Rant: This place doesn't value experience anymore

Been with Frito-Lay for 15 years, worked my way up from route sales to a district manager position. I know this business inside and out. But lately, all I see are younger people, straight out of college, getting fast-tracked into leadership roles. They're all about the latest buzzwords and 'disruption,' but they don't understand the fundamentals. Meanwhile, those of us with actual experience are being sidelined or pushed out. I pour my heart and soul into this company, and it feels like they just don't care. I'm tired of the corporate BS. They need a reality check. I'm starting to actively hate my job.

I hear you. It's frustrating when you feel like your years of dedication aren't being recognized. Companies often chase the 'new shiny object' without realizing the value of institutional knowledge. Have you considered talking to your manager about your career goals and how your experience can benefit the team in a different capacity? Sometimes, proactively positioning yourself can make a difference.

Honestly, this is happening everywhere. Companies are obsessed with innovation and 'fresh perspectives,' which often translates to cheaper labor. 15 years is a good run. Start looking at other companies, even if it's just to see what's out there. Use that experience to your advantage. You might be surprised at the opportunities that exist beyond Frito-Lay, and maybe even find a place that values your skillset more.
