I left PepsiCo place because it felt like managers outnumbered the people actually doing the job. Meetings were packed with folks who barely contributed while a handful carried the load. It was all title collecting and empire building with no real value added. Watching layers pile up while workers got nothing in return was exhausting. I see very little has changed in the years since I left. I hope leadership eventually wakes up and fixes the mess.

@c7 100% accurate. Director and above are protecting their jobs here while shipping everything below them offshore.
They need people to push other people. Especially since the workload is not feasible.
When all jobs are shipped overseas to Hyderabad, Mexico City, Poland et all, all you will have left is bosses here. And it’s not just PepsiCo who’s doing this. It’s truly stupid of American companies
I am aware of L9s and L10s with no directs, leveled 2-3 levels above comparable employees in other departments, and never come into the office.
And S&T is a flagship example of that sick behaviors across the e board
Yep. That’s PepsiCo. Everyone wants the money, not the work. Nothing is getting done anymore. Just creat a bunch of useless meetings to show the calendars are booked or double booked.
