Well, we need ideas. Our mismanagement has us in a predicament. PepsiCo has 9 billion $ in short term debt coming due soon in the next year. We’re probably going to refinance, but we aren’t in good shape due to the interest rate environment being so high. We will be in a deeper hole soon. We raised our payout to investors sharply because we had to in order to keep them around. Lots of our top execs are leaving and the insider stock sell off is getting noticed. Cash flow is good, but our sloppiness has us in a debt problem. Could you guys take a pay cut, lower ongoing pay compared to competitors, accelerated layoffs, handling workloads of 3 people, more internal inefficiencies due to our incompetence, or all of these combined? Please advise me. Investor payouts and cuts for exec leadership are off the table.

Years ago I would have put money on them realizing that purchasing the bottlers a decade ago was a bad idea, and they would spin off or franchise them out again. But no, now they are putting beverage and Frito on the same systems, got rid of the knowledgeable beverage leaders bc of 'redundancy.' they really think this can still work while investing as little as possible into modernization.
Incompetent leadership
Well you reap what you sow, PepsiCo has supported Democrat policies and kissed the backside of the Whitehouse during Covid!! Interest rates are high well that happened on day one of Sleepy Joe's regime!! Hope you all are happy with your votes!
