Is there any way to volunteer for a layoff?
My manager keeps telling me not to worry, that I am safe from layoffs, but that's far from what I want.
I've been done with PepsiCo for a while, but I'm to scared to simply quit without some kind of a safety net.
If there was an option to volunteer, I'd take it in a second.
I doubt you can volunteer. When Frito was cutting jobs in Dec of 2016, I told my boss that I would take a severance package. However, that didn't happen, so the day after the re-org, I put in for retirement and left less than a month later. It would have been nice to get the 52weeks of severance and also save someone that may have gotten cut that didn't want to, but you know Frito...
Next org health survey just put down the link for this site. Management completely clueless as usual to how employees really feel.
In February, during the last slaughter, Jody Davids SVP confirmed that there would be no voluntary layoffs.
