As the February culling time-frame is getting closer and closer and more and more indicators point to a repeat performance, do we have any idea how many will be affected this year? Around a thousand once again? More? Less? It would be nice to have at... — read more 

After Mike Spanos announcement on reorg, things seems to have gone cold. Any news from there folks?

Regardless of what happens this week or next, this only the beginning. Rumors are that a team is being put into place to identify jobs/work across all functions (Marketing, HR, FInance, etc) that can either be outsourced or consolidated. Either more... — read more 

So, why did I put in 60 hours this week? Salaried, so no OT. Oh, that's right, loyalty to a company that had no loyalty to me. I guess i'm a glutton for punishment. Rooms are booked at HQ sites. The field (pepsi anyway) will be highly affected. Half... — read more 

In the midst of yet another round of layoffs, we have the continual growth of one of the most over-funded and worthless organizations in the company - Information Security. They just announced the hiring of a VP and Deputy Chief Information Security... — read more 

I'm sorry if this was asked and answered, but I couldn't find it on here. Do people still get their bonuses even if they are laid off a few weeks prior? Somebody in another thread mentioned that layoffs in February happen to avoid having to pay out... — read more 

Just heard through the grapevine about some market directors who are leaving the company effective today.

I get the general premise to merge and try to create the same, or better results with a lesser workforce and fewer tiers of management, but what are we talking about in terms of workes that will get RIF’ed? Certainly hope It’s not simple math... — read more 

apparently this is the code word used for the re-org. I also heard that they are taking away severance and offering jobs across the Atlantic ocean. you move or its over with no severance

It looks like Purchase HR has reserved conference rooms Wednesday February 20th

Or at least the week of February 14? Of all the days and weeks in the year, why exactly is this such a good period for cuts and reorganizations? What makes it so special? It almost feels intentional in its pettiness. Although, nothing really... — read more 

Rumor is the announcement will be Friday, Feb 15th. Eight regions will be merged into 4. Plano Region office is closing down and many of the directors in South Region have left or are moving to different positions. Some directors are retiring.

We’ve always worked a lot, but in the last couple of months, it has become unbearable. I don’t know if that’s a coincidence but with those extra loads of work came an inhuman treatment from our boss. When I think about what I go through and what... — read more 

One was an a--hole so I don't mind, but the other was a decent person. My main worry is why did they leave so abruptly. Do they know something we don't? It's been a while since the last layoffs round, so I wouldn't be surprised something was coming... — read more 

Just heard PwP has been dumped. Will impact RnD and other functions associated significantly. Keeping my fingers crossed for the moment

What about that rumor that there will be reorgs after the Superbowl? Well, the Superbowl is finished and I don’t see anything happening. All quiet at my location. Any info on that, or did this turn out to be just a rumor that wasn't true?

Add c-appy Pepsi marketing to c-appy Pepsi innovation after watching the Superbowl Ads and Halftime show. Happy upcoming Valentine's m---acre to all!

GM is hiring in MI and OH...

The smart thing to do is ask for volunteers wishing to retire early and bridge then to retirement. I've heard a lot of people would sign-up if it was an option.

Let’s hope the company finally cleans house in the ole’ boys network. The place resembles Young and the Restless, not a world class manufacturing plant.

Do you have any updates?

Not sure about other teams and departments, but we have lost so many people already that I honestly have no idea how we'll function if we lose one more person. But does the management care? Of course not. We will be expected to pick up even more... — read more 

I've heard from very credible sources that a reorg is coming, likely after Superbowl. Got to make sure we have enough people to push through Superbowl then the ax will fall. Been told to avoid major project action items 2x2-3x1. Good luck everyone!... — read more 

Anyone know which offices, if any, are being closed? I’ve read IT will be heavily impacted. Anyone know about other functions... sales, marketing, finance, warehouse, etc?

With the layoffs last year some people got their retirements "bridged". What does this mean and at what age do they force retirement? Does anyone know or have experience with this?

I left on my own terms a few years ago and it was best thing I ever did. It was a tough decision but living/working with that fear that every year was your last year at a company you used to love was no way to go through life. I miss the people but I... — read more 

I am going on 40 years with the company, hearing it is going to be ugly. I am in PES on the east coast and even other field service techs are hearing Pepsi is blowing up it’s team. The coke Guys I mean... The only thing I heard for certain is the... — read more 

I got laid off last year (Feb 14, 2018) and I can give you some of my feelings and experiences all along. I got a call on 2/14 morning that I was gone, by end of the day my access to the network was terminated, they gave me entire day to copy files... — read more 

This is horrible. I’ve been with the company 30 years and I always feel like I’m next to go. I am a valuable asset and they look at my like a cost. My age + years of service is 90, is that lucrative? This company is a sick psychological experiment

As a Unit Manager I am offended. Small Bonus once a year. Over 60+ hours a week on call 24/7 have full P&L response ability. Route ride with SDL for a full day only to go back to the office to do my job. Frontline may think that we do nothing but... — read more

Just heard big names in India are on their way out. HR boss, Ops boss, external affairs boss, insights boss and few more people down (all banded) are leaving in few days or weeks. Will have to wait for confirmations. Is the worst yet to come?

How much more money does he need to make? He’s filthy rich why deal with all the BS when you can love large and give your family every opportunity to enjoy life!

Most “born and bred” PepsiCo execs would have no idea how to operate on tight budgets.

This year has been really quiet on the subject of layoffs so far, which is for some reason making me even more nervous. Do we have any idea on when we can expect an announcement from PepsiCo management on more cuts? I'm pretty sure they are coming... — read more 

So I heard another crazy project code name that may reference some more outsourcing for IT today. Anyone heard of project Atlas? Guess we will find out when they have their first town hall in a few weeks. Anyone have any insight on this?

Think about it folks...Why did Indra step down, abruptly in my opinion. Why is she leaving the board in "Early 2019"? Did you watch her town hall where she was visibly shaken talking about leaving PepsiCo. Now we have Al leaving and I highly doubt it... — read more
