1. an area or portion that is distinct from others
Sector Definition is 1. an area or portion that is distinct from others Only logical next move is eliminate 100% of the sector. Now that the divisions runs themselves and don’t leverage the sector for anything.... Next move is to get rid of the... — read more
Happy New Year
Scary to sit in all these meetings to hand hold our replacements offshore on year end once again. It’s like nursery school. I can see why now they don’t have the balls to make more cuts now. Just give me my package and set me free from this... — read more
This weeks layoffs
An earlier post discussed a lay-off occurring the first week of December. Any new info to share? According to our “training” we are suppose to say I am an employee of PepsiCo and these are my opinions and not that of PepsiCo. So, it’s my opinion only... — read more
GlassDoor
Quite a number of positive reviews for Frito on GlassDoor these days. Definitely seems like it's lining up well with college recruiting and offers. They're playing the game and they are playing it hard.
Pepsi Employee Loyalty
I have given the majority of my working career to Pepsi and my family and I have made countless sacrifices for my work. I expect to be cut soon but being close to retirement age I expect to have quite a challenge finding another job. I still have... — read more
Non IT lay-off Thread- the blood bath is coming
PBNA to get hit the hardest. Better faster stronger = remaining redundant roles purged. If you're not a top performer get ready.
UNLESS
UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
How many people are left in IT?
I know the cuts were brutal, but I don't think we ever learned how many exactly were left afterwards?
Burn the Furniture
All sorts of panic about cutting costs. The easiest way to cut costs is to cut heads. Get ready for a bloodbath
What Happened ????
What the hell happened to IT services over the past year? Its a joke! Is there anybody left that has a clue about our applications?
Pepsi Layoffs 2020
Make a prediction and tell us what you think about Pepsi Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?
Week of December 2nd Layoffs
Beware, just discovered that HR has booked conference rooms on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Warning Signs of Layoff?
Recently had a new HR rep assigned to my team in IT. She's much more involved than what I have seen in the last 10 years from other HR reps. She asks many questions such as... How my team is different from IT teams? Why do we still have workers... — read more
End of year layoffs / head cuts
Will part of their 2.4 billion restructuring include end of year layoffs, headcuts? Your thoughts?
"Agile seating"
Anyone hear any additional news about when they're kicking everyone out of White Plains to cram us into "agile seating" in Purchase?
Employee Appreciation Week - Seriously ?
The irony is crippling ! PepsiCo has unleashed a public marketing campaign about Employee Appreciation Week to try and smother a wave of negative feedback from terminated employees. How can a company that is on an unprecedented insensitive employee... — read more
We lost some of our best
We lost a bundle of co-workers that had great capabilities to help us deliver the best results. I am a Sales Finance and FP&A IT former employee and from my perspective, our IT and back-office that were outsourced were best in class when it came to... — read more
Are employees with tenure safe?
I have 42 years with Pepsi and I am a sales rep. I am also 63 years old. Hoping to go to 65 but I worry every day that I will be part of the 2.3 billion dollar restructuring so that they can bring in some younger campus recruits or military... — read more
India IT is useless
It’s been almost a week since many of us could access our network share or gpid drives. Dealing with India is useless! Each day a new contractor tries the same exact method and same results. Nothing! What would take our former IT department 5... — read more
Things do get better
Good luck and God Bless to all affected. I was pushed aside in Feb and to be honest the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. Doing so much better in my new job. At least my work is appreciated and valued. I feel like an employee again and... — read more
We got to ask ourselves when is enough
I understand that “ It’s a job, it pays the bills” is basically the only reason that people give for staying at Pepsico. I also understand that It’s a scary world out there and finding a job is not the easiest thing, but when do we say enough is... — read more
The Grinch that stole our jobs!
Just when you think that this place could not get any lower...... They cut people's jobs a couple days after Christmas !! Way to go Scrooges Could not wait until the usual February
Looks like it's going down tomorrow...
Emails received at the end of the day to show up for a mandatory meeting tomorrow morning...
Hyderabad India...GBS - - truly a bunch of Gross Bull $h!t
more offshoring of jobs...1500-3000, "over many years" Wow, way to be transparent. So someone explain to us...are jobs in India cheaper because wages are way lower? Does India require employers to pay benefits: healthcare, retirement, etc? These... — read more
Wow Cheetos Now Taste Like @SS
I worked in Frito R&D 2 years ago. I was always somewhat against some of the innovation fails they put time and money into. Also, I was a proponent of not changing fundamental components for core products....(the PwP b—s—) I and soooo many... — read more
Life Now?
Got out of Pep around 8 months ago, used to work in IT. Have things finally settled down? Last I heard, Jody had been given the boot - is the outsourcing still a go? Miss some of the people I had the pleasure of working alongside.
ACCOUNTABILITY
PepsiCo leadership has lost the courage and intuitiveness do anything other than market dream strategies and tooth fairy promises. Now more “transformational” projects are announced. When was the last time any major project was successfully delivered... — read more
PepsiCo products and management are TOXIC
Yeah I hear more layoffs are on the horizon. Too much emphasis on offshoring and automation. All corporate and plant positions are not safe; as if they ever have been.
How much further do they think they can cut?
Who do they expect to do the work? They act like IT is completely unnecessary. Well, I can't wait for the day they figure out how wrong they were...
IT HUBs
Anyone have info on the status of the IT HUB roll-out ? Got real quiet but we were told plans are moving forward India HUB was to be completed this November. is this on track? Would be nice to know when those is us not in IT hubs will be let... — read more
Fleet Layoffs
What’s going on with the fleet side? Admins getting laid off across the nation...anyone else being eliminated?
What's the real story? How much production has been sent out of the country?
Looking on FaceBook there are TONS of complaints about their products - many have been remade to taste like cheap candy and some products like Instant Raisin and Spice Oatmeal and Puffed Wheat/Rice are just gone off all the shelves everywhere in the... — read more
Is Anyone Held Accountable?
Such a great example of toxic leadership in this company. By all measures, outsourcing is a significant miss. Business partners have made it crystal clear that IT service levels have dropped so far that the day-to-day processes are at continual risk... — read more
Not done with layoffs - trust me
After MANY years of dedication I was let go this week.
I think PepsiCo has given up on layoffs
Instead, they've decided to go the firing or "get them to quit" route. Lately, they just keep adding more work on our already overstuffed plates, bumping up the criticism levels and creating such a stressful environment that a lot of people simply... — read more
Outsourcing - The Beginning Of An End?
PepsiCo is learning that same lessons that Boeing is learning with outsourcing the 737 MAX Software build. You simply can’t apply assembly line mentality to IT managed services in this day and age. When misused, the outsourcing concept has two... — read more
