Those of you saying that without a leadership change this won’t be a big deal. Steve Llewellyn‘s retirement was announced Friday. John Dean is coming to Frito US from Beverages. That’s probably the first domino. Since it’s PEPNA, that’s the US and... — read more 

Stepping away for a bit. Wishing good luck to everyone.

Email just came informing everyone to WFH! Check your inboxes.

If anything, the better you are at your job, the higher the odds you get cut. The only guiding principle has been the short-term bottom line. Not long-term stability, and definitely not some bold strategic vision. That would require effort. So brace... — read more 

This anxiety is ki-ling me. Not knowing what groups are affected or the rumored groups… someone has to know something…

Is there even a small chance that could be true?

Worried, and not really having any clue what is going to happen.

With all the uncertainty, my productivity was lower than ever. It wasn't even intentional, I just couldn't concentrate on work.

I see nothing has changed at the Great Blue Monster. Check in here occasionally to find out how many lives they are wrecking this year. Was caught up in 2022 layoff at PEP after 15 years when my department was offshored. The last 3.5 years are the... — read more 

Enjoy your weekend everyone and come Monday may the odds be ever in your favor! For the survivors make sure you add on at least 2 peoples work load to your overstuffed plate to help your work life balance! Toxic wasteland!!

I’ve got ideas but very little factual information. There are people that know what’s happening. So close now just spill it

will everyone be notified on the same day?

Why is it so hard to keep us properly informed about what's going on? Why do we have to guess and put together scenarios based on a sentence here and an email there? What does it cost them to be open with us? Even if it's bad news, it's always better... — read more 

I have not heard anything, just rumors. Does anyone have any info on how the landscape of S&T will change? Will DPA finally be eliminated for good? Dave’s org to be shrunken? D&AI???

Did anyone receive confirmation it’s the 8th? I am hearing potential demotions for people and complete reorgs

If it’s not in set stone writing by HR … how can they really even enforce this? Also do we know yet how managers will be getting reports of employees coming into the office? Is it by badge scans? By seeing if device is connected to building WiFi?

I’m from the FLNA side but not in sales… so can folks explain why today’s Steve Llewelyn retirement news and John Dean promotion is good or bad? The context would be so appreciated for those of us not in sales. Thanks y’all.

See Ram’s email? Rat’s are fleeing the sinking ship.

Layoffs confirmed by a senior leader at my plant that has majority experience in the corporate offices. They said it will impact a lot of corporate positions & may also impact some field roles. They said it’ll happen end of this week early next so... — read more 

I’ve had multiple senior leaders confirm this to me over the past couple days casting doubt over their own roles and my own. I know this doesn’t help, but prepare yourselves as best as you can over the course of the next week. Post any info you... — read more 

For once I don't think it's layoffs because they'd be happy to announce that given any opportunity. I'm not sure what it is instead though.

I really hope we find out soon what’s going on. I can’t afford to lose my job right now. It’s just one of those tough stretches. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.

I’m already getting cryptic comments in meetings and people are talking. If you hear anything before whatever change is coming next week, post it here!

If it really is next week. There’s too much chatter for it to be nothing. I’m dreading the worst-case scenario, because it feels like it could be a big one.

It’s here, go time. No guesses or speculation. What’s our organization going to look like at the end of next week and who’s impacted?

Not much to be thankful for, but at least we still have a job, right?

All indications suggest she will be appointed as the next CEO, what do you think of her?

Justice is coming back to US workers. But the dam age maybe too bad to recover from unless they start reversing statuses. https://www.newsweek.com/h-1b-visa-update-department-labor-americans-11104262

So every year we employees have to do “training” about the PepsiCo code of conduct. This is the first year in my many years as a Faithful employee where I have felt it is a performative joke. My senior leadership is very much violating said code of... — read more 

It’s not like this is the best company to work for, and most of us don’t even like our jobs. I’d love to switch myself. But honestly, I’m terrified of what’s out there right now. Jobs feel scarce, the cost of living keeps climbing, and so many of us... — read more 

I’m hearing December 1st, 8th, 15th, layoffs have already started, re-org is coming, 1NA is coming, sending jobs to Russia, sending jobs to Mexico, 3000 layoffs, he-l somebody even said 20%+ which would mean 60k+ employees and would be the biggest... — read more 

Duplication -will those roles be gone? Admins? Cashiers?

Just walked out of a meeting with a group of “leaders” — directors all the way up to VPs. Everyone’s going around the room giving intros, talking about their orgs, their priorities, the usual corporate spiel. Then it gets to this senior director... — read more
