Anyone else having a hard time getting through this call. Is everyone so out of touch? Is anyone more comfortable now with our direction? What is our direction? Someone ask Viva Engage. I’m so confused.

@dm 100%. So many distractions for the employees at this point. How can we be manically focused with all the noise? We have failed leadership blaming execution. Even yesterday’s townhall seemed forced and Ram came off as unsure. Chatter and rumors all through the company and the news and we get a fake production and script reading.
I think morale needs to be addressed first. Go back to paying people instead of taking. They take your time by adding on so much additional work without additional pay. They took the company car. They took the GLP 1. No real merit increases for multiple years.
It is hard to get behind anything; failed reorgs, plans that don’t work because our processes are terrible, innovation pushes for bad products, and on and on. The news is terrible too. I get bombarded daily with seeing plant closings, business losses, analyst downgrades, all of the outside criticisms are just as loud as any internal messaging.
@bt The “merit” increases are tiny. The larger pay increases and promotions are reserved for their age-based selections without the contributions, business experience and knowledge. Gross inequities are one of the reasons for low morale. You earned the merit increase or even the promotion and it is given to one of their preselected age-based (gender, race etc.) selections.
Bureaucracy is real with all the tickets!!! Others are complaining about it too.
I don’t know guys. I think he was trying to address some of the culture issues by talking up the PEPNA team. Maybe this is my own problem but I’ve lost faith in any direction these people have. I am having a hard time with cutting benefits and the horrible merit increases. Also the bureaucracy, submitting everything via a ticket or whatever. They stood by and watched while the company is on fire and keep cutting corners still.
I really going to be upset if all of that extra marketing comes at the expense of our merit increases. They have money to fairly compensate us.
How about dedicating a whole video to celebrate the Food / Bev CDA securing a whopping…. 35 stores
Really having to reach deep in the bag at this point
John Dean is a strong leader. There’s no mention of PBUS leaders being highly regarded. I think they want us to know Herman Lay's crew is in good hands because they’re planning to cut us down with a hatchet. PBUS will remain steady, and there’s no need for anything flashy.
Curious what call was this?
I’m concerned if the direction to win is taking a significant cost increase, dumping an overwhelming amount of innovation through BOTS and hoping AI will make us more productive behind the computer.
@a3 love this useless Indian translated buzzwords... He did not state. Intimately maniacly obsessed
Even clowns know they have a business model. These useless brainless fake leadership have none.
Waste of time
Scripted nonsense. Why the sudden focus on Viva?
Our direction is to be maniacally obsessed!
