The hits keep coming, but this isn’t even rock bottom. Rumors are more losses in the pipeline. KFC is significant. Marriott was significant. 35 year Pepsi partners calling it quits is really bad PR for PEP and a major red flag. Poppi not going to save us. Alani not going to save us. Siete another bad purchase. If Ramon has his job through mid 2027 I’d be shocked. Ram needs to go as well. Reorg coming in next few weeks. If you think it can’t get worse, you are in for a big surprise. Outsourcing will continue, consolidation will continue, you will do more with less. You will not be rewarded with merit or bonus. Buckle down.

@ak let me guess - you’re in Mexico, India or Barcelona…go take another swig of the Kool-Aid!
All of this mess is because of cost cutting. Logically it follows the way out is more cost cutting.
I’m worried about Ramon. Is he going to be ok guys? He only makes $45,000,000 per year. Poor guy might be unemployed.
@ak ok, Ramon. Is the “not your fault” in the room with us now?
@am we likely won’t be that far off. At some point PEPNA will be sales/merch/marketing. All other functions 3rd party logistic partners.
If demand is fixed and the field makes zero impact, the logical move is to cut every US employee, ki-l DSD, and ship warehouse direct. Pure profit.
Stop blaming the corner office. North America’s mess belongs to the North Americants. Food service is bleeding out because of food service, full stop. This isn’t a Ram & Ramon issue... but Kalshi’s got Ramon out at -400. Do with that what you will.
@a4 we only wish a mutiny is allowed. We the employees escort these devils out. Ram, Athina, Ramon and their Indian cabal. Lock the doors until the board or Elliot delivers the coup de grace and pushes a complete ouster of entire leadership. Dissolve all entire s&t and audit the corruption at the top.
@ae a respectable organization wouldn’t do such a thing. But we’re not talking about one here. If it’s good for the shareholders it’s likely true.
Is it true that leaders are being asked to move any recognition events to next year? Mine is coming up and I got shorted on the last one due to Covid. Why would they do this?
They gave this once-great American company to a Spaniard, a Greek and a bunch of Indians to run it into the ground. Shame.
How could we have lost KFC!?!?!???? Just pathetic!!’
How can Ramon and Athina still be employed here?
OHS closes tomorrow. Don’t forget to waste your time filling out so it can be routed directly to the No one gives a fu-k department.
News should start dropping next week on reorganization
Not just the loss of a concept. The loss of faith in a 3 decade relationship for both Marriott and KFC.
