I've seen this number circulated around this board and it popped up somewhere else as well, so now I'm starting to think there's something to it even if it does sound too high. Can it possibly be that PepsiCo is really getting ready to lay off that... — read more 

Good luck to them...I doubt they will stay more than 2 years, if they are smart they won’t

Everybody here is on edge today... People are snapping at each other over smallest things... If PepsiCo's goal was to create a hostile work environment for pretty much everybody here, job well done... Something tells me this will not change once the... — read more

I'm pretty sure that there is no doubt in anybody's mind that tomorrow will be a bloodbath across the board. I don't think anybody is safe from what's coming, from the rumors going around nearly every department and every location will be affected... — read more

The timing of these layoffs seem conveniently placed a month before next month's annual bonus / raise cycle. If someone gets laid off this week, will he/she not be offered the bonus money they deserve for 2017 PDR performance cycle? Also what will... — read more 

Anyone else hear the elimination of Chicago? Foods R&D now Plano and Beverage in NY.

Total psychological ploy by the senior leaders at this company. Seen it happen before, there is nothing new under the sun, plus I've read their playbook. LAYOFF RUMORS WERE PURPOSELY LEAKED. Not what do they get out of this? They want to incite... — read more

Have heard pepsi is beginning to carry tropicana products on their trucks soon. Are they planning on ending the tropicana dsd side of the business?

Have any prior layoffs been projected as far in advance as this one has? People have been talking about this for months. It's the worst kept "secret" I've ever seen.

Spend some time reading "Latest Posts" and you will discover that an almost identical scenario is playing out at corporations everywhere. Management and environment turned toxic. high stress seemingly done on purpose, etc, etc. And of course layoffs... — read more 

This is going to be a stressful weekend. If possible, try to relax. God bless.

I feel like I am waiting for the Priest to come to give me last rites and the Warden to bring me my last meal.

Strange that I do not see PepsiCo listed on the Texas layoff notices http://www.twc.state.tx.us/businesses/worker-adjustment-and-retra

I think 8 regions would align with Pepsi, and thats been a consistent theme since the 2012 layoff and before. IKNs vision of fully integrating all the lines of business to make the company less attractive to activist investors looking to break it off... — read more

I've heard they're setting up waterboarding stations with the Pepsi jingle and an Indra speech looping over a loudspeaker. Those that can withstand this for more than 20 to 30 minutes will get to keep their job.

This will be a lousy weekend, I know already. All I'll be able to think about will be what's going to happen next week and if I'll still have a job at the end of it. Waiting is sometimes worse than knowing, I think. Especially since we have seen from... — read more 

Focus on Feb 13, 14 and 15...

If you think any employee is an asset, you need to take a look at which column in the balance sheet payroll is under. The basic balance sheet equation is Assets-Liabilities=Equity. Here is a hint. Payroll is not under Assets or Equity.

There is an "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread - you can use it to see what posts had recent replies.

From what I have gathered from previous layoff rounds, everybody who is over 50 and those close to it are in biggest danger of being shown the door. It is sad but it is true. If you have earned a decent salary through hard work and long tenure... — read more 

Does anyone know which regions are getting cut? Heard FLNA is going to 10 regions.

Other companies are giving out bonuses and increasing benefits, like the matching 401K...and then there is Pepsico, giving out pink slips....
