I used to be proud to tell people where I worked. It felt like a company that actually cared about its people. Now it's unrecognizable.

It's pretty obvious that Ramon and his team have no clue what they are doing. It's only a matter of time before the company is broken up. Frito can probably be sold off to either Dow Chemical or DuPont since they are all Chemical companies.

Are a lot of people taking it? Anyone the it will offered again? What’s the Reorg look like after?

Good Job Team PEP, YTD Return for the Dow is positive 8.48%, S&P500 is positive 10.20% and the NASDAQ is positive 12.79% and then we have the big bloated hapless no-clue dinosaur PEP with a NEGATIVE 3% YTD return. The BS PowerPoint and... — read more

PepsiCo's problem isn't who's running it — it's the math of the industry it sits in. Packaged food and beverage is a mature, low-growth business: organic revenue creeps along at low-single digits while the S&P 500 compounds at roughly 10% a year... — read more
