I’m hearing that is the big announcement coming out this or next week.

There’s not nearly enough desks to support this full time. Tues-Thurs the office is pretty full and that’s a fraction of the people assigned to Purchase. Remember there’s 3 buildings into 1 now, pre-COVID.
@km+1jkxvzd50: Wrong thread, bruh.
You think that DEI hiring is not merit based ? The layoffs are worse, Ive seen some best performers and most experienced people let go for all the wrong reasons. It hurts the company in the long run. Treated like we are just numbers on the balance sheet.
Jamie Dimon gets it.
Love the office, sit around all day, chat with all my freinds, use company electrics and heat, free beverages, cant actually do any work too busy chatting!! Whats not to love...id do it 7 days a week if they want😁
"useless people, teams, managers, directors etc all going through the motions playing office, acting important and thinking they are fooling everyone."
Yep, that sounds like your typical in-office employee -- all performance and no substance.
The hope is people will not want to return to the office and quit on their own. No severance needed and it’s a cheap way to force out some of the workforce.
@eh+1jkxvzd50—Don't fool yourself. Reorg = Layoffs. Some will play politics, and those who do it well will be saved. Others will go out the door.
Heard it’s more of a reorg than layoffs. Most people will just have their role scope change slightly or different reporting structure
There will be plenty of seats in Plano at the end of the month because there are so many useless people, teams, managers, directors etc all going through the motions playing office, acting important and thinking they are fooling everyone.
@ec+1jkxvzd50 - It sounds like 1k people are about to be laid off.
There are 4k people in Plano and 3k seats. Explain that math.
Uh oh, the non-essentials are getting feisty again - might need an extra 15 on the nap later.
Trolling? Who did you hear this from??
Who are you all hearing this from? Haven’t heard anything about this as a HQ employee
Yes, 5 days a week. This has been planned for a while.
They were going to go to 4 days but are moving to 5 due to end of year numbers.
This is part of the strategy to reduce overhead in Purchase with the idea that people will elect to find employment elsewhere, rather than commute over the remainder of the year. Would expect the same in Chicago and Plano.
No chance this is true. Not enough desks.
To @ag+1jkxvzd50,
Then your job might not be a valuable as you think.
All I have to say is that when processes are review for value added to the PepsiCo bottom line, TIMWOODS.
Much work can be done from anywhere. Not all of us spend our days juggling bags and boxes. Get over it.
Look, I work in the field, and am at my site 5 days a week before/during/after Covid, and I share in the contempt many have for the WFHers hubbed in OPO/Chicago office (what I’m familiar with)…
Problem now is - where will you put them?
Of course, if Purge ‘25 is large enough, maybe the math works…
The work is out on the floor and out in the trade. Not at home.
And who did you hear that from? Generally speaking of course.
