If you talk to your manager, they'll say you're safe. But in reality, India can do any of our jobs.
Has there been any layoffs this week so far?
Somebody mentioned we'd have a continuation of last week's layoff but so far nothing.

PEOPLE PLANNING
Hearing more head cuts coming across food service. Time to clean house apparently!!!
More jobs going to india
Announcements happening today. Second wave of sending more PBC administrative jobs to India. Great timing when we’re in a pandemic with lots of unemployment. Greedy, greedy, greedy.
GEO REPS
Is Pepsi going to cut more food service heads by making restaurant reps and rec and retail reps geo reps across the country? I hate to admit that it makes sense
LAYOFFS HAPPENNING IN FOOD SERVICE
Getting word that at least 12 food service reps and managers were laid off yesterday fraom the Cincinatti / Dayton Ohio region. Anyone have more info. Is this the beginning of what is to happen nationwide?

Capped at 26 weeks?
Does anyone know if your package is capped at 26 weeks, even if you have been with the company longer than 13 years?
Mother Teresa
PepsiCo pretends to be the Mother Teresa of the Corporate world. This BLM issue that has exploded is just another marketing gimmick for them
The Pepsi we all knew is gone.

PepsiCo has no choice but to restructure due to the COVID-19 crisis. I expect announcements will be made in the next two weeks.
Retirement
If you put in a retirement date but still have vacation do you have to take it or will they pay you for the time. I keep getting different answers from manager and HR
Demoted 2 Levels
Why would they demote someone two levels? They k–led it in the interview and couldn't do the job? Do they keep their salary?
Pay Scale List
You were able to download this list on mypepsico.com a few years ago. The pay scale from low to max ranges for all the levels. HR removed it. I have asked HR for a copy and claim they dont have it anymore. Do you know where I can get my hands on... — read more
