“They’re back. Delusional, chronically lying, totally out of touch, and absolutely convinced the whole world revolves around them.” “Let me guess… Tr*mp?” “No… Athina just pulled into the parking lot.”
Can the company help people that are bing laid off?
I know they have a program but what do you think are the "REAL" areas where they can help - I think more severance can help, maybe training and retraining and upskilling. resume writting, not sure what else. psych help too...
Pepsi Layoffs 2025
This thread is for info about potential Pepsi layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Just like that...
Just shipped out my laptop and accessories after accepting VRP. They certainly did teach us to travel light. And just like that, a lifetime with PepsiCo is in my rearview mirror.
Any rumors about next week?
We truly were ambushed by this round.
Cutting the wrong people
PepsiCo keeps trimming the muscle instead of the fat every single time. It’s no surprise the company’s in worse shape than ever.
Good luck to all who have been laid off
I hope you find better jobs soon. I’m secretly hoping to be laid off this round as well. I’ve been scared to leave on my own, to be completely honest. Existential concerns can be paralyzing. But I’ve been wanting to leave for a while now, and I’m... — read more
Early Retirement ?
Why are people commenting "Retirements lost" ? With plant closing, high seniority employees should be able to retire out....what am I missing ??
It’s not the end of the world
I haven't visited this board in a while but I've been reading about layoffs and that brought me back. I know these few weeks have been difficult for many. I remember the day I got the news I was laid off, I felt sick to my stomach. But it's been a... — read more
S&T Layoff next?
Obviously we know Athina doesn’t address her workforce whatsoever. But any rumors on S&T layoffs before EOY?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2024/10/28/pepsi-plant-closure-chicago/75902958007/
They were done a favor
Let's be real here. PepsiCo has been mismanaged and employees have been mistreated for years. I don't know a single person who left - be it on their own or laid off - who hasn't landed in a better position within a few months of leaving. I'm certain... — read more
So much for ‘no layoffs till the end of a year’...
And here I was hoping we can relax for a month or two. How naive of me.

Are people literally escorted out?
I'm new here but I'm having some trouble believing that people who are laid off are immediately escorted from the premises like common criminals. Is this really true? If it is, then the disrespect this company is showing toward its employees is... — read more

I’m hearing Monday for PBNA… any rumors for Frito?
Something big happening on Monday for PBNA from what I’m hearing but what about Frito?? Also when will the people in Purchase Palace ever be impacted???
This is exhausting
Are we ever going to see a time when layoffs aren’t constantly looming over us? It feels like job security has vanished into thin air. We've already had multiple rounds of layoffs this year, and there’s talk of more cuts coming. Is anyone else... — read more
Are we still leaning towards ‘no layoffs till the end of a year’?
Or are there any rumors to the contrary? I haven’t heard anything around here, which doesn’t have to mean anything. I certainly hope there will be no layoffs until next year. As much as I hate my job here, I still do not want to lose it. — read more
2024 Bonuses?
I heard that there will be no bonuses in March due to the lackluster performance this year. Anyone else heard anything about this?
S&T News?
Any major news for S&T that are being kept under wraps? Layoffs? Reorg? Just wondering, as I can confidently say out of the 5 companies I worked for that this is the biggest sh*tshow ever. It’s all talk and never anything actually being done. No... — read more
I'm debating between waiting to be laid off and quitting
If I'm laid off, I get severance and, in my state, unemployment. At the same time, I'll have to compete for jobs with others who have just been laid off - and there are certainly not many jobs available as it is. If I quit, I get nothing, but I'll... — read more

My new thoughts

Reorg surely must trigger some layoffs
And here I was hoping to have a couple of months to search for another job in peace and quiet. Any ideas as to how reorg will play out?
Ready for a change
Over 10 years at this company and many different roles. I’ve never seen it so bad. I thought I might retire here, but I don’t think I can make it much longer. Anyone else feel like the leadership is taking the wrong turns? It bothers me to see Ram... — read more

New Outsourcing End of the Year Projects Underway
King Ramon and Queen A. are the devils at PepsiCo. Just heard from a couple of people who are on the inside of the S&T transformation that new outsourcing projects have been initiated oo move more operations to our suppliers. Employees will... — read more
Feeling uneasy at work
I haven't been happy at PepsiCo for a while. I switched roles recently, hoping for a change, but things haven't improved at all. The lack of leadership is striking. It's like no one is interested in building connections, including my manager. There's... — read more
will S&T OHS be swept under the rug as usual?
I really hope people mention this in their OHS comments!! we're all complaining from the same things: toxic environment, shutting up any voice that doesn't blindly agree, pushing people to work beyond their breaking point and rewarding people who do... — read more

Hey Ramon - Another Quarter Earnings Miss (3rd 2024) for North America
Just got the email, PBNA missed the numbers again. Per Ramon, it's all about the headwinds of inflation squeezing consumer's wallets. Heard that the last two years. It's getting desperate and he's now going after his own people. And I quote from... — read more
Can we fire the board already?
The stock price has been stagnant for 2.5 years, PEC is a trainwreck, Ramon keeps getting bonuses and pay rises while the markets are burning furniture to keep the lights on. There is no clarity where to take the business while competitors are... — read more

S&T (Sh---y & Terrible)
Past 6 months have been horrible. Culture is toxic, days are getting longer and longer, and this “one S&T” reorg has been a dumpster fire and a half. We have people out here stretched so thin that they have to do a workload meant for 5 people and are... — read more
