Can people please stop telling others to move on to another job or shut up? There are those of us with very few options outside of our current employment who don't have the luxury of that choice. Some of us can't move for work due to family issues... — read more 

I was just reading IKN message again and it stated “These changes will have a direct impact on our global workforce, including less than 1% of our U.S. workforce”. I take this to mean there is a much greater impact outside of the U.S. I’m just... — read more 

Layoffs happen!!! Its not some big conspiracy against you personally. Every company goes through cost cutting from time to time and PepsoCo is no different. Im so tired of these woe is me posts on here. Put on your big boy pants and move on! PepsiCo... — read more 

Anyone have any insight as to whether field locations will be impacted? Everything I have heard so far has been primarily corporate offices.

Are we finally safe? Any chance that today's layoffs will take place strictly in Europe? After two days we've just had I think we deserve to be spared. I'm not sure I can take much more of this, to be completely honest. I'm in my late forties and I... — read more 

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that the whole "less than 1 percent" crap was just that - crap. Just from posts on this forum it is obvious that the number is much higher than 1,000. Any chance somebody knows what the final number of layoffs for the... — read more 

My heart goes out to all of you that received unfortunate news this week. But in reality you are the lucky ones; those of us who remain are stuck working for the soul-s---ing PepsiCo which is one of the most vile US corporations in modern history... — read more 

There are soooo many unnecessary fancy people down there, daydreaming and the only thing they care is fashion shows rather than business. They should go, nkt our frontier nor seasoned R&D folks!

Wondering why give front line bonuses simultaneously with layoffs? Because it's hard to justify letting go 1% of your workforce when you are receiving huge corporate tax breaks. How do you change those optics and justify the layoffs? Bingo! Front... — read more 

What is happening is awful. Many hard working people at all levels and ages are having their lives thrown into turmoil. Be supportive of each other. Some of the comments posted here are really harsh and unnecessarily unkind. I sincerely hope that all... — read more

I was one of those that was escorted out. I asked why, no answer could be provided other than: this was a very difficult decision. always was considered a top performer and brought the teams i worked with over the finish line in high rankings year... — read more 

Or does this feel like merger. Trim duplicate positions? Maybe Kraft Heinz is still in the hunt. Would make sense to layoff lots of R&D, IT, Banded Sales.

All the folks I know of being impacted had a bit of silver in their hair. Certainly, there were various ages. And it could just be that I am a bit older myself and therefore interact with an older crowd. Knowing that PepsiCo would love to rid itself... — read more 

Walmart did the same thing, announce small bonuses and immediately after that do a small PR release on layoffs. And they are hoping they can hide things in the age of social media - I think the leadership should be ashamed - they should treat the... — read more 

No one can argue that getting laid off is an extremely painful event for the person + family. On the other hand, this is capitalism. With its pros & cons. Everybody knows the rules of the game. Don’t think we can blame companies who operate under a... — read more

I see that some folks are posting about Frito Lay - we have a Frito Lay page here and it has no posts - let's move our discussion over there - here it is: &frito-lay or use the full address: https://www.thelayoff.com/frito-lay

I was let go a year ago from PepsiCo - they are just dumping salaries and may have no one left who knows how to run the business

I was fortunate to find another job with a great company a few months after I started working for Pepsi. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be treated like a piece of sh-- for 20 + years. Forced overtime 6 days a week and never knowing week to week... — read more 

Any idea about what is in store for folks in AMENA? Routers about regions getting merged is rife here.

Looks like it might be over after all. Anybody knows if yesterday was it?

So many good people have been wronged by the company this week. So many families on one income and young children are wondering what's next. I would love to see all of my colleagues and friends that "survive" band together and find new jobs because... — read more

Is it just me or is it eerily quiet at the office today? It's like people know more is coming and are afraid to start talking to each other. Isn't it sad what PepsiCo did to us? Even if there are no more layoffs today people's spirits have been... — read more 

I’d like to offer a supportive word of solace for those suffering this week. In my personal experience, leaving PEP and never looking back was the best thing for myself and my family. No company is perfect, but the threatening HR atmosphere and lack... — read more 

From what I was hearing by the end of working hours, we are far from done with this. Layoffs will most likely continue today and tomorrow. In my opinion, it would have been ten times easier on everybody if they finished this in one go. Prolonging it... — read more
