Every decision is second-guessed, every move questioned. You speak up? They don’t listen. Stay quiet? You’re invisible. It’s all control, no trust. Management isn’t guiding anyone. They’re just micromanaging us into burnout and calling it leadership... — read more 

We just heard at the town hall that Ramon and PepsiCo will not be moving to Cane Sugar because....I quote "Producing Corn Syrup is cheaper over Cane Sugar" Another example of $$ over health. Even when asked by Trump to remove Corn Syrup. Coke... — read more 

Growth is and has been stalled post covid? Weird, it’s almost like a global pandemic isn’t a sustainable business model.

I’ve been in Purchase HQ for 2 years full time as part of the campus hire program. It’s been he-l the past year, so much red tape and unnecessary governance as well as having to create so many “leadership updates” that impede real progress. I... — read more 

Anyone have details about Pepsi freezing pensions at the end of 2025 ?

Sales. I’m working to the point of collapsing. No time to think, let alone look for something better. Management makes sure we know cuts are always looming. I’m starting to believe it’s intentional - keep us exhausted, keep us afraid, and we’ll... — read more 

Looks like Athina is positioning herself as the next CEO. You can tell by how she’s aligning her inner circle—tight control, aggressive cleanup, and very visible moves. Interesting part? Santosh seems super confident he’s next in line for her... — read more 

Most of the people who actually knew how to lead have been pushed out over the last few years. What we’re left with now is a layer of folks just trying to look busy and avoid making any real calls. You can give feedback, but it goes nowhere... — read more 

Small pockets of people in HR quietly laid off in Europe with less than usual severance packages in the last few weeks. Does this mean we're next?

Some of the new hires can barely use a computer. If it doesn’t have a touchscreen, it might as well be a monster to them. Who the he-l are we hiring these days?

From another thread but said very well. The PBNA field team consists of some of the industry's top talent. If our competitors hired the top 50 ASMs from across PBNA, we would lose market share significantly faster due to systemic challenges... — read more

and leave this place for good. I haven’t had the courage to walk away before. A couple of months ago, I even turned down an offer. It wasn’t a big step up, and that’s the only excuse I can give. The truth? I’ve been here too long, and change is hard... — read more

Layoffs are coming in July. Is this confirmed or just a rumor still?

They’d be doing you a favor if they let you go. I was laid off last year. Now I’m working at a better company, with a better manager, better pay and benefits, and I actually feel appreciated. Yes, workplaces like that do exist. And yes, PepsiCo is... — read more 

Wondering if anyone from any of the 8 Gatorade facilities in the US checks this page? Is anyone experiencing a slow down in production? Any shutdowns or layoffs during the summer or lines not running? Things are feeling very sketchy.

Production plants shut down in Texas? Short term or ??

If we could grow unit sales on those two items and take a 33% rate hike we would have a growth business. Remember the days of .79 cent dew 20oz and .29 bags of chips? Go up to .89 and .39 and all of us double bonused on the year. The good ole days — read more

Hearing that DPA will be dissolved entering 2026. What will happen to their workforce?

My baby boomer manager still prints emails and complains about "kids these days," while rejecting any process improvement that involves technology newer than 2010. The irony is that his entire job could be automated with basic scripting, but good... — read more
