I'm sorry I wasn't laid off. As things stand now, I'll have to quit soon if I value my health, and that means no severance. This is messed up beyond words.

Opening a thread for discussion about the S&T townhall.

Major changes on my team in the org, anyone else’s?

Today’s earnings report does not bode well for Quaker and the US overall. Stand by for major announcements and massive changes to the business structure.

Heard we can expect layoffs well in September. It’s clear that it’s a numbers and favoritism game at this point with plenty of respected leaders walking out due to her poor management. The lack of communication and change management during this reorg... — read more 

Go….

Folks in the various S&T threads have already spoken to the insanity that is this "non-update update" pattern. I share all the sentiments, so to cut to the chase - has anyone observed additional cuts in the last week and/or heard anything new in the... — read more 

Corporate greed has completely taken over. At least there used to be some kind of a balance before, but that's long gone. There's truly no point in staying here with things being the way they are currently.

Starting to see new org charts roll out at PFNA. It really seems like the company continues to overcorrect with more and more senior leaders being female and POC. It’s blatantly obvious now that the white man has to future there. They’re slowly... — read more 

I saw the writing on the wall when I worked at FLNA HQ and they were so heavily pushing certain roles to move to GBS in Mexico. They’re going to slowly find ways to move more and more HQ/admin roles to GBS as time goes on. Makes total sense... — read more 

Do we know how many total were affected this week?

I think we need separate forum for Quaker, Pepsi, frito. It looks like only frito and Quaker are having layoffs and packages Pepsi hasn’t had any

PepsiCo has been unbearable to work for the last five years at least. I am not worried about layoffs one bit. I will gladly take a severance package to leave this dumpster fire. I'm honestly not sure why so many people are worried about this when it... — read more 

Cannot see anything in my news feed (the last one is from Forbes but it's about that Corp cut in 2022). Anything reported anywhere?

Has anyone heard anything about layoffs coming to PBNA?

Any update what teams are being impacted by this?

No layoffs as of now?

I know we aren’t supposed to be in the office through Thursday, but will most of the let go’s be done today & tomorrow for FLNA/QFNA? Just feeling uneasy & feel like it’s going to be a long week..

Email from Steve early this morning - “additional steps” this week to become a more agile organization. Asking HQ chicago and Dallas employees to work from home 🤞🏻

Changes to be announced. Layoffs likely. Wishing everyone the best outcome for their role. Stay strong friends.

This is the real deal PBNA. Especially the NASM roles. Most NASM positions will be eliminated, other NASM positions will move to KAM’s. The KAM role will also be changing, more responsibilities, bigger coverage zones while paying less. If you are... — read more 

Rumor has it the first of the chopping blocks starts on 3\22 for departments in North America!!

More empty update from Athina this morning. Seriously end of April before they finally make announcements...wow! Add to that empty update, HR is now requesting "role charter". Pretty sure "role charter" = role justification. If you haven't already... — read more 

Most recently 200 employees in KBS were LRd affecting control and finance departments, moving many of the positions to MBS and HBS. Ahead of the news being sent to the affected ones some senior leadership moved to global function roles. PwC finished... — read more 

Since the bombshell announcement of the S&T merger in November, employees have been left dangling in the wind. Promised clarity in January turned into another empty promise in February, and now whispers of April or May for "finalization" leave us... — read more 

See customer support. Anybody else so far?

Last day 31 may 2024

Just let us know we will have cuts in sales. Will continue thru March slow process

Anyone heard what the bonus payout will be? Hearing under 100??? for the year the company had really hope that is NOT the case again!!!

It's staggering how Athina remains blissfully detached from reality. Her lack of experience in managing a business of global reach and engaging with a vast workforce was glaringly evident during the S&T townhall. Her direct reports were blindsided... — read more 

What's happening with the mid-February layoffs people were talking about a few weeks ago?

I want to share my candid feedback regarding today's Townhall meeting for the S&T department. Unfortunately, what transpired left me feeling disheartened and disconnected from Athena and the senior leadership. No mention of Vikram or the head of IT... — read more
