I am no financial analyst but why is it that the stock market is setting records all over the place today but the PepsiCo stock price is dropping?
More cuts….just in time to ruin everyone’s holiday
This morning we were informed, yet again, of more “restructuring. This round our division head was “leaving” as of…..tomorrow. Poof! After years of service….gone in 24 hours. Upper management did not give us a clear reason but we know the truth. This... — read more
PepsiCo forcing COVID vaccines
PepsiCo forcing all U.S. executives to get a COVID vaccine to keep their jobs by Oct 18. Disgusting way to get rid of good talent ahead of the actual layoffs. Let the lawsuits begin!
Yearly Dose of holiday offshoring 2021!
Holidays are right around the corner. We know one group effected so far, will it be payroll and other HR support functions this round with the AMESA CHRO coming over to North America? Time for another round of shifty GBS dodgeball!
What it took to see the light
I am a former employee who went through a round of interviews with various companies before I landed my current job. It was these interviews that made me question why I drank the company kool-aid for so long. But it was only after being gone for a... — read more
I just came here to get some experience
I never meant to stay here. Before I applied, I knew what kind of company it was and I did not intend to stay longer than half a year. It was enough for me to find another, better job. So, depending on how you look at it, this can also be good... — read more
Sept 23 CHGO CS moving to India
Just announced the entire department is being relocated to India. Last day for us is April 2. As a bonus, we are being required to train our foreign replacements. To add insult to injury, they had the good will to notify us of this change via a... — read more
There are currently more than 3k open positions at PepsiCo
Is this attrition at work or did they lay off too many people and are now trying to fix their mistake?
They take advantage of the fact that we have no other option
It would be a privilege and honor to work for a company that truly respects and values its employees. Working for PepsiCo is neither a privilege nor an honor. Of all the companies I’ve worked for so far, here I feel the most undervalued and squeezed... — read more
We need to talk about it openly
So many of us are willing to call out PepsiCo for its toxic culture in anonymity, but it is never discussed in the open. How do we expect anything to change? Until we're willing to start bringing attention to it and forcing those on top to... — read more
Nepotism
What's with all the nepotism at Pepsi? I have been here for a long time and I think there has never been more nepotism than now. Is it possible that it's always been here but now I suddenly notice it better or is it really more present now than ever? — read more
There are many reasons to leave, not just one.
I don't believe that many people will leave Pepsi because they refuse to receive the vaccine, but I do believe that in the coming period many people will leave Pepsi because of other things. Working in this company has never been harder for me... — read more
Layoff the experienced, promote the clueless.
Are these people that worked at the gap folding jeans a few years ago now getting all the money? Have you been on an L10+ sales meeting lately? The experienced are the grunts being lead by the overconfident jargon spouting clueless. This is a DSD... — read more
September layoffs
What's happening in September? Any details yet?
What Happened To The Big Project?
When I was cut a few years ago I was told that some people were being kept for this big super secret project? It was supposed to merge beverage and food systems and generate incredible cost savings. I heard people were being hand selected but I never... — read more
What happened to the COVID thread?
What happened to the threat about PepsiCo announcing that they will fire all LG1 and above who don't get vaccinated? True layoff issue, and it is being silenced
Pay is keeping me here
Yes, there are so many available jobs right now. What do they have in common? Cr-p pay. I've been checking out all available options and the best I could find was 20 percent below what I earn here. Maybe that's okay for some people but for me and my... — read more
I don't understand why I've hesitated for so long
Now that I try to remember, it’s not at all clear to me why I hesitated so long to start looking for a new job. It happens to many, I know, I'm just trying to figure out if it's fear of a new beginning, low self-esteem, a false belief that the grass... — read more
A coworker quit yesterday
I don't think I ever envied anybody as much as I did him at the moment he told me what he had done. He already has a new job lined up so his future is looking good. I've been looking for a few months but I'm yet to find something that works for me. I... — read more
PBNA R&D
I am on a relatively notorious team. I barely do any work and the management tell me I'm doing a good job. However, I still feel like my employment is endangered every day. The tasks we receive are ridiculous and outright ludicrous and nobody seems... — read more
When will Finance go GBS?
I heard 2022 is when all accounting/finance will be shipped out. is this accurate?
Are KAM positions on the chopping block?
I’ve heard rumors for a while that KAM positions will be phased out eventually. Is there any validity to those rumors?
Yearly Bonuses/Pay Raises
Curious to see what our pay raises will look like this year. We’ve had a phenomenal year across the board but I have a sneaky suspicion they will use some of the labor and supply chain challenges as an excuse to pay us minimally again. Last year I... — read more
Work from home
Should people who have jobs that can be done 100% from home be concerned that their job could be done from anywhere?
No regrets
I left after more than 15 years of service. There was a wonderful group of people I teamed with and it was such a pleasure to go into work. Then slowly all the talented people were being eliminated and it became a struggle to make it through the day... — read more
Will the Juice team go away?
With the recent news on all major news sites does this mean we will have another company do all of the leg work to develop our brands?
Entire consumer relations team in US fired today?
Hearing that the entire consumer relations team in Plano at HQ was fired today. Waiting for more info. What a garbage company.
How long did it take you to realize PepsiCo was not worth your respect?
I remember five years ago when I started working here, I was so excited. I couldn't believe I landed a position at PepsiCo, I thought I was so lucky. It took me about a year to become completely disillusioned and accept this place for what it truly... — read more
What people think of PepsiCo Vs. the reality?
If I hadn’t come to PepsiCo, I would have thought this company is great, that everything works just fine. If I hadn’t thought so, I would never have left my job at the old company and come here. Despite the fact that it is very easy to get... — read more
The best day at PepsiCo
Was that the day you came here or the day you gave notice that you were leaving? In my case there is not much of a dilemma. I had high hopes when I first came here, but now that I’m leaving I’m much happier. I finally got a new job, and I was... — read more
Accept smaller pay just to get out of here?
The only think more toxic than many of PepsiCo products are the politics and company culture. Irrespective of the pay, if one can find a more decent environment, get out now. Who can thrive in a tank full of sharks except others of the same stripe?... — read more
Will they ever take responsibility?
This company is most specific for its leadership, which is almost never willing to take responsibility. Employees are always to blame. When it doesn't work out - it's the employees' fault and they should be cut. When it goes well - then it is... — read more
Greener pastures
There are many who say that they found much better paid jobs after leaving PepsiCo and that the job market is much better now. Is that really true in most cases? How long have you been looking for a new job and how much are you getting paid more... — read more
Feedback at pepsi
Hello everyone. New here. My director during my last connect with him told me that I needed to be aware of how I was being perceived. When I asked for a specific example he said I can give you 5 and started going on how I was making others feel. He... — read more
Last Week at Pepsi
Next week is our last week. Half the team got lateral moves, the other half left the company. Is life better after Pepsi?
Question about transfers
I had asked my manager what the process was on transferring into another BU. He basically told me not to bother with the process because he wouldn’t approve it. Is there any way I can get a transfer without his authorization? If not then I will need... — read more
Going down the sewer
I’ve said it a few times to colleagues and I’m going to say it here. This company is heading to the bottom at a breakneck speed. It was a horrible ride and I’m glad to be hopping over to another well-recognized company known to have respect towards... — read more
