Already seeing a lot of changes in the banded population over the course of the last week. More to come next week, as I understand it. Everyone watch your back.

I am retired from the Gatorade plant and they lay off to do maintenance on their machines usually in the Fall. You can sign up to do maintenance with the maintenance department or get laid off. They also would love to lay off more people and use... — read more 

Our plant brings in hired grads from college.. lead guys have to train them how to do there job.. 18 months there gone... why not promote within and give employees something to look forward to.. not just get passed up by a 25 year old because they... — read more 

They're always having layoffs because of the decrease in demand. However, you need to understand that things are not as bad as they may seem on the surface - they always call their employees back well for the Quaker site it is like that I do believe... — read more 

Anybody else notice how many people have left Pepsico lately on their own, not due to layoffs? And I am talking about all levels, including management. What's going on? It's a little bit scary to see it happen, kind of looks like they are leaving the... — read more 

I'm sick and tired of the new performance pay system for RSR. They wave bonuses in front of our noses then set up basically unattainable goals so there isn't even a small chance to get even the same pay we used to get before the new system was... — read more 

Focus perhaps on FLNA based on the posts here on this page but as for IT - only thing that people are confirming is that open positions are not being filled (but then again there is a hiring freeze) - no one is saying that they have heard any layoffs... — read more 

Meanwhile the big focus in Plano is the stupid United Way campaign, managers harassing people, who are going to be laid off very shortly, to click the contribution link, not because they actually care about anyone, but so the managers can “check the... — read more 

If they are cutting as many people that are rumored, can you imagine what the workload is going to be like for those that are left?

Started with 10% but looks like much bigger. 70 rule applies and maybe under 3. All speculation at this point. Bumped from @PLPfDZr-9krr for info. If anybody can add to this, please do.

Anyone know if they bridge your bonus when they lay you off? Ie they pop you at the end of November, are you just out of luck on your March bonus? My gut says yeah, but don’t know for sure.

also heard if you are over 55 no severance, if you got below a 3 on PDR you are in trouble

How often do we really have to do this - it's nuts.

I'd say a lot, but who am I to judge, right? Sales meltdown continues, if this was me I'd be fired. https://www.bevnet.com/news/2017/pepsico-sees-beverage-sales-slip-q3

Is it really true that we may have job cuts in Purchase.

Here we go baby!!! Who's getting cut?

Was just told that layoffs will occur in large numbers just before Thanksgiving. You have to love that. Hit everyone right before the holidays. Has anybody else heard anything about this? It would be good to know if there is any credence to this... — read more 

Leadership within Pepsico has definitely been lacking. You only need to look at our CEO who believes she is somehow better than everyone else. The reality is, her focus on creating a lean company is the right thing to do. However, Indra has failed to... — read more 

After the restructure of operations 2 year ago in the field and headquarters Frito-Lay lost millions of $in productivity, as well as conversion. Frito-Lay lay managers ,are out of touch and not held accountable for the losses. Frito-Lay is in free... — read more 

No one gets a package anymore! They convert us to Cognizant employees and Cognizant dumps us through "benching"...a practice where they pay us to find another position at another account because you've trained someone in Chennai to do your job for... — read more 

This is long overdue. The vast majority of managers at Pepsi hired people merely so that they could justify their own jobs. What the higher levels of management did is still a mystery. One revelation for certain is that management existed merely to... — read more 

We continue to cut here -10% by November. I hear each department is being asked to cut 10% of expenses. I'm also hearing the 70 rule. Add your age to your years of service. The closer it gets to 70 the more likely it is you will get caught up in the... — read more 

Yep, I'm hearing pretty well substantiated rumors about a November action in Plano HQ also. November seems to be the date that gets repeated among employees who overheard or know something, and around the boards I've been checking. It would be nice... — read more 

Anyone know whether rumor about Chicago IT moving to Plano is true? Also rumor about cuts in Sept/Oct??

Every time a new vp/pres is announced we have layoffs. How many this time?

This would be good for the shareholders, just like Nelson Peltz was who lit a fire under Indra. There is still an unbelievable amount of non-value add BS to cut all around the Pepsico empire but the current management is blind to it and/or just... — read more
