I am out on extended leave. If I am out on leave on my forecasted last day is my severance paid to me? Also I am a disabled employee who was part of the December layoffs. Do not trust HR to ask. Please help!
Top 2023 employer?
I don't know what you all are complaining about cause for 3rd year in a row this place of employment is named top global employer and top employer in 23 countries. HAHAHAHA..if people only knew..
March 2023 restructure confirmed
Not sure if it includes layoffs but it does include restructure. Not enough admin work so that could mean cuts there
Severance paychecks not issued today?
Why didn’t severance paychecks go out today? It’s a payday, isn’t it? Anyone else have this issue?
The Layoffs truth...!
What they are NOT telling you... The previous round of layoffs sent jobs to India, this round Mexico. The same jobs are available, but only in Mexico. In order to collect a well earned severance package, some who were termed must remain employed... — read more
Valuable experience
PepsiCo drained my energy. All this time spent here I felt underpaid, overloaded and stressed out, but if nothing else, I hope that the experience here will help me get a better job. Did your experience here help you get a better opportunity... — read more

Goal…..by 2025, all admins eliminated. Restructure coming 2023 March
Executive Losses
Does anyone know if top tier execs were let go during this layoff? I see a lot of posts from impact jobs and departments, but nothing about the top earners. I worked for this poorly managed company for 20+ years before leaving. I've been through so... — read more
When they offer you a promotion at age 57.
So, I am able to retire. I was hoping for a severance package. I came into the meeting expecting to get the full severance option and they offered me a new job with increase responsibility, more pay but at the same band level. Do we have any move but... — read more

A company to avoid !
For more than 10 years now we have been decimated in IT approx every 2 years, with winter 2022 being a big one and this time affecting the whole business, they say they value people, their actions clearly say otherwise. It's turned the company from a... — read more
Worth it to stay in recruiting at Pepsi?
Recruiting for the company Pepsi currently is feels dishonest and “icky.” It’s impossible to paint the culture as the picture we’re expected to without straight up lying. I have another gig on the side— enough to stay afloat comfortably, but without... — read more
My morale is zero right now
I'm not laid off, so luckily, I have the luxury of looking for new opportunities while I still have a job. Perhaps this company thinks that the employees will now work harder than ever because of the pressure of the new cuts that some are already... — read more
Perhaps this was a much needed kick for most of us...
The experience of a person who was laid off earlier this year: Announcement was made March 8 and our last day was August 7, 2022. We had to train the Mexico replacements for 5 months if we wanted our package. We also had to sign a confidentiality... — read more
Customer Integration Center?
Anyone know of layoffs at Customer Integration Center? Are they outsourcing all jobs to Mexico?
It’s time to take action! Post layoff advice/tips thread
The time is now to take action. From the company update today, it seems like the dust has settled and the layoffs are more less over (At least for now). If you are able to put your emotions aside and see the situation as a problem that needs to be... — read more
Fired anyways..why work hard until termination in spring?
For those of you employed until next spring, how do you plan to navigate? I can’t be promoted, going to be replaced anyways, I’m going to stick to what projects I was working on before I was “fired” and push back on anything new…anyone else thought... — read more
Looks like we'll need a lot of luck to find a new job now
Finding out that I was laid off hit me hard. I don't think I will get many offers in the coming weeks. I'm already in a panic just thinking about it, although maybe there's no reason to panic? Unfortunately, the job market seems to be actually much... — read more
Totally demotivated
It's been clear to me for a while now that things can only get worse here. People are already talking about the next round. Cuts have become a constant and hard work is not valued here at all. So what's there to hope for and why make additional... — read more
Terrible damage
Some of the most capable and hard-working people were laid off. I am shocked because I think that no company that cares about its future cuts such employees. Instead they should be doing everything they can to retain them. I wonder if the... — read more
Too much work
I can't be the only one who knows their workload is about to double if not even triple after the dust settles on the latest layoffs. The work of my laid-off coworkers has to be done, and unless they hire replacements right away, I know those of us... — read more
Only want fresh college kids. Very hard to be promoted.
I have worked for PepsiCo fo many years. They get move or get rid of any mangers with no more than two years in one position. They always have hug layoffs to bring in grease blood when colleges let out or they graduate from college. They are cheap... — read more
Grass is greener
I was an IT person working for Pepsi in Florida and was laid off three years back…Reading here today it seems like they just did another round of layoffs. Don’t be sad or angry…The grass is definitely greener. Everyone in my group who was let go... — read more
3,000+ New Coke Drinkers, Plus Friends & Family
Next week we'll hear VP's hosting "All Hands" meetings trying to lull the remaining sheep into complacency until the next go-round, all while trying to sell the Pepsi as more than just another company. Wonder if that's a line item in their PDR... — read more
Jump ship after these layoffs?
I seem to have survived, but I'm lacking motivation and it's hard for me to focus on work. I lost excellent colleagues, as well as the little remaining trust I had in the leadership. How to be productive after all this, when people are already... — read more
Coping with the emotional impact of being cut
I never thought that my job was guaranteed, however, the notice still surprised me very negatively because I was giving 120% of myself and I somehow thought that I would survive, that my efforts would be valued. It is difficult to deal with the... — read more
More work for the rest of us
The latest layoffs have exacerbated an already bad situation. Throughout the past several years, I keep seeing teams get smaller and the work remains the same. This is not a sustainable way of doing business. It's only a matter of time before most of... — read more
Phase 1 complete, phase 2 will happen in February?
I heard this was just the start, does anyone know anything about phase 2?
Are the most talented ones actually the target?
I was quite shocked when I found out that some people were impacted for whom I would never have thought could be a target, considering their skills and knowledge. It is impossible to know for sure, but it seems that the criteria for targets are... — read more
Terminated while being considered for different role?
Im 50. My position was eliminated on Tuesday. During my Zoom session with line manager and HR I asked how my standing would fare with an active application for another role in PepsiCo. The HR rep Indicated that an individual had been identified. But... — read more
Longest week ever
I'm quite nervous about going into work tomorrow because I'm not sure what to expect. I hoped that the threat of layoffs would not last until the very end of the week, but it seems that more anxiety is to be endured.........
Don't expect any compassion!
After so many years of loyalty, investing huge efforts in this company, I am now laid off. I regret that I often put my work before my personal life and family. They don't care in the least whether you might lose your home, whether your children... — read more
Frito lay lay off
So we were told about our layoff through other employees not management. While we were laid off Human Resources said they couldn’t attend our meetings which seems totally wrong. Company preaches family but does the opposite.
What departments have been the most impacted so far? Is IT being offshored?
Does anyone know what teams/departments have been the most impacted? Especially in PBNA. I’ve heard a lot of IT teams are being let go and outsourced-is this true? And do you think more will be impacted
PepsiCo is an Evil Company
PepsiCo is an evil, evil company. People give their lives and their best years and they just discard them like trash. Age discrimination at its finest and they get away with it. Someone should stop them.
