Shameful

PepsiCo just keeps sinking lower than I ever thought possible. It's not enough that best employees are shown the door or treated like crap in hopes that they'll leave on their own. No, to add salt to injury now we are all expected to train our own... — read more

PepsiCo/Kraft/Heinz????

Read an article yesterday that suggested Kraft/Heinz May be interested in buying PepsiCo. Not a new story of course. However, it makes sense. Bringing the companies together would mean greater buying power, synergies in distribution, sales, back... — read more

Millennials

All you snowflake Millennials complaining about the company trying build new revenue streams. Back when I started we took risks like expanding and merging. The company didn't exist so that you could pull a fat pension for clocking in and clocking... — read more

Made some questionable moves that have significantly impacted the business. After the reorg, the average age of the team went up! There is a bunch of 30+ year guys hanging on by a thread. Chilled warehousing is a mess and the senior director couldn’t... — read more 

Why do we keep acquiring?

PepsiCo is in trouble, people are getting laid off left and right, and yet we keep acquiring other companies, the he latest one being Bare Food. What's the point? I truly feel sorry for the poor workers of this company (and other companies) that has... — read more

PepsiCo Withdrawls Chicago Stock Exchange

Think about this for a moment. PepsiCo recently withdrew from the Dow and now they are withdrawing from the Chicago Stock Exchange. Could be to save money as they said. However, it’s been my belief that a merger is imminent. To me that’s a very real... — read more

Pepsico hates people

I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. I could not stand the way the company treated people - layoff after layoff. Also the ops VP wanted to outsource the entire warehouse function to a 3PL. He didn't even care that it was going to cost more money -... — read more 

100 Impacted in Plano

About 100 employees impacted in Plano as a result of moving work to North Carolina and India. S--- A$$ company. PepsiCo was once a great place to work and have a career. Now.... People just hang out waiting for the next layoff.

PepsiCo has no choice!

Am I the only one on planet Earth? Employees need to step away from the workforce mindset which is thinking that company's are looking out for their best interest. This company has always operated in an investors market. If this company has to layoff... — read more 

PepsiCo layoffs in July?

The only thing I am hearing is July. I might add that I’m not hearing a lot of people speak of that timeframe. Could be someone speculating without any real fact. At this point it’s anyones guess. The last I read, Indra signed up for $1B in... — read more

If you were laid off in February but your termination date is April, does it mean you claim employment until April?

Layoffs after earnings report?

Do we know anything about what we can expect from the earnings report? I'm seeing conflicting opinions online, but there is one thing everybody agrees on: if earnings fail to meet expectations, we can expect to see more layoffs. Which frankly makes... — read more

AMENA HQ

Any news about AMENA HQ closure? They closed the R&D and pruned the admins. With businesses suffering across AMENA and Dubai bring a very high cost location to pamper all the expats, is it inevitable that Dubai will be shut eventually?

Can I volunteer for a layoff?

Is there any way to volunteer for a layoff? My manager keeps telling me not to worry, that I am safe from layoffs, but that's far from what I want. I've been done with PepsiCo for a while, but I'm to scared to simply quit without some kind of a... — read more

I ran into this article recently, and while it's about IBM, it could just as much be about PepsiCo. Same methods are being used to phase out older and most experienced employees who make more. It's a good read to help realize that what's happening... — read more

Getting anything done near impossible since layoffs

I’m not sure if it’s the same way everywhere but I swear getting anything done at Frito-Lay HQ is near impossible since the layoff. People no longer care or take pride in doing their jobs and it doesn’t matter what your level is. Nope, I'm pretty... — read more

Why is PepsiCo run by HR?

It seems like every important decision is made by HR, compliance or legal. This company has very little creative input from its associates.

How many will be laid off if we are sold?

If you think this was bad, just imagine the carnage we'll see if PepsiCo is truly acquired by another company. Especially if there are a lot of similar positions that can be easily consolidated. Nobody in their right mind should be cheering on any... — read more
