Ramon cleared $23,903,545 in 2025 while employees were left fighting for a 0.5% raise.

Not seeing any q1 earnings/town hall on calendars. Quick google search says 4/16 for the announcement. Any cuts/moves happening between now and then? Would think that they wait until after a reorient send it out in this case

Sector IT VP had one meeting tomorrow and one next week. Both got cancelled. Anyone knows anything about it?

You can push yourself as hard as you want, but the expectations just keep changing and you’re still left feeling like you missed the mark. And it’s not isolated, it’s the same story across multiple departments. It's astounding how much this place has... — read more 

Pepsi has moved to an extreme silo model, more so than ever. I believe this is what is really taking its toll on employees. From the front line to the directors, there is evident frustration across all levels. Not only do you have the customer... — read more 

Have most regions already started to get rid of the BCR role? Our facility is one of three that have not switched in our state yet, but it is coming sometime this year I heard.

Rumors flying!

The atmosphere changed after the layoffs became the norm and it hasn't come back. People are hesitant to speak up, to take initiative, and to trust. I keep waiting for things to feel normal again, but they never do. It's no surprise, though, since we... — read more 

I know of 2 people so far last week..any idea if this will keep going?

I thought I was done with PepsiCo, but apparently my former manager and his cohort aren’t done with me. They’re still dragging my name around. It takes a special kind of toxic to stay obsessed with someone who’s already gone. I feel so bad for all of... — read more 

They’re combining and eliminating some roles at the sites. Mainly in maintenance and quality from what I know. Maintenance planners is one.

We have VPs who can't manage and directors who can't direct. No wonder everything is so messed up.

Are layoffs coming in March?

Funny, I accidentally clicked into a layoff thread from 2019 and started reading. Didn’t realize it was old. The post very similar and relatable to today. It’s been bad for a long time.

Any intel when next wave of S&T layoffs across locations will be announced? Before Easter?

Some managers here know exactly what they're doing. They tear at you until you're too tired and too unsure to leave. They make you feel lucky to have the job so you'll keep accepting low pay and bad treatment. It's a strategy.

Supported you? Managed thoughtfully? Tried to understand people's strengths and assign work accordingly? Do they even fully understand what your team does? Mine might as well be from another planet. Great at office politics, useless at the actual... — read more 

The most dangerous thing about the current state of PepsiCo India I&O isn't just the bullying, the cheating on metrics, or the constant backbiting—it’s the fact that HR is completely missing in action. While leadership talks about "simplified... — read more 

Once upon a time, the biggest concern was the lack of ‘good for you’ products in the portfolio. Today, the biggest concern is the lack of good leaders in the organization. How is each function holding up, is there any hope?

I saw my regular check but no bonus.

Leadership is clearly not up to the task to turn this company around. Stock got a bump but regressed, NA volumes aren't working even with PPA investment and acquisitions, and we're getting the shaft with low team score and merit raises. At what point... — read more 

I’ve just completed my PDR review, and my manager mentioned that I need to increase my visibility with the SLT. This feedback seems to come up almost every year. It makes me wonder whether the issue is really about my visibility, or if there’s a lack... — read more 

Anyone know timing on bec/snack merge? Bev has GMAS -is that position eliminated? What about admins? So much work going to Mexico

We have so many people whose only job is making slides. Same information, different font, new graphics. They add nothing. Cut them all and we'd probably get more done without all the meetings about the slides.

Curious based on how bad foods and drinks bonus % are. How did corporate do?

Rumors that there will be layoffs next week in S&T…any idea which teams?? which locations?? Will there be a stay at home email? Tell us what you know pls

Same B.S. As Always!!! AK was more open than usual, Surprising! My Personal Favorite was the Slido Questions, happy to see a lot of us are on the same page, They Probably Won’t use this anonymous Q/A format again though…

Hearing rumors of layoffs in S&T next week? Can anyone validate?

It’s simply not worth it. Don’t let this mismanaged menagerie put you in the ground. While they shove more work and a 1% raise at you (while the CEO cleared nearly 30mm in 2024 per the 10k published). You’re doing time here that’s it. There is no... — read more 

I saw their Savvy scores. My MD told me a year ago that the VP down there staked his flag in the ground and said we will be great at Savvy. Lowest in the country. LOL. Get rid of that guy!

All of them are 2x income and in better financial condition. Karma got me on this one. My50% bonus no bueno.

Ram led a beverage turnaround, earned the credit, and was rewarded with a promotion and a massive pay increase. We delivered a beverage turnaround too—so why did we receive only 69% of our bonus target? At some point, we have to stand up and say:... — read more 

Just learned some director in R&D don’t even have a BS degree, is this the new PepsiCo Way?

So the leaders who were rewarded for delivering the 180 and 120 team scores will be fired for delivering a 64 and 50, right? Right? What a joke, if this were a Japanese run company they would have quit out of shame.

Constant layoffs, zero respect for staff, and a toxic culture throughout. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Any idea on what bonus and PDR raises will look like?
