Another round of cuts. Are we just numbers now?

I’ve been with PBNA for nearly six years, and it feels like every other quarter we’re holding our breath waiting to see if we’re still on the org chart. 169 people gone in Montgomery is a punch in the gut, especially with the holidays coming up. I remember when this company actually cared about retention, but now it seems like the only goal is to make the margins look pretty for the next investor call. It’s impossible to focus on actual projects when you’re constantly wondering if your department is next on the chopping block. If anyone affected by the PA cuts is looking for advice on the severance packages or outplacement services, please post here. Stay strong everyone, this place isn’t worth your mental health.

It feels like the human element has been completely stripped away from the culture here. I remember when we were treated as assets rather than line items in a spreadsheet meant to fluff up the quarterly report. Six years of loyalty deserves more than a pink slip before the holidays. It’s draining to come into work every day when you can practically feel the uncertainty hanging in the air. The management team seems focused entirely on satisfying stakeholders while the actual workforce is left to deal with the fallout of these constant, demoralizing restructures.

Look, I get that business is business, but the way these cuts are handled is brutal. The Montgomery news really hit home for a lot of us who have put in the time. Honestly, at this point, the best thing you can do is polish your resume and look for a place that values stability. If you’re waiting for them to suddenly start caring about long-term employees again, you’re only setting yourself up for more disappointment. Keep your head down, do the work, but don't hold your breath for loyalty.
