Apparently there is a big PepsiCo brand PR announcement tomorrow. Anyone know what it could be?

Is hiring for roles at the corporate office on some sort of a freeze? I was supposed to be a finalist for a position but am now being told the process is being paused. Any insight is greatly appreciated

Did the same design team work on these?

Execution is offshore. Accountability is onshore. Answers are expected instantly — from US leaders — even when the work is “handled” elsewhere. So if leadership asks a question and you don’t know because the team is offshore? That’s your problem... — read more

Hearing the next big move is in April, and it’s big news. I’m sure a someone knows more than I, please share.

Do you think they track us going to the office or not? What do you guys think/do?

Is there any chance we get a quiet week or two without nasty surprises?

I'm part of this middle-aged surplus they've created. I'm too young to retire and too old to feel like I can start over. The future I planned for my family (the security, the college funds, the stability) is gone. I feel like I've completely failed... — read more 

There is a lot of internal chatter regarding the decision to have the CSTO lead LATAM Foods while maintaining the S&T lead. With a direct report structure of nearly 30 people already, many are asking how this serves the business rather than just... — read more 

2026 looks to be another horrible year. 5 states removing soda from snap benefits, and more to come. Have you heard a plan to make that up, because I have not. No plan, no results, more layoffs.

It look a lot of Leadership, apathetic employees, meetings, PowerPoints, bad ideas and ineffective and incapable management to accomplish this ! # PEPPROUD

I really thought that I would have gotten the ax by now, but nope, I'm still here. Guess I have to up my game in 2026 and do even less if that's possible.

When layoffs become the sole tool for every problem, it shows management has no real plan. It's a clear sign of failure and desperation. I've started my job search, and you should too. There's no future here.

11 posts in a row with nothing really about layoffs. I made thru 25. I know there’s stuff brewing for 26, but I’m not sure how it’s all going shake out. AI and automation are going to play a big role in change. Just not sure what that looks like.

A teammate who got laid off in the last round spent weeks helping a new hire learn the job, showing him the ropes, answering questions, in essence, training the person who would take over. And then suddenly, she's gone, without warning. The new hire... — read more 

What's your prediction for next year?

Does everyone stick to the 3-4 days in office? Most people I’ve talked to do 2 days if anything - I think riding it out until more days become mandatory.

Especially at the top, where it’s dragging all of us down. All this misery is on them and their sh---y ways.

Many of the changes that are made are planned 12 years in advance. They are broken into smaller runs that lead up to the final piece. Instead of making everyone fear their jobs wondering who will get the ax next and creating an unsettling... — read more 

I know it’s probably not going to happen, but still. This year was exhausting, and I can only imagine what those who already lost their jobs are going through.

Thoughts? Any Pepsi layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Cutting roles that deal directly with clients and partners is especially short-sighted, but it won’t stop there. Even the so-called “mundane” jobs carry institutional knowledge that doesn’t show up on a spreadsheet. The idea that AI can just step in... — read more
