Thread regarding PepsiCo Inc. (Pepsi) layoffs

Idea: Trim down Comms and Lobbyists

Here’s a thought … instead of laying off the supposed backbone of our company (frontline), why don’t they trim the massive fat across the hundreds of “Communications” people at PEP? Or marketing … because clearly that’s not working? Or those lobbyists in DC? I’m sure they’re all making 100K+ and probably work from home half the dang time!

Yep so many layers of fat to be cut at HQ. S&T, COE, layers upon layers of people who do WHAT? Scorecard anything and everything to justify having a job. Analyzing every minute of the day of field workers in DAy In The Life trackers…please! How many HQ employees does it take to sc--w in a lightbulb? There’s more “fat” there than on an arctic seal - there’s where to trim the fat & clear the swamp!

100k is what a delivery driver makes. These roles make 200K base out of college. You can always tell the difference of those who spend their life in the field vs corporate. Two completely different compensation grids.

They just got rid of the EVP for Comms and folded it under the general counsel - so some big savings there at least

If the goal is to move faster, they need to start with cutting some of the 8 layers of management that can't seem to get a damn thing done
