No displays up. Store is almost empty. I’m sure I’ll hear about how this location is the worst in the market for online service metrics. Looking forward to lunch, too—except virtually every restaurant within five miles serves Coke, so apparently I... — read more
Shut down transformation
Cut entire transformation group and anyone with transformation in their title Corporate sent all the salespeople could not sell there for instance, especially from foodservice
How can we save Pepsico?
we need less expensive peacock vanity projects coming from our Strategy & Transformation and more actual transformation, otherwise stock will be down 50% very soon! a new visionary CEO is long overdue!
Loses
What other big accounts will Pepsi lose this year or next? Picked up Subway and lost Costco, Marriott…what’s next?
Sharing Information
To all those requesting information be shared. That's NOT how business works. Legally they cannot share impacted work groups or reduction figures until after it settles down. To do otherwise would be stupid. I put up with it for 30+ years and... — read more
You’ve been warned
Pepsi employees, how does it feel to be publicly scolded by your CEO? C-suite has the right plans, employees su-k. Ramon fires public warning about imminent restructure and cost (employee) cuts. Have a great Friday and get to work! Also, don’t... — read more

PepsiCo raising prices on Doritos, Ruffles, SunChips and some sodas after recent cuts
Another bad move that will only accelerate PEP's decline and push consumers to private label https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/pepsico-raising-prices-doritos-ruffles-sunchips-some-sodas-after-recent-cuts
Ramon layoff ?
WRONG ON EVERY BIG CALL: THE RAMON RECORD Forget personality. Judge the decisions. CALL #1: Keep and integrate bottling. Dec 2025: refranchising "not under consideration." Oct 2026: "open to revisiting every option." Result: 10 months to reverse... — read more

Plano HQ layoffs
Well, how many of us are getting wiped out at Plano HQ?
Reasons for PepsiCo's Failure
1) CEO, Zero U.S. Operating Experience 2) Strategy & Transformation Officer, Zero Business Experience 3) 50% employee time spent on reporting the news to each other/powerpoint Get rid of these three, and see real results
Maybe They'll Come after PepsiCo. Clear house

Recruitment model flawed?

Layoff rumors first week of november
If true, who is the deep throat? I encourage everyone who hears a rumor to contact the speak up line and report who said what, when and where. Only HR and VP+ are likely under the tent. If roles were reversed there would be no mercy cast on you.
McKinsey model is coming in November

Ohs comments

Chobani
PepsiCo to buy Chobani Yogurts? Hearing deal is nearly done. Any one else heard this?
With layoffs looming, is next year to take the stock options?
Please don't drag me for this one. Sitting at $128.69. Seems like a great time to roll the dice on options.
As long as they don't start cutting our pay...
Some folks have been so conditioned by small or no raises, that they're at the point now where they comfort themselves by countering with the fact that at least we're not getting pay cuts. That's the level of sad that's hard to even comprehend.
