Hold on tight everyone. Wishing everyone well.

In the 2024 10K on page 50, the 2019 Productivity Plan was adjusted to end in 2030 vs 2024, and anticipated costs for layoffs increased from $3.65B to $6.15B. And they expect to spend $900M in 2025 as opposed to just over $700M in 2024.

Just wondering if this would reduce the amount of people layoff. The suspense is making me nervous.

Start looking for another job if you haven’t already. We know they discard people with ease and without much of a prior warning. I’ve been searching for other options and putting together a backup plan since the last larger layoffs. The economy... — read more

Hi. Anyone have 411 on these roles and what the restructuring looks like that keeps gettin thrown around in these roles? Either purchase, Plano or global markets? Thank you :-(

Global town hall tomorrow listed to be in nyc. Why not in your global HQ at purchase? Too scared to face your employees? Grow a pair of ba--s Ramon

Will Pepsi be outsourcing and other products to Niagara ?

Been sitting for three years on LTI to vest, and stock is $10 below grant price. What a mismanaged dumpster.

Grapevine rumor, but heard from an HQ Director who may have let too much loose that the TM role (reports to ZSL on the Frito side) are heavily at risk for elimination. Usually these roles have been bulletproof, but i would be prepared for some... — read more

Heard they are getting more strict about it like how other companies have and that they are going to start enforcing it starting next week. Anyone hear the same thing?

Heard some rumors

I received an offer, and while it’s not perfect, it would get me out of this place, which is my main goal right now. That said, if there’s a chance I’ll be laid off in the next few weeks or even months, I might hold off a bit longer and keep... — read more

Any news about potential layoffs effecting Talent Acquisition in PBNA, PFNA or Corporate?

Corporate offices... what do we think? I haven't heard anything, just rumors. Hearing massive "restructure" in S&T.

Anyone have true insights to bonus multiplier for Frito, PBNA, or corporate? Interested to know what’s to come in a month…

I’m guessing PepsiCo isn’t interested in end the DEI program. But if they did end the DEI and since the company is ran by India and other foreign personnel. Does that mean they don’t have to hire American born workers, since they are the minority?? — read more

Are pension contributions ending for the entire company or just new hires? And what happens to the money we have in our accounts? It sits there until retirement? I’m sorry for the stupid questions, I’m young and inexperienced with this.

Sure! Let’s renew AK’s sh-tty podcast right after one of the worst quarters of all time! This is a joke. She clearly can’t get her head out of her a$$. Board of directors has to do something…

What are we expecting?

Everyday I talk with another person who took the VRP. How many people took it and who will be left? Does leadership even care about the tribal knowledge leaving? This is crazy! On Feb 9th, this place will be a ghost town.

Can’t find another job. Stuck in S&T under AK and her incompetent leadership and d-mba-s subordinates. I dread every day that I log on, these projects are meaningless, I legit hate my life. Don’t think I can do this for much longer

Morale would skyrocket if we finally got rid of some of the a--holes who love to bully people AFTER taking credit for their work. PepsiCo needs more layoffs, only they have to be focused on managers, not the rest of us. You'd get a happier workforce... — read more
