I know of many who are cut in this company even though they were employees that any normal company would strive to keep. People who by their example motivated others to do better and do more... PepsiCo cut them without thinking twice about it.
I also always did the best I could, but, no more. I’ve only been working the bare minimum lately and nothing more. Doing so seems to be the only way people won't feel sorry for themselves later when they're on the cut list?

I made a 20+ year career in Plano doing the bare minimum while watching the over-achievers get cut and wonder why.
You're going to be outsourced / downsized / tossed like old milk, so you might as well relax. If you WFH, put it on autopilot and watch a streaming service, only answer things that are going to get loud. Ask for lots of tickets, that cuts down on the urgency a lot of time.. If the requestor has to do work they suddenly lose interest.
Let Pep stew in the poopsoup they've created for themselves. With price increases the way they are most Pep products will be cut out of people's diets as too luxurious anyway so there will be layoffs akimbo.
Agree with the lack of transparency and passive aggressive nature of IT. Very odd department. Steer clear of Plano.
In my department we had 90% college grads leave before one year on the job! Hello ! Anybody home upstairs ???
Being laid off last year, was the best thing that could have happened to me. Not only am I now making much more $$, but my stress level is down drastically and my quality of life couldn’t be better.
On top of that, I no longer feel guilty pushing diabetes on people for the benefit of the PepsiCo brass (aka rats).
These rats expect high performance yet dole out a stinking 1% raise to most of the front line. They rake in huge $$$ annually but cut employees at a moments notice - many tenured and high performing - only to replace them with woke recent college grads with little to no experience. This place is a festering sewer of misery. Looking forward to the thrill of giving my one weeks notice ( and that week is only to help the few coworkers I can tolerate) - which is more than they give most of us.
