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

As a Unit Manager I am offended. Small Bonus once a year. Over 60+ hours a week on call 24/7 have full P&L response ability. Route ride with SDL for a full day only to go back to the office to do my job. Frontline may think that we do nothing but... — read more

Think about it folks
Think about it folks...Why did Indra step down, abruptly in my opinion. Why is she leaving the board in "Early 2019"? Did you watch her town hall where she was visibly shaken talking about leaving PepsiCo. Now we have Al leaving and I highly doubt it... — 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
Seems like we waste a lot of time worrying about a lay-off. You leave Friday feeling good and go to bed Sunday feeling like everything is going to end Monday morning. If not for my pension I’d leave tomorrow. Anyone planning for a career at PepsiCo... — read more
