What about that rumor that there will be reorgs after the Superbowl? Well, the Superbowl is finished and I don’t see anything happening. All quiet at my location. Any info on that, or did this turn out to be just a rumor that wasn't true?

Add c-appy Pepsi marketing to c-appy Pepsi innovation after watching the Superbowl Ads and Halftime show. Happy upcoming Valentine's m---acre to all!

GM is hiring in MI and OH...

The smart thing to do is ask for volunteers wishing to retire early and bridge then to retirement. I've heard a lot of people would sign-up if it was an option.

Let’s hope the company finally cleans house in the ole’ boys network. The place resembles Young and the Restless, not a world class manufacturing plant.

Do you have any updates?

Not sure about other teams and departments, but we have lost so many people already that I honestly have no idea how we'll function if we lose one more person. But does the management care? Of course not. We will be expected to pick up even more... — read more 

I've heard from very credible sources that a reorg is coming, likely after Superbowl. Got to make sure we have enough people to push through Superbowl then the ax will fall. Been told to avoid major project action items 2x2-3x1. Good luck everyone!... — read more 

Anyone know which offices, if any, are being closed? I’ve read IT will be heavily impacted. Anyone know about other functions... sales, marketing, finance, warehouse, etc?

With the layoffs last year some people got their retirements "bridged". What does this mean and at what age do they force retirement? Does anyone know or have experience with this?

I left on my own terms a few years ago and it was best thing I ever did. It was a tough decision but living/working with that fear that every year was your last year at a company you used to love was no way to go through life. I miss the people but I... — read more

I got laid off last year (Feb 14, 2018) and I can give you some of my feelings and experiences all along. I got a call on 2/14 morning that I was gone, by end of the day my access to the network was terminated, they gave me entire day to copy files... — read more 

This is horrible. I’ve been with the company 30 years and I always feel like I’m next to go. I am a valuable asset and they look at my like a cost. My age + years of service is 90, is that lucrative? This company is a sick psychological experiment

As a Unit Manager I am offended. Small Bonus once a year. Over 60+ hours a week on call 24/7 have full P&L response ability. Route ride with SDL for a full day only to go back to the office to do my job. Frontline may think that we do nothing but... — read more

Just heard big names in India are on their way out. HR boss, Ops boss, external affairs boss, insights boss and few more people down (all banded) are leaving in few days or weeks. Will have to wait for confirmations. Is the worst yet to come?

How much more money does he need to make? He’s filthy rich why deal with all the BS when you can love large and give your family every opportunity to enjoy life!

Most “born and bred” PepsiCo execs would have no idea how to operate on tight budgets.

This year has been really quiet on the subject of layoffs so far, which is for some reason making me even more nervous. Do we have any idea on when we can expect an announcement from PepsiCo management on more cuts? I'm pretty sure they are coming... — read more 

So I heard another crazy project code name that may reference some more outsourcing for IT today. Anyone heard of project Atlas? Guess we will find out when they have their first town hall in a few weeks. Anyone have any insight on this?

Think about it folks...Why did Indra step down, abruptly in my opinion. Why is she leaving the board in "Early 2019"? Did you watch her town hall where she was visibly shaken talking about leaving PepsiCo. Now we have Al leaving and I highly doubt it... — read more

Best career move that I was ever forced into. When my boss laid me off he said, “In less than a year you will be much better off and happier.” He was right. I was recruited by a better company, paid $50k more, and am not blocked by career execs. I... — read more

Any news on layoffs? When, where, which levels, which functions, how many?

This was an interesting article that raises the question of the business direction that the new company CEO is going to take. Will we see just an extension of practices an policies that were implemented by IN, or will we witness some changes in the... — read more 

They know who calls the speak up line. If you are considered a person who could potentially cause problems, you will be gone. Best advice: do not think for yourself in a corporate setting.

Seems like we waste a lot of time worrying about a lay-off. You leave Friday feeling good and go to bed Sunday feeling like everything is going to end Monday morning. If not for my pension I’d leave tomorrow. Anyone planning for a career at PepsiCo... — read more 

Does PepsiCo offer any other post-layoff services to its (former) employees? Maybe job counseling, retraining, or something like that? Or is that way too much to ask for from them?

The company culture is one that will retaliate if you speak up. A woman at Gatorade spoke up about marketing expenses being recorded inaccurately on purpose to hide excessive t&e and gift giving (direct code of conduct violations). HR “investigated”... — read more
