I hear about cuts all the time so I have become indifferent to rumors that layoffs are around the corner because here everyone can be sure of only one thing - that no one's job is safe. The main question is how to be productive in such an... — read more
Barrington closing!!
It is hard to get caught by surprise specially if your work location is closing. What % are relocating to Valhalla and Plano?
Half our team sent down the River
Last Friday half our team was told you are going to the new juice company. You no longer work for PepsiCo and you can’t apply for any jobs here for a year. Feeling Valued??? I think not.
Many are staying for severance
Out of many people I talked to, a sizable number is staying at PepsiCo only because they're hoping to be laid off. They want their severance instead of just walking out. I find it ironic that the company is so bad these days that employees are no... — read more
Org health survey results?
They sure spend a lot of time and money getting that website and how-to video set up!
No respect
PepsiCo seems to have lost any remaining respect for the people who do the actual work and we're now at the stage where the management has declared war on regular employees. They are laying off the best people, cutting benefits, refusing to give... — read more
They just don't know when enough is enough
At the beginning of the new year, I will prioritize looking for a new job. This doesn't make sense anymore. I get paid the same while actually doing work for 3 or even four people. They just don't stop adding more work to my plate and can't feel... — read more
Faster Stronger Better
Whenever they say Faster Stronger Better…. All I hear is LayOff LayOff LayOff
Too stressful working atmosphere
It's not worth the amount of money they're paying us.
Is it possible that a manager is afraid to manage?
We have a manager who is everything but the person who manages. Sometimes I think everything would work the same even without him. Given his previous experience, everyone is surprised that this person doesn’t manage much better. It dawned on me... — read more

Speak Up
Has anyone ever had success with the Speak Up hotline? Our warehouse is corrupt and the supervisors lie and cover for each other, so nothing gets resolved. I'm in Fort Smith.
PepsiCo Vaccine Mandate Question
How is PepsiCo dealing with employees in states with LAWS (apologies, but I don't want that overlooked) protecting them from mandates by means of allowing employees the option to vaccinate or test weekly, provide proof of antibodies, etc?
December Announcement?
Has anyone heard of any possible layoff announcements for December? This is the time of year for them to lay people off
Duck you and Duck Pepsico
Pepsico is run by wall street. You are run by pepsico. You either join it to improve the BRAND or to leech away at it’s revenue. Please leave if you’re the former and find what you’re good at. No judgement
Avoiding big companies
I used to work in a small company and I had a great time working there. I came to PepsiCo only because I thought I would have more opportunities to grow. However, it turned out that this was not the case. And I'm more than disappointed. Now I am... — read more
Totally insane
I have several years of experience in other companies. Wherever I started working, at least in the beginning, it was good and only later would things start to get complicated. It's different here. I have a feeling that the company wants to get rid of... — read more
There's a method to their madness
I often see people upset that PepsiCo is hiring soon after layoffs or even during a round of layoffs, but there's a good reason for that. They're not planning to keep any of those folks here long-term. They want to use them in the next restructuring... — read more
They can't keep anyone anymore
It is now very easy to guess whether a new employee will stay for a year or less. New hires on average I don’t think stay longer than that. Perhaps PepsiCo made a mistake with such a strategy, because I can understand that it is in their financial... — read more
religious exemption on vaccine
Now they mandate the vaccine, anyone know if religous exemption works in PepsiCo?
Working that Works Sham
Anyone see the email from Hugh? Treasury needs to start coming in every Wed oh and data shows that employees optimally should come to the office 2 to 3 days a week. What happened to working that works? Obviously people are not coming back into the... — read more
Planning teams in Chicago are being axed???
I saw that rumor here. Does anyone know if it is true?

More jobs going to Mexico and India
I see more and more people from Mexico and India on my calls and less and less US-based employees on them. A year ago I was completely sure that there was absolutely no way that my department (sales) could be part of the GBS costs because again... — read more
New hires are lost
Since they are hiring new, naive young people without much experience, so that they can squeeze them out as much as possible, then it would be necessary to make an effort to introduce these young new hires a little better to what their job will be... — read more
At least I won't be sorry...
I know of many who are cut in this company even though they were employees that any normal company would strive to keep. People who by their example motivated others to do better and do more... PepsiCo cut them without thinking twice about it. .. — read more
Job security
If you're looking for a place that has none, PepsiCo is your company. If you're looking for a place where you'll worry about layoffs every single day but at the same time pray to be laid off so you can get out of this mess, again, this is your place... — read more
UNVACCINATED TO BE LET GO?
What if you choose not to be vaccinated, can you be fired or will they severance you?
Why did they not offer relocation?
I don’t work at Barrington but I wonder why they didn’t offer relocation to employees? Strange.
Terrified of a severance
I have spent the last 10 years thinking I was going to be axed. I will be one. Its so lucrative I can't believe I was nervous. I am going to double dip on income for a year and then retire. Best thing to ever happen to me.
The worst job
This is the worst job I've ever had and the worst company I ever worked for and I can say that with conviction after only three months here. How did I end up in this mess? Nobody seems to know what I - or anybody else, for that matter - should be... — read more
GET OUT
Recently switched jobs. I hated working at pepsico (r&d) so much that I completely changed sectors, and let me tell you… I am so much more content and happy with what I’m doing on a daily basis. Tasks are clearer, expectations are clear, and there’s... — read more
Barrington Closing!
The writing was on the wall since who knows how long. Finally they pulled the trigger. Who is being let go??
I’m in MBS and I think that’s is bull**it what they are doing to US employees
In Mexico they try to sell it as “a great way to exchange cultures” and “maybe someone will take you guys to the US” I know it’s bu-----t, I’m earning way less doing this job from méxico (than the person who trained me) and I feel it for the US... — read more
People don’t know enough about PepsiCo
Before I came here, I thought this was a much “more serious” company than it is. I also heard some bad things, but I thought people were exaggerating. I don't think so anymore. Especially now, whoever is looking for a job here: either has no other... — read more
HR Leadership Oblivious to Great Resignation
Today's HR townhall shouldn't give anyone hope that PepsiCo might actually do something to retain talent and boost the employee experience. Complete denial that there is an issue...the great resignation is not a thing for leadership. Don't know about... — read more
Cutting people just before retirement
UGH! That's a new low, even for them! Cutting people who are about to retire. What kind of company cuts people who are counting the days before the retirement? The most loyal ones, who gave this company the most. I'm really upset. Couldn’t... — read more
Boss man got me friday
40+ years with the company. Comes down the hall and he tells me these three things you do, you already don’t do or are going away. I say so I’m getting fired and the rat tells me no no. Responsibilities are changing and I need you to do this job and... — read more
