I wouldn’t be surprised if the layoffs happen in April. The most important thing for me is that until then I have time to consider alternatives, just in case. Pepsico would not be the only company that, despite the profit, decided to make big cuts... — read more
What a joke on Bonuses and Raises this year!!!
Hearing bonuses are same as last year and raises are terrible. We go through Covid Hell and Pepsi pockets all the profits. Gross.
Where are they today?
What happened to all those IT people that were rebadged to the outsourcing vendor in 2015? Are they still employed or did the vendor drop them after Pepsi decided to change outsourcing vendors in 2017? Were they hired back by Pepsi.
Big Hurt Or Big Hype?
Everybody still warm and snuggled ??? Another doomsday prediction avoided.
Beverage or Snacks?
And yeah I knew many from beverage who were jumping over to Snacks because snacks is the division that has carried this company given the margins and endless innovation. There is far less room on the beverage side for innovation so beverage... — read more
WHAT "CAREER"?
IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A COMPANY WHERE YOU WON'T GET PROMOTED OR HAVE A CAREER THEN PEPSI IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. DOESNT MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK, OR HOW QUALIFIED YOU ARE, THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOME BOGUS EXCUSE NOT TO PROMOTE YOU.
How can they be so cruel?
After 30 years I was given zero notice. I was invited to a staged meeting and let go by people who had no idea what my job was or what my team even did. I was stripped of all my Pepsi property and escorted to my car by a complete stranger. Not even... — read more
Balanced Diversity
The new chopping block catch phrase. Now that all the rule 70 people have been sent to pasture, the directive for the next wave of cleansing is to balance diversity. SLT have set very aggressive and very public expectations for a diverse employee... — read more
WTF is Pearl Milling Company? dumb--ses!
Wow, so hopefully during the upcoming Valentines M—acre ALL of PepsiCo's marketing and branding teams are fired. 1) You are blowing money on sh–ty Superbowl half time shows. 2) You are over paying for having Ashton Kutcher and Mila In your... — read more
Wasn’t me
That severances everyone of IT, R&D & HR. Wasn’t me
Super Bowl
The Super Bowl show sponsored by PEP is a waste of shareholders money and an insult to those about to be terminated or layed off. Who is this guy on the show some second rate fool that fortunately nobody can g by ear much less understand.
Frito Lay Products Taste Like Sh--. Good Job R&D!
I worked in Frito R&D for several years before being laid off, despite being a top performer on annual reviews, along with 15% of the department; many of whom were older PepsiCo veterans who knew what they were doing. It has been several years... — read more
February Layoffs / Restructuring
If the past is indicative of the future and we continue to follow KO's lead.... then buckle up for the next 10 days.
Burning the furniture
Hear they are cutting costs at every corner..... anyone else seeing this?
Termination Notice
With all the talk about massive cuts I am getting worried. If you get terminated, do you leave right away? Do you still work for a few weeks?
People Quitting
My department has people quitting weekly. They are not going to hire. Can they shut down the department ?
Below cost of living adjustments are not raises
When’s the last time you received above a 3% in the same role?
Breaking point
It’s not nice to be ungrateful at work at a time when people are losing their jobs en masse and in general, working here has been nice for many, many years. However, backstabbing seems to have spiraled out of control and it's becoming unbearable... — read more
Social responsibility starts with employees
When people hear where I work, they think I have a lot of benefits, and the reality is completely different. I understand that the company is trying to present itself to the public in the best possible way, so they are very generous, for example... — read more
Earnings February 11
If Pepsi is going to have layoffs, restructuring, early retirements.....it will happen before Febtuary earnings call. Hold on tight...... storm is coming
SOPs and Policy
Why is it so hard to find these things at PepsiCo? Is there way to get them without asking managers? Seems nobody is doing anything the right way.
I am hearing through the california grapevine that 75% of all key account managers gone by the end of the year
There is quite a bit of chatter around these positions calling on 1-2 buyers passing along information that can be streamlined. Layer work back into GTM etc. All faucets of business to see this. Huge slaughter coming across all these heads.
Oklahoma cuts?
Has anyone heard anything about Oklahoma getting axed? It’s a fairly old place and they say all the the company recycling comes here. So I wouldn’t think they cut that?
Anything but Canada hit this week?
If not, what are the chances that we might be next? There were some rumors about layoffs this month so I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be true. After all, PepsiCo is determined to lay of as many as it can as fast as it can. I wish this... — read more
Lay-off rumours ?!
Something fishy is going on up here in Canada . We’re apparently sending out only 4 trucks with Pepsi and Diet Pepsi only on Friday something about a “warehouse revamp.” Mandatory townhall meeting for warehouse only tomorrow . Managers also... — read more
If you could turn back time would you still choose to work here?
Yesterday I was a little shocked when a colleague told me that she was satisfied in spite of everything and that if she could do it all over again she would still apply for a job here. I wish that was also my case, however all I can say is that I... — read more
Reducing the plastic footprint
I am horrified to see that the name of the company in the media is very often associated with top plastic polluters. I understand that this problem is difficult to solve, but the devastating fact is that we do very little in reinventing how we... — read more
Survey
How many at PepsiCo are currently looking for a new job? How many have thought about quitting the company even without a backup option? This is something we need to made known to the leadership team. I think they have no idea just how many of us... — read more
PepsiCo Fall From Grace?
Why is the stock market setting records but PepsiCo stock is falling? Why is there lack of faith in the company while there is a huge surge of confidence in the markets ? What am I missing ?
Conditions imposed to obtain severance
What’s worse, PepsiCo makes you sign a full release of any wrongdoings and Human Rights violations as a condition to get your severance. A great company ???? It is corrupt to the core ! It’s amazing how they protect themselves in every way. They... — read more
This company has messed us all up
Just look at the threads posted here in the past several days. The year has barely started and people are already stressing about iminent layoffs and wondering if today or tomorrow could be the day. This is not a healthy work environment, that much... — read more
What are your expectations for 2021?
I'm Alex Bitter, a reporter with Business Insider trying to learn more about PepsiCo (including any layoffs that the higher-ups might be planning). It sounds like something might be in the works for 2021, but feel free to reach out at... — read more
Early Retirement
At what age are you eligible for early retirement?
First week of 2021
Do they wait until February or do layoffs / head cuts/ early retirement start this upcoming week? Your thoughts?
How Will They Notify Us?
I know my department will be gone. How will they tell us? Email, meeting, phone call?
IT, HR, Legal— who is next?
Who is next to go to Hyderabad? Is the goal still 2022.
More Cuts To Older Employees
Is it just me or does it look like Pepsi is getting rid of all the older and longer serving employees. I used to really enjoy listing to their experiences and getting advice. It’s seems like they have all been cut. Lots of questions on this site... — read more
