IT is a nightmare

This is horrible. I’ve been with the company 30 years and I always feel like I’m next to go. I am a valuable asset and they look at my like a cost. My age + years of service is 90, is that lucrative? This company is a sick psychological experiment

When can we expect more layoffs?

This year has been really quiet on the subject of layoffs so far, which is for some reason making me even more nervous. Do we have any idea on when we can expect an announcement from PepsiCo management on more cuts? I'm pretty sure they are coming... — read more

I got laid off in February

Best career move that I was ever forced into. When my boss laid me off he said, “In less than a year you will be much better off and happier.” He was right. I was recruited by a better company, paid $50k more, and am not blocked by career execs. I... — read more

Call speak up = get laid off

They know who calls the speak up line. If you are considered a person who could potentially cause problems, you will be gone. Best advice: do not think for yourself in a corporate setting.

We waste a lot of time worrying about layoffs

Other post-layoff services?

Does PepsiCo offer any other post-layoff services to its (former) employees? Maybe job counseling, retraining, or something like that? Or is that way too much to ask for from them?
