PepsiCo is laying off corporate employees as the company commits to millions of dollars in severance pay, restructuring, and 'relentlessly automating. This is not true. The truth is that theyre shipping those jobs to India. It just better politics to say that they are automating.

Outsourcing but not just to India. Sending US jobs overseas
It’s a feature, not a bug.
The USA will start looking more like a South American country in the next 25 years.
The elite don’t care about us peasants. And why would they?
In European companies or subsidiaries of American Co's , this was already a strategy more then a decade again. Further automation of these jobs and job content makes also these jobs in India and Poland in the longer term more expensive then a automation project. What rests is a coordination and supervising role , and these roles return locally.
Outsourcing absolutely majority of cause. A slap in the face to bettering the US and it’s citizens. And companies tolerate the horrific service these overseas outsourcing companies provide! That is what is even doubly mind blowing.
Has anyone heard anything about rebadging? I was rebadged a few years ago and lost my benefits and severance. Then I was benched by the vendor (removed from the Pepsi account) just before my 2 year contract was up and they provided 0% assistance in helping me find a new position or contract. Is Pepsi still using this cheap "lay-off" tactic?
Most companies are not returning jobs. Outsourcing to India, China, and Poland is a core business strategy in 2019. To maintain a low unemployment rate, merely rehire some Americans in temp roles without benefits and low wages. Lets go back to arguing over the wall or Putin, while American corporations are quietly eliminating the middle class.
Must be said also that other companies did this go to India exercise already 15 years ago , and that they are now already in the process of returning from India to the local market again
