Montgomery PA site - anyone else hearing rumors?

Saw the WARN notice drop for the 169 roles in Montgomery. I’m currently at a different site but the mood here has shifted overnight. Management is acting like it’s just a standard 'seasonal realignment' or some corporate speak, but we all know that headcount reduction usually rolls out in waves. Has anyone on the ground in PA actually received their notifications yet, or is it still just the vague HR emails? I’m trying to figure out if this is strictly HQ/admin or if they’re tapping into supply chain and warehouse ops too. Trying to decide if I need to update my resume this weekend or if I’m just being paranoid. The silence from leadership is deafening, as usual.

The Montgomery situation is looking grim. I have friends in the warehouse who confirmed the notifications started hitting inboxes early this morning. It’s definitely not just admin or corporate staff; they are cutting deep into operations and frontline roles, despite what leadership says in those generic company-wide town halls. Management keeps calling it a strategic realignment to calm the nerves, but everyone knows the drill by now. If you're at another site, keep your resume updated and watch for any sudden changes in production schedules or increased management presence. It feels like the beginning of a much larger wave.

Honestly, stop looking for transparency from HR. They have a script they have to follow, and 'seasonal realignment' is just their go-to phrase to prevent a complete floor walkout. I went through a similar layoff at a different PepsiCo facility two years ago, and the pattern is identical. First, the vague emails, then the selective notifications, and finally the realization that the site is being hollowed out. If they’ve already filed the WARN notice, the decisions are final. Focus on your severance package and start networking immediately because corporate rarely stops once they start trimming the headcount.
