What has happened to the culture in S&T? Teams that should be working together have become each other’s enemies. Instead of collaboration, it feels like constant internal politics, power struggles, and competition for credit.
It almost seems like Athina thrives on this drama rather than putting an end to it. Leaders in India and elsewhere appear to be encouraged to compete and fight against one another instead of working toward common goals.
For eg: Santosh’s Common Services organization seems to have its own agenda, with leaders focused on taking credit rather than recognizing collective contributions. Now, with the new FACES leadership in Dave’s org, there appears to be another round of drama brewing between that team and Santosh’s group.
When did S&T become a place where leaders compete against each other instead of working together? Where protecting territory and claiming credit matter more than delivering results?
PepsiCo used to be about collaboration, respect, and winning together. Now it feels like internal politics are tearing teams apart.
The real question is: Does senior leadership not see what is happening, or has this become the culture they are willing to tolerate?
Dave - dig deeper in your org, listen to ppl. Be careful with the sales force lead.
Santosh- stop playing games under Athina’s pressure
Stephanie- stop saying yes to everything Athina proposes
Jen- your team is falling apart.
Juan- come to work. Ur living room is not a place to work from .
