Thread regarding PepsiCo Inc. (Pepsi) layoffs

The top!

Can we talk about all the top leaders running GTM and transformation? Did you watch the townhall? The only respectful leader who presented was Anthony Cinterino! The RA-RA campaign they are trying to show house is just hysterical. PEPNA…can we talk about it? Is it actually working? Is Brad Jordan the person who should be running it with only having Frito experience? Does he need a package?

Rich Tompkins….should he be responsible for the downfall of S&D? What about his teams?

What about the Wade brothers? Brad and Sterlin, does everyone know they are brothers? How do we feel about brothers both being in VP roles. Looks like Brad does a good job and is respected. Sterlin was just a market director a few years ago and had the worst performing P&L. Now, all SDSS report to him. So, he is ultimately responsible for the Q4 mandates & AOP builds. Let’s see how they pan out. Take a look at the non-diversity on these teams.

Bring on the re-org and get it over with. Hearing it’s early November and is only focused on AFM. There is NO WAY that’s it.

Let’s see if RAM sends out a fair-well note in th coming days maybe the stock price will go up a few bucks.

Signed,
A guy who got let go in the last reorg after 23 years out of Texas and has a wife still slinging drinks out there.

Unfortunately we know how Pepsi the leadership. They su-k in a role and it is the worse performance in history. What do they do??? They get promoted and blame the issue on all the low level people not the one who is leading the operation. Sterling has a hot garbage and was a joke. All talk and no bite. He could not even walk the walk of what he talked.

@a2 not just many in the wrong roles, but way too many layers and levels. How many people in’s S&T, PGT, Nexus…so many layers with made up responsibilities & pseudo-importance!! A task that before MBS, PGT, GBS, S&T (and all the other alphabet soup departments created for self-aggrandizing) used to have 3 touch points from start to completion, now gets pin-balled around HQ, Mexican MBS and India and back, needing 100 steps, multiple rejections & approvals before being completed. Yep - sure is “faster better stronger” - complete folly. This company is choking on its self-imposed overcomplication. Axe 3/4 of the superfluous jobs at HQ, which are not needed & end the outsourcing/offshoring. This efficiency would do wonders. They purged US jobs, sent them to Mexico, it proved ineffective, requiring hiring of 10 MCCs to replace 1 US worker -that in no way was a good choice. The bloated roles and levels/depts at HQ need to go!

Sorry to hear you were let go. I didn’t catch the town hall, but it’s nice to know you can still enjoy the show. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Cheers!
