Thread regarding PepsiCo Inc. (Pepsi) layoffs

Pro tips for accomplished career?

PepsiCo has worked on the buddy system for as long as I can remember. Little clubs get formed and they fast track up the ladder. They also mysteriously move around just before major reorgs to avoid being cut. System has never been fair and equitable, never will be.

OP by @2rgd+17vdrzHN.
Many complain about the toxic company culture, so I wonder if it is even possible to build a career by playing fair. What is your advice how to advance based on your own competence rather than joining different circles?

Start networking. Unfortunately, promotions are based on who you know. I know of several senior managers at FLNA hiring people from his Boy Scout Troop, Soccer Club, Pub, etc........ All level 6 and higher.

Frito HQ in Plano is a perfect example of this dysfunctional behavior which earns it the title of being a Career Hospice. The place is filled with blatant examples of this "Old Boys/Frat House " environment. If you are not part of these cliques forget about any career progression.
