PepsiCo to Cut 1,000 Jobs Amid Sluggish North American Sales
PepsiCo plans to cut about 1,000 jobs in its North American food and beverage division within the coming week as part of a restructuring to streamline operations and boost growth. The company faces sluggish sales, with a 2% decline in beverage volumes and flat food volumes in the region, alongside higher input costs. Despite price cuts and increased marketing, sales recovery has been slower than expected. Investor pressure and productivity goals also contribute to the workforce reduction.
