profitable? The only way they seem to be improving the company's numbers these days is through layoffs and other reductions in costs. What happened to actually finding... — read more
Are midyear reviews written/kept in PDR?
Hi all. Employee who joined last winter. I got access to my PDR review comments in March like I believe all other employees did. My manager how now set up “midyear review” calls with each person on my team. Will this information be written and... — read more
Are you prepared in case of layoffs?
I've been preparing for a long time. I left aside as much savings as I could and have been sending job applications for a long time, renewing some connections, etc... I don't believe that June will pass without layoffs, there has been a lot of talk... — read more
Raises
So. Since we got cr---y raises even with really good reviews, and they blamed it on Covid, I assume they see the inflation numbers recently, and will give us a mid year raise?
Has there been so much nepotism ever before?
It's present in every company. However, it's become really rampant here, or so it seems to me? Has the situation always been like this or is nepotism now at its peak? I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't think I'll stay much longer... — read more
