What happened to the threat about PepsiCo announcing that they will fire all LG1 and above who don't get vaccinated?
True layoff issue, and it is being silenced

I think anyone who had to get a shot would have been fired by now. I think it is L5 and up that have to have an unnecessary vaccine
Checking in to see if any LG1s on here got fired. How many are out there??
To those who think you have right to choose whether to get vaccination, companies have their right too on the vaccination status of their employees. If you are misfit here, just go and find a right employer that suit your needs. Everyone is dispensable, specially the unskilled ones with automation and robotics. And that'll create new jobs for another category of folks. Ones loss is another person's gain. Choose the right side for you...
Pepsi is working on a huge automation program. Guess who is it going to replace, those id--ts who are bailing and ones who are taking undue advantage by politicizing vaccination. If you are worried about injecting a chemical, are you saying you did not get your immunization as a kid? If you choose to go against science, you don't belong to this company whose products have science at its core. Click is ticking, no need of cheap labor, machines and robots can replace you...
So what does everyone think will happen? Is Pepsi going to stand by their word and fire executives for not getting vaccinated and deny the fact that vaccination doesn’t stop the spread anyway and ignore science with prior infection antibodies?
They’ll never be able to levy this policy on the frontline, will be DOA as just like Southwest, people will say f it. Lots of jobs out there.
John’s Hopkins, cdc, every country in the world, medical professionals, yep you know better. Keep using trash to support your ridiculous nonsense
The science says natural immunity is as good if not better than the vaccine. But that doesn’t support big pharma. Wake up people. We are being played!
The super angry guy that keeps posting (and often being deleted) yelling about how people who are unwilling to get vaccinated aren't needed at this company. How angry will you be when you have to do double duty with no extra pay to cover the jobs of people who get fired for not getting vaccinated?
We already can't fill jobs as it is. When people get fired for refusing vaccinations, it's going to be real bad.
To the id--t that demands me to inject a chemical into my body so that they can feel safe...
I am not endangering you or anyone. I have antibodies and am safer than you are with the vaccine.
Stop being selfish and demanding me to inject chemicals into my body to make you feel safe.
If you trust the government and trust the vaccine then you are safe once you get vaccinated.
To all you ID--TS who are resisting the Covid Vaccination, please just LEAVE PepsiCo. We don't need you and wee don't want you around. You endanger everyone around you, and you don't belong in this great company. I really am suprised that PepsiCo has even found you qualified enough to hire.
Pep isn't the only company doing mandates, most companies are. I think there's multiple reasons why, but the biggest just being that people should get vaccinated. I'm having a really hard time understanding why so many people are against this. Do you not want this pandemic to end? What right do you have endangering everyone around you? Completely selfish...
Don’t forget to take your vitamins - because mine don’t work unless you take yours.
The protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected.
This is a veiled restructuring for LG1+. Nothing else. If they truly cared about 'health' they wouldve mandated in the frontline population (which they wont do because they wouldnt be able to make & sell potato chips and soda very well any longer). Pepsico - you can do better and stand up for individual freedom and also the science that says natural immunity is in fact the most effective way. Why force a vax on someone who already has the best immunity per the data/science? Why are you leading by emotion and fear?
Get vaccinated. That simple. Many of you obviously don't understand vaccinations.
If it boils down to your job or the vaccine EVERYONE at Pepsi will get the damn vaccine.
Who's ready for the wave of job openings that come about when these mandates get pushed out into the field??? Who cares if someone already had it, we're following the science around here and it's crystal clear!
How many LG1+ will actually make a stand against this ridiculous policy, call it what it is, a headcount reduction plan going into year end.
Hello there, what are the odds of a severe infection from Covid that results in death, and what are the odds of an adverse event following vaccination? If you had a healthy 12 year old boy and research was already showing that their risk of heart issues after vaccination is HIGHER than risks from COVID, maybe you would second guess?
How are highly vaccinated areas doing right now? In theory it shouldn't be spreading much at all if rates are above 80% or higher.
"Children are at risk when adults act like children. Grow up and act responsibly. Get the Vaccination. LIVES ARE AT STAKE. "
Children are at risk when adults act like children. Grow up and act responsibly. Get the Vaccination. LIVES ARE AT STAKE.
I guess I will be getting tested until they let go of me once my role is fully at GBS. Pepsi is loving this, people will be fired and they won't have to pay out the severance packages for the ones they plan on letting go.
“Get the vaccine or get lost ... real simple!“
“...to protect the vaccinated workers from their unvaccinated coworkers...”
You can’t fix stupid.
Get the vaccine or get lost ... real simple!
LG1 here who posted about my unwillingness to get the vaccine a few days ago. Not political, as I have recovered from the virus and diligently tracked my antibodies. Why would I risk side effects when I arguably have better protection than the vaccine (that isn’t a vaccine as it doesn’t keep you from getting sick)? HR said get the jab or you are fired. Wonder why my original post was deleted.
Well now that Biden said he’s going to require that companies mandate vaccines or do weekly testing, should be interesting!
Funny there was another Vaccine post last night that is MIA today!! Censorship much?
This is not just a Pepsico landmine. This is a global landmine that could change the way lives are lead from here going forward. Corps that are trying to mandate a vax for EEs are at major risk of discrimination liability. This has not been vedded and will go to the Surpreme court in the near future. Sweep all political talking points aside. The major risk is the hidden, and quite frankly not reported on, is the hesidency in the minority communities. There is a deep, JUSTIFIED mistrust (Tuskegee experiment fear is real) of a Govt mandated vax which is less than 1yr proven out. Only 29% of AAs have been fully vaxxed to this point. 44% of Hispanic - 60% Caucasion - 72% Asian. With AAs making up the vast majority of hourly wages at manufacturing centers south of the mason-dixon line, Pepsico would be crippled beyond all repair to impliment a mandate on employees, particularly the AA community which would be the vast majority effected by such a move. Its interesting watching all companies position themselves here. No employer can be sued for Covid spread which has been challenged and upheld, but Corps are dipping their toes in the water via press releases to see what public sediment is. Its just reality right now, but I personally do not see the legal and moral justification to force a vax on current employees. New hires, thats a complete different story for another post.
"Ramon", nobody owes me a job. But this company can't legally fire me for not wanting to inject this chemical into my body. Big difference
when will they start requiring the flu shot or the shingles shot or any other vaccination? Is that coming next?
You don't want to get vaccinated? Fine. Nobody owes you a job. Get lost.
Rolling this to employees below LG1 will be su----e. They’re unable to fill positions to keep the business functioning properly as is, mandating the jab will cripple many locations.
They can go ahead and fire me. It's proven ineffective, that's why the vaccinated can still get covid and need boster shots.
I will not take the jab just to ease others fears.
Booster shot requirements coming next to maintain vaccination status, LG1+ Going to need to keep getting jabbed to maintain employment.
Interesting that my previous post was canceled. Who’s running this page? There’s no freedom of speech anymore.
Lg1 here, not getting vaxxed, already have robust antibodies from prior infection. They can keep deleting threads, still not getting one. They’re going to have to hand me a written termination notice, I’ll be waiting. Ton of years with this company, hate to see it end because of a big virtue signal based on feelings, not facts.
There are valid reasons to not get a vaccination besides just religion and health. A person has a right to chose to get vaccinated. A company does not have a right to mandate vaccinations.
I hope that LG1 and above who don't want to get vaccinated stand their ground and defend their rights. If enough do so, PepsiCo will have to back down or lose lots of great talent.
If all the impacted employees just bow down and get the vaccination, this will surely roll down to all salaried employees.
“...political rant thread”
Nonsense - bringing up the value of the vaccine for a person with high, confirmed antibodies is not political.
The Company force-feeding the vaccine to people in that situation via threat of their job IS flat out science denial, and political.
I have people on my team, along with coworkers in that exact situation. They present a far lower “Covid threat” than I do thru my vaccination. Some of them won’t be working here in two months.
Gone. Wow, I guess they take things out they don't like.
Same thing happens in China, the commies control the narrative. If they don't like something they take it down. We are just catching up to them.
it was a true layoff-related thread up until trolls hijacked it and turned into a political-rant thread.
