Just a reminder to all of us during these uncertain times.

They must still be secretly working on stuff behind the curtain

I want to start this post by saying I am not trying to troll the site or stir anyone up. I simply want to share my insight as a former 24-year PepsiCo employee. I still have friends in the company, and I sometimes read the posts here to keep up with... — read more 

2 days into the ridiculous new Pepsi plan. 3 to go. Hey, how are we going to hit plan next year. I’ve got an idea that I think is great. Announcement goes out on Monday about a Reorg. Then let’s fire 15 to 20% of our employees, doesn’t matter if... — read more 

I’m sick to my stomach with this bullsh!t

My group took a hit today, and now I’m trying to figure out if those of us left standing are in the clear. I doubt they’d split cuts within the same team across multiple days, but no one has said anything official yet, so I’m guessing like everyone... — read more 

Changes expected through February 2026

Mississauga HQ associates were asked to wfh Monday-Tuesday. So it's all over at the end of the day today?

I've known this guy for over 20 years. He used to reply to my texts instantly, even on weekends. I know his family, etc. But now he's ghosted me and left me on read. I sent another note, and he ghosted again. How threatened are the higher-ups to... — read more

Even in the media. Nothing remotely concrete. It makes me wonder if the damage is going to be worse than we originally thought.

This is the weirdest layoff round I had to go through in my life, and I've been through more than a few. What the he-l is even happening? All we know is that some people are getting cut, but how many, where, when it will be done, or anything else is... — read more 

Checking to see how much change is happening

What’s happening today? I’m hearing very little. I know calls are taking place with some groups. Please share

Will this be the next move per pressure from Elliott?

The investor said PepsiCo is being hurt by a "lack of strategic clarity." Do you agree? https://share.google/ozB3fXLWDmuBn5x5r

PEP just chugging along with their failing "business as usual" strategy of ja--ing up prices, shrinking the bags, making the same old garbage and producing a negative YTD return while the market is positive 16% and hoping no one will notice. Well... — read more

Will layoffs affect offshoring in the context of it increasing or decreasing?

do a a quick google search, multiple articles released today. Feels like they are easing into what’s to come.

Who was laid off today? Which teams? Sales, warehouse closures, or corporate teams? I heard S&T is still afloat.

Corporate teams just spin papers, PowerPoint and wage a lot of time in meetings Look at all failed product launches, marketing initiatives, strategic bs, bad acquisitions. Yet its regions who have to pay the price

Commercial team today (immediate). Field sales teams tomorrow (future state). Need to right-size for the future. Q2 1NA launch on a large scale. @aq+1kbzgjt4w

I was hoping that whatever happens, it would be done in one day so we can move on. But with how little info we're getting and how slowly things are developing, it seems this will be a week-long affair, at least. I'm not looking forward to all the... — read more

Does anyone have ANY information on who will be affected?? Like teams/sectors?

Has anyone heard of who has been impacted as of this morning? All quiet on my end and I’m in a Corporate role.

Today’s S&T townhall was a masterclass in corporate spin. They bragged about “wins” and “momentum,” but flat-out refused to address the mess happening behind the scenes. Not a single word about the plants being shut down. No mention of the layoffs... — read more 

Looks like Pepsi has decided to go back to the region structure lol…
