I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. I could not stand the way the company treated people - layoff after layoff. Also the ops VP wanted to outsource the entire warehouse function to a 3PL. He didn't even care that it was going to cost more money -... — read more

https://chiefexecutive.net/pepsicos-ceo-chair-indra-nooyi-leading-company-new-heights/
PepsiCo has no choice!
Am I the only one on planet Earth? Employees need to step away from the workforce mindset which is thinking that company's are looking out for their best interest. This company has always operated in an investors market. If this company has to layoff... — read more
PepsiCo layoffs in July?
The only thing I am hearing is July. I might add that I’m not hearing a lot of people speak of that timeframe. Could be someone speculating without any real fact. At this point it’s anyones guess. The last I read, Indra signed up for $1B in... — read more
Layoff question
If you were laid off in February but your termination date is April, does it mean you claim employment until April?
Layoffs after earnings report?
Do we know anything about what we can expect from the earnings report? I'm seeing conflicting opinions online, but there is one thing everybody agrees on: if earnings fail to meet expectations, we can expect to see more layoffs. Which frankly makes... — read more
AMENA HQ
Any news about AMENA HQ closure? They closed the R&D and pruned the admins. With businesses suffering across AMENA and Dubai bring a very high cost location to pamper all the expats, is it inevitable that Dubai will be shut eventually?
Can I volunteer for a layoff?
Is there any way to volunteer for a layoff? My manager keeps telling me not to worry, that I am safe from layoffs, but that's far from what I want. I've been done with PepsiCo for a while, but I'm to scared to simply quit without some kind of a... — read more

Getting anything done near impossible since layoffs
I’m not sure if it’s the same way everywhere but I swear getting anything done at Frito-Lay HQ is near impossible since the layoff. People no longer care or take pride in doing their jobs and it doesn’t matter what your level is. Nope, I'm pretty... — read more
July Layoff
Hopefully it’s just noise but we are now hearing of additional layoffs coming this July. I don’t know anything more than that. Just a passing message from another employee. If it’s true, we should all be concerned. Not just about a layoff but the... — read more
Why is PepsiCo run by HR?
It seems like every important decision is made by HR, compliance or legal. This company has very little creative input from its associates.
How many will be laid off if we are sold?
If you think this was bad, just imagine the carnage we'll see if PepsiCo is truly acquired by another company. Especially if there are a lot of similar positions that can be easily consolidated. Nobody in their right mind should be cheering on any... — read more

What's going on with layoffs?
Any news?
The times they are a changing.....
Smartspend, cutbacks, zero budget for social activities, and minuscule yearly payrises. Let’s face it, PepsiCo is no longer a ‘great place to work’. For those already at a certain level there is no incentive to work hard. Lots of colleagues are... — read more

Time for a new CEO
