What is the time frame to axe the GMAS and Leads? Will they offer admin roles to them?
R&D to GBS
And another department pushing to Mx and/or India..
More closings and layoffs
The more things change, the more they stay the same. PepsiCo closing Barrington research facility, laying off 78 employees and transferring more than 130... — read more
Overworked
After the layoffs, admin support moving to GBS, and not backfilling a colleague, I am so overworked. I recently attended a conference and discovered I have 2-3 times the workload as people in other companies. I have complained about my workload... — read more
Pepsico Violation Tracker - such a wonderful company. What a rap sheet !

In case this wasn't posted here before
A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The North... — read more
I would like to ask to be considered for a layoff
Indeed, I would love to be laid off. Besides, I think there are a lot of people in Pepsico who want the same thing? I'm too tired and too sick of this place, so it would be great to get paid to leave. Unfortunately, PepsiCo seems to be putting... — read more
If You had any doubts
If you had any doubts about whose side Pepsico is on. They are doing anything they can to help the pyscho maniac... — read more
any rumors out there?
Commodities and external pressures are out of control. Impossible to grow enough to solve for life. Pepsi is smart. They're going to react. Anyone hearing anything?
Career growth
It's devastating that I'm still in the same role I was in when I first started working here. I tried to make some career progress in a variety of ways. I worked hard, I did my best, all in vain. Has anyone here managed to make a significant career... — read more
No stability
I try not to worry in advance but I'm always thinking of other options. I don't believe there will be any layoffs for a while. Still, I don’t think my job is too secure either. I have seen many times what happened to people who thought they would not... — read more
Give PepsiCo what it deserves
For me, PepsiCo is the place where I get paid for putting in an average effort. That's it. It's not my family, it's not my owner, and it's not the type of employer that deserves my full attention. I'm here until I can find something better. Everybody... — read more

Feels like they're intentionally trying to ruin PepsiCo's reputation
Why did we have to be among the last major corporations to suspend business in Russia? We took an unnecessary hit to our reputation and for what? It's similar to suing farmers for growing potatoes that infringed on our patent a few years ago. Who... — read more
Pepsico always easily finds an excuse for layoffs
I hope we don't hear new excuse for new layoffs any time soon. Some colleagues are already spreading rumors that there are layoffs around the corner. I don’t believe in rumors, but it often happens to come true. Does anyone have any insights about... — read more
Pepsico still open and supporting Putin and his War
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-russia-mcdonalds-pepsico-boycotts/
No surprises
The only people who advance in the company are the corporate wonks who spout the company phrases. They can be completely oblivious to the area they are supposed to "lead" and their motivations are fueled by not getting into to trouble. PepsiCo's... — read more
Time to Boycott
It’s starting , time for these supposedly woke socially conscious companies to start walking their woke talk , otherwise they are seriously damaging their brand. PepsiCo is on the list. Their silence speaks... — read more
Russia is one of our key markets. We should still exit it.
So many companies have already made the right decision even if it hurt their bottom line to exit Russia. Other than it being morally the only choice we can make at this point, not doing it could bring us the kind of negative publicity that will haunt... — read more
Stop threatening you're going to quit when you know that's a lie
I'm tired of those who keep threatening they're going to quit and in 99% of cases, they're still here doing the same thing. If you're saying you're going to quit then do it already! If everybody who said they want to leave actually left, the... — read more
I'm so close to quitting
If our manager continues to bully people and HR continues to do nothing about it, I'll walk away. No notice, I just won't show up one day. Considering what I do and that there's nobody who can replace me on short notice, it'll be felt, trust me. I'm... — read more
Very physically demanding
I'm more busy than ever. I'm getting more and more to work to do and now it has become very physically demanding. I won't be able to sustain this pace for long but I need a job. Do you think there is any point in trying to talk openly about it with... — read more
There is money for everything except employees
I might be wrong but it seems to me that PepsiCo has money for everything except employees. Do you agree? You don't have to be a great expert to understand that money is being spent in a bad way. Sometimes I get really upset when I see what the... — read more
GBS- USA Level 2, GBS Level 6
My department was let go to GBS Mexico City last year. Most of the associates in my department were level 2 (the lowest level at Pepsi) yet the Mexico Team started as level 6. How is this possible?
Snoop Dog at the Super Bowl
Surely Pepsico could have found someone else to sponsor other than this low life criminal. How many times has he been arrested for dr-gs and g-ns ? His songs are all about violence. Now new allegations of ra-e and s-x trafficking. What is Pepsico... — read more
Great year! Wonder how that will translate..
into performance raises? Looking forward to a raise that doesn't even keep pace with the higher price to get a bag of our own products.
To them employees just machines for doing things.
Without any doubt, they see us only as an expense. Employees are no longer valued, respected nor paid enough. Loyalty is no longer important to anyone, moreover, it is no longer desirable. I don’t know when everything changed. I’m not saying it was... — read more
Everything more valued than merit
When I see who is getting promoted, it is both frustrating and depressing. Why do I have a feeling that everything here plays a greater role than merit? Why wouldn’t PepsiCo finally start promoting people who actually deserve it? What does that... — read more
PepsiCo equals nothing but lip service!!
Isn't it amazing all that we do here is smoke and mirrors? We have all of this training by all of these activists to make sure we act right in the workplace and tattle on those who don't act right!! We have all of these pronouns on our emails, zoom... — read more
Diversity Quotas Trump Competency
Over the past year I've seen a significant shift in hiring and promotions, where qualified candidates with years of experience are overlooked in favor of diversity hires with no experience in the subject matter. I've seen glorified IT project... — read more
Super Bowl
Is everyone ready for the Super Bowl? I hope all the stores within 25 miles are filled with PepsiCo products!
To leave is an economic necessity
I no longer have any doubts whether I should leave or not. I have to leave now. PepsiCo does not care at all about the purchasing power of its employees and whether some of them can still pay their bills with such high inflation. I am urgently... — read more
Do they want an employee or a robot?
I am worried that I might lose my job because lately I have been constantly criticized that I should do more, better, faster. From my point of view, the criticism is completely unfounded, because I doubt that anyone else in my position could be much... — read more
We obviously can't change anything here
People have to vent their frustrations somewhere, but in essence, can we really change anything by complaining? In the end, I just hope that our complaints will maybe help someone else make a decision whether to apply here or not.
I can't take it anymore
I have incomparably more work now than a year or two ago. They keep adding more to my plate and I’m facing a total burnout. I am looking for a new job and I hope to find it soon, because I will not be able to sustain this pace here for a long time... — read more
Promotion
I really can’t believe that hard work doesn’t pay off at all and that in the end only those who are favorites of their bosses are promoted. I don't want to believe that this is always the case, even though I haven't been able to get a promotion for a... — read more
No layoffs coming anytime soon
Too many jobs to fill as it is. Not enough people want to put up with the grind. LG1+ roles don't have enough bodies to fill. Sad day for the suits. Huge talent void as older generation leaves.
401k Question
I was let go last year. My severance just terminated but I found a job outside PepsiCo immediately. Should I leave my 401k with Pepsi? Move it to my new company? Too young to cash it out.
How big could these cuts be?
I mean the cuts everyone’s been talking about lately. Does anyone have any idea who the target groups might be?
