The most dangerous thing about the current state of PepsiCo India I&O isn't just the bullying, the cheating on metrics, or the constant backbiting—it’s the fact that HR is completely missing in action. While leadership talks about "simplified structures" and "efficiency" for the 2026 fiscal year, the human element has been totally abandoned. HR has become a ghost department. When you report harassment or toxic behavior in the Infrastructure & Operations team, don't expect an investigation. Expect silence. Or worse, expect HR to suddenly reappear only to flip the script and make you the problem for speaking up.
They are no longer a resource; they are a shield for the bullies. By refusing to take action or even acknowledge the I&O culture, HR has essentially signaled that harassment is the "new norm" for survival during these layoffs.
To anyone still there: Don't look to HR for help. They’ve checked out. Document everything and protect yourself, because the "Performance with Purpose" slogan clearly doesn't apply to how they treat their own people in India.

I don't work their slave time and not available 24x7 or work during vacation days. I have called out the racist and Indian negative in 360.
Lord let me not get started with this Indian culture. Frankly I don't care. I tell it to them directly. They only promote their own.
They are useless beyond redemption. The leadership Indian of course has decided only people with iq are Indians. Every one else is their slave.
@OP "They are no longer a resource" - HR was never resources FOR humans. Humans ARE the resource.
Soylent green is people!
Don’t think this is isolated to India; it is happening in the US as well. If you go through the previous posts on here about DPA , you’ll see the exact same pattern. It was a playground for the same "new norm" of bullying, backbiting, and metrics-gaming.
