It’s kind of ironic how “regular” folks always pay the price of every reorg at Pepsi, while the ones that get us to the situation that we need reorganizing in the first place, or the ones that get “brilliant” ideas of how the company can become more efficient, always stay intact. I see much more good from a good reorg of the management, but that’s not gonna happen, is it?

Depends on how far your ladder goes down. Sales, delivery and warehouse will not be affected by any of this. This is all about outsourcing and Upper management being cut in half
Make no mistake, PepsiCo does not care about anyone. Worked 35 years given great reviews and received several awards for performance. The only thing I did wrong was belong to the wrong demographics. Don't trust anyone, especially the HR folks.
There’s plenty of managers and execs being let go too. The only ones that ate left untouched is the C-suite gang that make millions on their stock options because of the layoffs.
What a stupid thread. Stirring up A bunch of unnecessary field vs HQ drama, littered with “in my day, I used to crawl 5 miles to work through a foot of snow” kind of diatribes. I just wish I could downvote the OP more than once.
What rubbish. My most productive day is Friday when I work from home -- no time-wasting and debilitating commute, no distractions from the inane chatter of coworkers in the ridiculous "open office." And yeah, any day it snows I work from home. I'll be danged if I'm going to risk my neck just so people can watch me sit there all day with my face in the computer. God gave us VPN for a reason.
I hope we have less divisions and regions, then we can be less divided... oh wait...
We are all one family. Never forget that. Do not let them divide us.
Not for nothing but all our checks say Pepsico.. all this childish nonsense is pathetic who works harder .. I have done sales , ops and office work and not for nothing no job is easy you asses ! We all should stick together but again as all the wash women and men go at Pepsico and Frito lay you need to take a step back .. it’s the ones like the ceo making millions while sales get cut .... ops gets cut the some office folks get dumped on like all of us ! Just stop your bs you id--ts ..
agreed for some, but most just abuse it, lets be realistic.
Just because you are sitting in the office does NOT mean you are more productive
think you were talking about the same people. Corp/HQ based entitled employees. Frontline and the field is the most important part of the company anyway. if their were 8 inches of the snow on the ground in NY all offices would be empty. If it rains hard some people work from home its embarrassing.
Not sure what you're referencing in the comment "once office employees start showing up to work on Fridays...snow on the ground...hard working labor force..." I come to work with -55 degree weather, 8" snow on ground. I work 50+ hours a week and on holidays, during my vacation time, on weekends and work from home when sick - lest my workload pile up and be a mountain upon my return. I had 2 weeks vacation go unused in 2018 and one week in 2017 because I was working the job of 3 ppl and unable to use the vaca and holiday days I've earned. I work my behind off (and shame on me because there is little reward for doing so.) High performers get more work and low performers get moved up or on to another department in my experience/history. Local manager with B1 "works from home" all the time, poor communication and reaps the rewards of bonuses by delegation (taking the credit for others' work and passing the blame - the old "smoke and mirrors" trick) and this is known, but there's no accountability from their managers on their lack of management/communication and this M.O. This division's management is horrible. HORRIBLE. Yet they are retained while the worker bees sweat the bullets every February at "REORG." Be careful - Your view of the "work force" may be awefully skewed!
this one is a combo of both.. you cant go to 4 regions and keep all of the B1s and B2s and even some 3's. Many of their jobs will get wiped out and consolidated into larger roles. Will help sustain the good B1s and B2s by giving them the ability to move up and will help the company clear out weak talent @ all levels
Sadly this is the natural business cycle of large public corporations.
Maybe once office employees start showing up to work on Fridays, or when there's 1 inch of snow on the ground the company can start believing it has a hard working labor force that isnt trying to get out of work at any opportunity that they can
