Anyone see the email from Hugh? Treasury needs to start coming in every Wed oh and data shows that employees optimally should come to the office 2 to 3 days a week. What happened to working that works? Obviously people are not coming back into the... — read more

More jobs going to Mexico and India
I see more and more people from Mexico and India on my calls and less and less US-based employees on them. A year ago I was completely sure that there was absolutely no way that my department (sales) could be part of the GBS costs because again... — read more
New hires are lost
Since they are hiring new, naive young people without much experience, so that they can squeeze them out as much as possible, then it would be necessary to make an effort to introduce these young new hires a little better to what their job will be... — read more
At least I won't be sorry...
I know of many who are cut in this company even though they were employees that any normal company would strive to keep. People who by their example motivated others to do better and do more... PepsiCo cut them without thinking twice about it. .. — read more
Job security
If you're looking for a place that has none, PepsiCo is your company. If you're looking for a place where you'll worry about layoffs every single day but at the same time pray to be laid off so you can get out of this mess, again, this is your place... — read more
UNVACCINATED TO BE LET GO?
What if you choose not to be vaccinated, can you be fired or will they severance you?
Why did they not offer relocation?
I don’t work at Barrington but I wonder why they didn’t offer relocation to employees? Strange.
Terrified of a severance
I have spent the last 10 years thinking I was going to be axed. I will be one. Its so lucrative I can't believe I was nervous. I am going to double dip on income for a year and then retire. Best thing to ever happen to me.
The worst job
This is the worst job I've ever had and the worst company I ever worked for and I can say that with conviction after only three months here. How did I end up in this mess? Nobody seems to know what I - or anybody else, for that matter - should be... — read more
GET OUT
Recently switched jobs. I hated working at pepsico (r&d) so much that I completely changed sectors, and let me tell you… I am so much more content and happy with what I’m doing on a daily basis. Tasks are clearer, expectations are clear, and there’s... — read more
Barrington Closing!
The writing was on the wall since who knows how long. Finally they pulled the trigger. Who is being let go??
I’m in MBS and I think that’s is bull**it what they are doing to US employees
In Mexico they try to sell it as “a great way to exchange cultures” and “maybe someone will take you guys to the US” I know it’s bu-----t, I’m earning way less doing this job from méxico (than the person who trained me) and I feel it for the US... — read more
People don’t know enough about PepsiCo
Before I came here, I thought this was a much “more serious” company than it is. I also heard some bad things, but I thought people were exaggerating. I don't think so anymore. Especially now, whoever is looking for a job here: either has no other... — read more
HR Leadership Oblivious to Great Resignation
Today's HR townhall shouldn't give anyone hope that PepsiCo might actually do something to retain talent and boost the employee experience. Complete denial that there is an issue...the great resignation is not a thing for leadership. Don't know about... — read more
Cutting people just before retirement
UGH! That's a new low, even for them! Cutting people who are about to retire. What kind of company cuts people who are counting the days before the retirement? The most loyal ones, who gave this company the most. I'm really upset. Couldn’t... — read more
Boss man got me friday
40+ years with the company. Comes down the hall and he tells me these three things you do, you already don’t do or are going away. I say so I’m getting fired and the rat tells me no no. Responsibilities are changing and I need you to do this job and... — read more
Things that make you go hmmmm
I am no financial analyst but why is it that the stock market is setting records all over the place today but the PepsiCo stock price is dropping?
More cuts….just in time to ruin everyone’s holiday
This morning we were informed, yet again, of more “restructuring. This round our division head was “leaving” as of…..tomorrow. Poof! After years of service….gone in 24 hours. Upper management did not give us a clear reason but we know the truth. This... — read more
PepsiCo forcing COVID vaccines
PepsiCo forcing all U.S. executives to get a COVID vaccine to keep their jobs by Oct 18. Disgusting way to get rid of good talent ahead of the actual layoffs. Let the lawsuits begin!
Yearly Dose of holiday offshoring 2021!
Holidays are right around the corner. We know one group effected so far, will it be payroll and other HR support functions this round with the AMESA CHRO coming over to North America? Time for another round of shifty GBS dodgeball!
What it took to see the light
I am a former employee who went through a round of interviews with various companies before I landed my current job. It was these interviews that made me question why I drank the company kool-aid for so long. But it was only after being gone for a... — read more
I just came here to get some experience
I never meant to stay here. Before I applied, I knew what kind of company it was and I did not intend to stay longer than half a year. It was enough for me to find another, better job. So, depending on how you look at it, this can also be good... — read more
Sept 23 CHGO CS moving to India
Just announced the entire department is being relocated to India. Last day for us is April 2. As a bonus, we are being required to train our foreign replacements. To add insult to injury, they had the good will to notify us of this change via a... — read more
There are currently more than 3k open positions at PepsiCo
Is this attrition at work or did they lay off too many people and are now trying to fix their mistake?
They take advantage of the fact that we have no other option
It would be a privilege and honor to work for a company that truly respects and values its employees. Working for PepsiCo is neither a privilege nor an honor. Of all the companies I’ve worked for so far, here I feel the most undervalued and squeezed... — read more
We need to talk about it openly
So many of us are willing to call out PepsiCo for its toxic culture in anonymity, but it is never discussed in the open. How do we expect anything to change? Until we're willing to start bringing attention to it and forcing those on top to... — read more
Nepotism
What's with all the nepotism at Pepsi? I have been here for a long time and I think there has never been more nepotism than now. Is it possible that it's always been here but now I suddenly notice it better or is it really more present now than ever? — read more
There are many reasons to leave, not just one.
I don't believe that many people will leave Pepsi because they refuse to receive the vaccine, but I do believe that in the coming period many people will leave Pepsi because of other things. Working in this company has never been harder for me... — read more
Layoff the experienced, promote the clueless.
Are these people that worked at the gap folding jeans a few years ago now getting all the money? Have you been on an L10+ sales meeting lately? The experienced are the grunts being lead by the overconfident jargon spouting clueless. This is a DSD... — read more
September layoffs
What's happening in September? Any details yet?
What Happened To The Big Project?
When I was cut a few years ago I was told that some people were being kept for this big super secret project? It was supposed to merge beverage and food systems and generate incredible cost savings. I heard people were being hand selected but I never... — read more
What happened to the COVID thread?
What happened to the threat about PepsiCo announcing that they will fire all LG1 and above who don't get vaccinated? True layoff issue, and it is being silenced
Pay is keeping me here
Yes, there are so many available jobs right now. What do they have in common? Cr-p pay. I've been checking out all available options and the best I could find was 20 percent below what I earn here. Maybe that's okay for some people but for me and my... — read more
I don't understand why I've hesitated for so long
Now that I try to remember, it’s not at all clear to me why I hesitated so long to start looking for a new job. It happens to many, I know, I'm just trying to figure out if it's fear of a new beginning, low self-esteem, a false belief that the grass... — read more
A coworker quit yesterday
I don't think I ever envied anybody as much as I did him at the moment he told me what he had done. He already has a new job lined up so his future is looking good. I've been looking for a few months but I'm yet to find something that works for me. I... — read more
PBNA R&D
I am on a relatively notorious team. I barely do any work and the management tell me I'm doing a good job. However, I still feel like my employment is endangered every day. The tasks we receive are ridiculous and outright ludicrous and nobody seems... — read more
When will Finance go GBS?
I heard 2022 is when all accounting/finance will be shipped out. is this accurate?
Are KAM positions on the chopping block?
I’ve heard rumors for a while that KAM positions will be phased out eventually. Is there any validity to those rumors?
