I saw their Savvy scores. My MD told me a year ago that the VP down there staked his flag in the ground and said we will be great at Savvy. Lowest in the country. LOL. Get rid of that guy!

All of them are 2x income and in better financial condition. Karma got me on this one. My50% bonus no bueno.

Officially reached my breaking point after my performance review. Context: S&T L10, 4/5 on my performance review, and only a 0.6% raise but “the company is so excited for my growth this year!!!” I know the situation here and have treated it as a... — read more 

Ram led a beverage turnaround, earned the credit, and was rewarded with a promotion and a massive pay increase. We delivered a beverage turnaround too—so why did we receive only 69% of our bonus target? At some point, we have to stand up and say:... — read more 

Just learned some director in R&D don’t even have a BS degree, is this the new PepsiCo Way?

So the leaders who were rewarded for delivering the 180 and 120 team scores will be fired for delivering a 64 and 50, right? Right? What a joke, if this were a Japanese run company they would have quit out of shame.

Constant layoffs, zero respect for staff, and a toxic culture throughout. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Any idea on what bonus and PDR raises will look like?

Looks like Ramon is making all locations take down signage that says Frito-Lay to rebrand as PepsiCo Foods. He took our profits, might as well take our identity! Ramon doesn’t need more branding, he needs a therapist.

Looks lots of changes.

GL team! I am out! best of luck all.

Hearing rumblings of S&T cuts coming within the next 2 weeks. Any specific sectors/divisions? Assuming the DPA teams that were swept under the rug and consolidated under Dave will be first to go?

I'm at the point where a pay cut sounds very much worth it if it means leaving this toxic place. I can't take much more of this culture.

I’m expecting 105 PBUS and 95 FLUS. With all the changes, that’s one thing we should be able to count on.

Missed the first 20 minutes. Did I really miss anything of substance?

How about you all step up and actually be leaders. F*ck you and your buffaloes!

I was at Kroger today and saw two DSLs from different companies preparing for a grand opening. Hard to believe they weren’t the same person. HR must be close behind.

Things have calmed down quite a bit where I am, but I’ve had plenty of time to process what’s happened. I’ve seen some great leaders move on to big roles in other companies, and many have retired. They’re even taking my car. When we started, there... — read more 

Nobody’s talking about the February 12th announcement in Ram’s letter. Very cryptic. What is it?

"As of February 2026, PepsiCo is reducing suggested retail prices on some bags (e.g., from $4.99 down to $4.29) due to consumer pushback on high prices." C'mon, Frito people. How much does it take to make a bag of chips?

I just want to do my job. Is that really that much to ask for? No wonder the company is failing so spectacularly when everything but the work is a priority.

I miss when you could feel somewhat safe in your position. Layoffs were rare. Now it's constant. I just want that basic security back.
