Having been replaced by an H1B, all I can say is that Musk started a conversation that none of the corporate elites wanted spoken aloud. Pepsi, along with many other companies, has been abusing H1B and offshoring laws for over a decade now... — read more 

There seems to be consensus that there will be no layoffs before the mid-Feb the earliest. That would be good. Gives us more time to back up.

It seems like this company makes you seem like a burden for being a straight white male… I’m just trying to do my work like the rest of you, sorry that you got featured on a LinkedIn post as a DEI warrior

This used to be a great workplace. When did it all go to he-l?

Costco is slated to make a major change to its food court soda offerings next year. The warehouse-based retailer is reportedly planning to drop Pepsi beverages from its soda fountains and replace them with Coca-Cola products. The changes can be... — read more

I haven’t been here long enough to know. Does PepsiCo usually lay people off around the holidays or at the start of the year?

I managed to find another job within weeks. Even pay is slightly better. So, my dear former colleagues, it may not be as bad outside as it seems. If they kick you out, there's a whole world out there. I wish you all the best, especially to those who... — read more

After 31 years, I submitted for the VRP. Not quite ready for full retirement but I can’t stomach another year watching the company company continue to pass me up for promotion and promote these unqualified and butt kissing people. I love myself too... — read more 

Things at PepsiCo have gotten so bad that it’s finally pushed me to take action. I’ve never been this motivated to look for a new job in my life. For the first time in years, I’m seriously putting in the effort to find something better, even if it... — read more 

Also painfully incompetent. Why do we need to deal with meaningless sentences and stupid words? Only because they sound cool and yet mean nothing in reality? Or because it’s the deflection tactics from a sh-tshow? We should get bonuses only for... — read more 

Are they going to share anything that is useful ever at all like ways of working, who’s who, plan to reset, realign?? All that is shared in the town hall is what music Athina and her directs are listening to, books they are reading, what podcasts... — read more 

Hear the GMAS and GM leads at Pepsi are next to be eliminated. True? Admins to report to sales manager

… and I quote, “We will realign the organization to position our anchor markets to accelerate category leadership, leverage One PepsiCo capabilities to support, and reduce costs to fuel growth and transformation. The operating model will be effective... — read more 

“In the meantime, HR is partnering with people managers to identify specific opportunities to address within various groups.” S&T layoffs inbound?

I wonder if they get a 1% raise and a third of their bonus this year like us minions do? Happy holidays for the front line and right after we get to deal with VRP and a reorg!! I love dealing with snow, high taxes and job insecurities constantly here... — read more 

That was about as serious as it gets. In other words that was a corporate “coming to Jesus” talk. Except major changes in Q1 of 2025. We’re not meeting our W4 financial numbers for sure!

I mean at this point I’m used to not being able to understand any of the carefully sorted out jargon they send to us. Looks like big layoff coming soon

Steven Willams promoted to CEO of North America over beverages and foods.

Heads up for those looking: There's a L09 Warehouse Site Leader (PAM) position that opened up in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Standard relocation eligible, too! Find it on the PEPjobs board.

Nor should you. Consider it a transitional job. While you are here, always be on the lookout for other jobs.

Obviously we are not doing great. However employee engagement is at an all time low imo (been here 3 years). Sh-tty holiday party in ny yesterday that nobody went to, people being denied travel + expenses left and right for conferences and events the... — read more 

I heard through the grapevine that senior leadership is deciding to cut back the bonuses for the 2024 year. They're blaming the 2024 company struggles as a reason for supporting the cut in bonuses. The SVP team will not be included in the cutback... — read more 

Just got a company email that VRP package is being offered to PFNA employees in Steven Williams organization (L01-Leadership) Guess rhr Q4 numbers continue to be bad. Ready for some Q1 layoffs in February??

Enjoy it with people you love and try to forget about everything else.

And many of us will comply because we need our jobs and it’s not exactly sunshine and flowers out there these days. So the tag war will probably escalate to all kinds of creatively stupid attrition tactics from Pepsico. At least that’s something they... — read more 

Rumors are all over the place in 2025. This may or may not relate to PepsiCo. To help reduce staff without using layoffs, major corporates will mandate back-to-work five days a week beginning next year. If mandated, let's see who stays and who... — read more 

I might just be paranoid, but that's how it feels. I'm getting less work and my main duty right now is to train the new guy. How fu---d am I?

Why do we work here? A one percent raise and about a third of our bonus? Time to move away from this toxic culture, doing 3 peoples jobs and no accountability.

Common theme the past couple years. Assuming it’s going to repeat? Anyone know how bad?

So in short, my experience was two-sided, working for BCD (alcohol company under Pepsi which was dissolved), then as a large format sales rep in the front-range of the west we will say. Coming in, especially around the start of 100 days of summer... — read more 

First year here. I know the company is doing very sh-tty. But for S&T do we get an EOY bonus? I’m not expecting anything but it would be nice

Mark my words when the economy improves, the first ones to jump ship will be Athina and G-yatri. Because there are no other takers for stupidity now other than Pepsico

what the heck just happened? No questions were answered! how are we supposed to determine our future here?! there is no way PepsiCo VPs dont know what will be happening to all Retail roles in 2025. They know, they just don't want to tell us. Because... — read more

There’s absolutely no room for career growth here. The hiring is a joke. Everything’s based on who you know, not what you can do. As a bonus, management couldn’t care less about employees and adds zero value. It’s infuriating to watch the company... — read more 

How I am understanding the layoffs is we are losing market share across all markets. Rather than try and fix it since it’s a brand problem gut the field and have the brand teams drive share. If it doesn’t work you will still expand your profit... — read more 

Is they any rumors out there of what plants may additionally be shut down ?? Or are they hoping to keep it a secret, so employees have NO time to prepare ??

What’s your experience with job search? When I first heard about layoffs potentially happening at this time, I started looking for another job just to make sure I have other options. It has been discouraging, frankly. Now that I was laid off, I’m... — read more
