Official - North America Control Layoffs This week..

I heard about on-going layoffs in D&AI. I know someone who got laid off. Is this one off usecase or more is yet to come?

Stock is up 10% for the year but down a bunch after the 2025 reporting spike. If the market doesn't like Q1 I can't see how he's around by the end of the year.

North America Control. HQ-based employee were told to stay home this week. Such a sad situation for a hard-working group that was already hit hard last year. Anyone hear anything else?

My kid has a summer internship at Pepsi this summer. It looks like the company is having some challenges currently. Does anyone know if Pepsi ever rescinds internships in the past? Any advice or guidance anyone could offer?

End of Q1…Are more layoffs heading our way?

Some managers here know exactly what they're doing. They tear at you until you're too tired and too unsure to leave. They make you feel lucky to have the job so you'll keep accepting low pay and bad treatment. It's a strategy.
