Thread regarding PepsiCo Inc. (Pepsi) layoffs

Fortune Magazine says PEP CEOs Lost Focus

Ramon says it’s your execution.

Countless other articles point back to failed executive leadership

Ramon seems intent on self preservation and gaslighting his employees

One thing that is true is employees overwhelmingly believe executives are not providing a clear direction or have the right plans to improve business.

Now people are hoping they are the lucky ones to be given the severance package.

Ram now wants your feedback.

Ram - the analysts are correct, your people are defeated, and the plans are unclear.

PEPNA is a bad idea. PepsiCo has failed under vertical integration. We are are getting outmaneuvered by companies who can specialize and adapt. We are too big and carry way to many priorities. To many silos, to many internal obstacles.

It’s time to hand the keys over to operators.

Hope it happens soon.

@he we cannot collect because offshore Ibm collections cannot deliver. Plus sap has cost us big time and more in uncollected revenue.

@a1 Very true. Bills aren't being paid. Training isn't happening because people in India are not accessible or way too hard to understand. We've moved so much to Mexico and are down to a skeleton crew.

I find it amazing that Elliott apparently thinks that Ramon and his executive leadership team, the very people that have gotten PEP into trouble are going to be the ones to able to turn things around and save it. Ramon and his crew don't have a clue.

@ah what do we focus on first? If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. KO has laser focus on winning share on their core brands. We’re trying to figure out how how to skittle
A display with every product PepsiCo makes.

@a2 Elliott messed up. He should have demanded Ramon ram and AK walk the plank and move forward with seperation of bottling vs Frito.

Frito only thinks like a bully.. either their way or no way. That has cost us big time.

Time for Elliott to act is now.

Is it time for bottlers? Is Coke that much superior to us in the cola wars or is it a taste preference?

PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta knows that he has a cola problem. He said “we’re not competing well in soft drinks” on his third-quarter earnings call. And last week KFC said it will switch to Coca-Cola products at its 3,700 U.S. restaurants, ending a 40-year partnership.

Are there advantages for PepsiCo in being a diversified conglomerate versus a pure-play beverage brand? No doubt, especially as trends like GLP-1 use increase demand for healthier foods. The brown fizzy drink that spawned these two competitors is a small part of the overall beverage market. And PepsiCo remains a powerhouse of innovation, marketing and talent. What’s slipped since the heyday of the cola wars is focus.

I was stunned that Elliott did not get rid of the whole lot. It will cost them a lot of money.

Completely agree.

We have two seperate businesses which are best when seperate.

We now have a bloated Indian bureaucracy and impossible to get anything done
