3-4 Days a week confirmed: Now what?

Your options: Complain online and eventually accept it knowing this WILL be 5 days a week eventually. Look for something that pays you more and works you less, with work from home. (Bring your friend with you - mass exodus numbers talk.) Fight it collectively with your Co-workers: Only work 8hrs a day, which is what you are ONLY paid for. (Prove their biased "work from the office" productivity claims are fake.) The average employee is losing 1 - 2 hours a days commuting. You aren't paid for that time. PepsiCo is closing to lose that productivity time by making you come in. Use your voice - we are in a cancel culture environment and fear of that makes change happen. If all that fails, revert back to #1 or #2

Pepsi: Get back into the office.

Also Pepsi: Move this work to remote/offshore.

What divisions, sector, or locations have had this confirmed

If you torture the data, it will confess.

"Those "studies" were a broad collection of data points which were not not Pepsi specific. I work in Bev Insights - people make the data say what they want it to say."

In the field, we were essential. We never got to work from home. The office people that did and HR were forced back long ago. Somehow corporate always get special treatment and perks and complain. Been 5 days for a long time now

The company is sitting on a bunch of real estate and associated expenses. Attempts to justify but such stupidity from a employee retention perspective.

Yes- eventually 5 day.

Was just announced in Chicago. What a joke. The imbeciles during the pandemic lockdowns cut the number of desks we can "hotel" at down to far less than the total number of employees who are based at the OPO. I can picture all 1300 employees showing up on the same day - with hundreds having to sit on the floor or in the break areas with their laptops. This is without a doubt the most poorly run major corporation. That they make so much money is a testament to the ruthless nature of its leadership - they will cut cut cut so much to cover up for their blatant mismanagement and posture to wall street how well run of a fortune 50 company it is.

Agree - the whole "studies prove people are more productive in the office" are very skewed.

If you have to watch your employees to make sure they work, you have the wrong employees to start with.
