Lots of us just waiting around to see what happens....

If they are cutting as many people that are rumored, can you imagine what the workload is going to be like for those that are left?

Anyone know if they bridge your bonus when they lay you off? Ie they pop you at the end of November, are you just out of luck on your March bonus? My gut says yeah, but don’t know for sure.

also heard if you are over 55 no severance, if you got below a 3 on PDR you are in trouble

How often do we really have to do this - it's nuts.

I'd say a lot, but who am I to judge, right? Sales meltdown continues, if this was me I'd be fired. https://www.bevnet.com/news/2017/pepsico-sees-beverage-sales-slip-q3

Is it really true that we may have job cuts in Purchase.
