Lays offs across AMENA were confirmed by Mike Spanos on the last Townhall. Dec - Feb is the "implementation" date. What will be interesting is to see how the functions will change... And specifically, who in the functions will stay and who will be... — read more 

There is a clear buzz about impending downsizing coming up in December here. Any news from other parts of the world?

According to media, buying SodaStream was a bold move. Tend to disagree with that, more likely it was a move made out of fear of the predicted decline of the soft drinks market, so nothing bold or wise about that. I also don’t see sparkling water... — read more 

PepsiCo has always fired people AKA Layoffs. In the 25 years I was there it was great company because of the people not the management. I experienced 22 large layoffs in my 25 years. Always laying off people after 20 to 25 years except upper... — read more 

The website can provide Pepsi with your IP address. And remove posts they don't want that have accurate information. The bait you to reply and add posts to get the gossip and rumors that are going on around the office to properly handle internally... — read more 

Ramon was at Parkwood yesterday. You think he was there to determine the huge layoffs come November?

All, I have extremely reliable sources that claim the new CEO’s agenda has selling the chilled business and consolidating our portofio. I hear Q4 2018 or Q1 2019 for time frame. CDSD was first to go.

Seems like certain threads just disappear from time to time

Is it by seniority or the amount of money you make?

For the first time in months all is quiet. We are beginning to see investment for what we hope will be future growth and opportunity within PepsiCo. Hoping all is good with everyone. It sure would be nice to see us doing well again and for employees... — read more 

Nooyi, Laguarta... It's all the same. Those who believe something will change now are deluding themselves. Leave and don't look back. I know I'm still looking for a new job, the change at the top did nothing to change my mind. This is a sinking ship... — read more 

No matter how good you are, what your PDR scores are or who you know, the fear of a layoff affects everyone. A company that takes pride in being fun and embracing diversity will also walk you out on a moment’s notice. Has morale ever been this low?

Indra’s legacy will be that she was a failure, the board should have booted her years ago https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pepsico-investors-happy-ceo-indra-211000478.html?.tsrc=applewf

How many years before Pepsi realizes that entire operation needs to be consolidated and moved to White Plains and/orPlano?

They did a survey this year with select participants. This was to say they did survey and share with senior team and only had those participate who would reply kindly (fake) on culture, atmosphere, etc.

If layoffs occur in your office, region, location - speak with media. Be professional and respectful - share the TRUTH Ex- employees need to be honest on exit interview

Many people in my department including myself have interviewed for numerous positions throughout the company. None of us ever get the job no matter how good we interview. Feedback is always positive from the hiring managers. Is it possible we are not... — read more 

It seems like many good leaders have left the organization in the last couple months. What’s the main issue? It doesn’t seem like executive leadership is interested in retaining talent.

She wanted time to catch up with all the posts on thelayoff.com.

On the one hand, I'm celebrating. On the other, I don't know how to process this. What are your thoughts?

Of poor management who push the blame onto others and the scapegoat gets surprised during mid year "conversation".

Is trop dsd ending...pepsi is getting trop naked products so are they going to coexist with pepsi trying to steal trop dsd business?

That Pepsi is going to start closing plants and ship the products to a centralized warehouse. Then the products will be distributed from a state of the art warehouse. Corporate greed at its best!

Pepsi can not keep drivers bc the job is not worth the pay. 12-15 hours a day, handle 10,000-13,000 lbs of product a day 2 to 3 Times a day. No breaks, no lunches bc you would be out that much longer. Management and the company do not give a crap... — read more 

Mike Spanos almost confirmed what everybody was fearing. After the massacre in R&D, it is time for other functions to face music now and it is mentioned that this will be brutal. No firm dates as yet, but very likely in early August.

How does this company get away with not offering a severance if your job is moved to another state?? Seen this mentioned several times, wondering if there is somebody who can confirm if this is true or false from experience? I'm no fan of PepsiCo... — read more 

Heard CSC jobs being moved from Chicago to NY No severance Can someone confirm?

Heard this from a colleague, can it be true?

The company is filled with career directors who sit in the same positions for double digit years. Year in and year out, the company faces the same problems and these people cannot fix them. This is the definition of insanity. A company filled with... — read more 

Why not simply seek employment elsewhere? Like any corporation PepsiCo owes you nothing and they certainly don't care about you. It's a business that is looking out for the business. You are just a number in the cog. Best to stop whining... — read more 

AMENAs B2+population needs to be cut dramatically, and focus resources on actual top line growth & innovation. PepsiCo has become a financial company just living for the EPS and focusing on dividends. All the focus is on profit and not growth. What a... — read more 

I finally made the decision to leave. I'm really glad i did, PepsiCo has turned into a joke. Nepotism and b---s--- politics ran rampant. Frankly, I think that anybody who can should pack their bags right now and leave as well, before they are dragged... — read more 

The last round of layoffs in Winston Salem happened on 2/13 after the Q4 Forum. Seems reasonable to think there might layoffs happening tomorrow after the Q2 Forum??

It's happening very soon everywhere, every level, every location. We are f@cked. Q3 results this week, we will look good on Wall Street. Then they coming looking for heads to make Q4. It's so disgraceful that Wall Street does not dig deeper into IKN... — read more 

They follow the VP like scolded dogs. As long as you agree with the boss and celebrate the many accomplishments he takes credit for then you will be a valued employee.

Several leaders resigned. One gave 24 your notice. What makes the organization world class? I hear the words but never see the results but unhappy employees scared for their jobs. HR will ALWAYS run PepsiCo
