All you snowflake Millennials complaining about the company trying build new revenue streams.
Back when I started we took risks like expanding and merging.
The company didn't exist so that you could pull a fat pension for clocking in and clocking out. This newest generation doesn't want to put in the work to make the company great.
You all just want to sit on your couches snacking on lays and the work of your elders.
Like tide pods challenge intelligent? Funniest thing I've read all day.
Yikes
Lol shut the f--- up you boomer. You had everything handed to you and your motto MINE MINE MINE. Most boomers would never survive if they started today, not a chance. They grew up when America was at the top and jobs were everywhere. Then idiots ruined the country by voting liberal and letting mass amounts of immigrants in who take jobs, cause yes SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE A REAL THING.
Guy who started this thread = boomer moron.
Heck, I'm pushing sixty and all I want to do is sit on my couch snacking on Lays and the work of my elders. The work of my elders is especially delicious. Though not as crunchy as Lays.
I started at a Pepsi franchise right out of high school. Entry level bottom of the barrel job. 35 years and 10 promotions later, and 5 franchise ownership changes, PepsiCo bought us, and my job was eliminated and I was severanced out. I blame no generation for that. Four years later I started at the bottom of Pepsi again. There will be no 10 promotions this time.
troll
Leftists are destroying the country and PEP.
You all should take this bs to another site or Dr Phil. This site is to share layoff info
Stop blaming each other as we are in this together
Ouch!!!! And BOOM Boomers!!!! We have seen generations of ineffective government and irresponsible spending. I do however see a turning point. Our young people are no different than young people of the past. They have dreams and hopes. But there is a difference. Young people today are far more tolerant to people that look and believe different than they do. This will be their strength and I’m so excited for the future as a result. Keep mind that not all of what past generations did was bad. Technological advances began with a Boomer, progressed with a Gen X and continues to expand faster and faster with each generation. Our young people will make their mark on the world. No doubt you’ll make your own mistakes and you’ll make your own progress. Looking forward to seeing what they do.
LOL, pension. They stopped providing pensions to new employees back in 2012. Millennials are getting the short end of the stick. Currently the baby boomers have left us with a crippling economic system (and that being the housing market) that can't sustain itself and will leave us with the debt while they happily retire with a lot of money and we can barely afford a crap shack.
I'm 40 and when I was born the gross debt-to-GDP ratio was about 35 percent. It’s roughly 103 percent now — and it keeps rising.
The boomers inherited a rich, dynamic country and have gradually bankrupted it.
Boomers habitually cut their own taxes and borrow money without any concern for future burdens.
Boomers spent virtually all our money and assets on themselves and in the process have left a financial disaster for their children.
The American Society of Civil Engineers thinks there’s something like a $4 trillion deficit in infrastructure in deferred maintenance
I’ve always seen the boomers as a generational trust-fund baby: They inherited a country they had no part in building, failed to appreciate it, and seized on all the benefits while leaving nothing behind. The irony is that boomers criticize millennials for being snowflakes, for being too driven by feelings. But the boomers are the first big feelings generation. They’re highly motivated by feelings and not persuaded by facts. And you can see this in their policies.
Take this whole fantasy about trickle-down economics. Maybe it was worth a shot, but it doesn’t work. We know it doesn’t work. The evidence is overwhelming. The experiment is over. And yet they’re still clinging to this dogma, and indeed the latest tax bill is the latest example of that.
Ok... we’re generalizing when we say all Millenials... I’m a 20+ year employee at PepsiCo and have seen some great people from all generations. Generations past built something truly great. It will be up the future generations to keep things progressing. To me, the real problem we are experiencing relates to stagnant leadership. Our top leaders need to either figure it out or step aside. The second issue is people are working in fear. Fear of losing their jobs. They just know they are next to go. Unfortunately, fear does not support a productive work environment. Seems to me our “leaders” have created the perfect storm. We were great in the past because we had loyalty. The times we are in now.... loyalty is a thing of the past. Get your paycheck and move on to the next company. It’s less about a generational gap and more about a leadership failure.
The older generation is what brought the company to what it is now. It's going to take Intelligent millennials and Gen X to get the company back to where it was...
