#backup

I used to worry about losing this job all the time, but I've gradually stopped letting that control me. I've kept my resume current, built up skills outside my normal responsibilities and made sure I have options. These days I'm not trying to climb the ladder here anymore, I gave up on that. But if a layoff happens, I'll deal with it and move forward.

Don't wait to backup what you need from your laptop. Do it now.
Whether it's an email notification, a late breaking 15 min 1:1 appointment, or a candy gram... your laptop will lock-up within 60 secs of getting off that nasty zoom call.
Grab a thumb drive now and get key items you need backed up right away.
The alternative is worse. Ask me how I know.

I'm in my mid-30s, at around L9-L11 level, working in the field (sales/operations). Throughout my career, I've mostly received 3s and 4s on performance reviews and have relocated a few times for the company. I'm recently married and planning to start a family soon.

With the recent news of excellent people leaving this week amid the restructuring, I'm really worried. Is it still realistic to feel secure raising a family here at PepsiCo long-term, without constant fear of instability?

Do you trust the company's direction right now? I'm scared and seriously thinking it's time to start exploring backup plans.

Any advice or similar experiences from others in the field?
