r/Pepsi

So my last week with Pepsi was the week of Juneteenth and I worked my full week, full shifts on all 5 days including Juneteenth and that following Saturday. I’ve been reaching out to PepsiCo including the 888 number and they saw that I was indeed missing the holiday and that my local hr didn’t key it in. They keep telling me that they’re a third party company that works with PepsiCo and the only thing they can do is email my local hr and escalate it to their higher ups. The phone number they gave me for my local hr person is a non working number. They’re responding to my email. They keep saying they will put in a ticket and that I have to wait 24-48hrs for them to contact me which hasn’t happened yet and it’s going on 3 weeks and I still haven’t gotten my holiday pay. Idk if they mad because I quit that week or what but I want what’s owed to me. What’s the next step because if I have to go up there then I’m not going to be nice about it.

Did anyone else have an easier day than expected for the 4th of July?

I'm a Pepsi merchandiser, and after seeing a bunch of posts on TikTok and Reddit, I was mentally preparing for an absolutely brutal day. Everyone was saying to get ready because it was going to be super heavy.

To my surprise, I only ended up working about 9 hours. Don't get me wrong—it was still busy, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.

Did anyone else have a lighter-than-expected day, or did your route end up being as crazy as everyone was saying?

Context I’m a merch in an east shore market with the TSR / merchandiser setup. I like the job and been working for 10 months now, but a month ago my boss switched my route with another route because the merch on my current route had HR problems with the rep. I liked my old route and felt like I was forced out of it, this new route literally all the stores give me problems. My PriceRite are a bunch of racist assholes that keep global ticketing me, refusing to sign my phone, making inappropriate comments and saying I have too much stuff yet they write the orders (smh). Like I genuinely don’t want this route, I told my boss and they aren’t really interested in switching me back and they won’t put me as a floater either. I contacted HR about the whole pricerite situation and they’re looking into it. The other thing bothering me is that the merch that had this route now is trash talking me behind my back on social media, company phone group chats etc etc yet my boss is turning a blind eye to this. So idk what to do

Title explains itself, I’ve slung so many drinks this week, got partial help throughout the week I will say. Just wondering how it is for the rest of you? I’ll say one thing this excessive heat in my area has had people buying Gatorade out the ass.

I have an interview coming up. Any tips? Should I bring my insurance card to the interview?

In addition to running PepsiCanDesigns.com . . . I'm also a history podcaster. The one thing I haven't done yet is a story about Pepsi. If you know of interesting things Pepsi did or was involved with, or maybe something about their history I am in collection mode. Would love to hear some "unknown stories".

Can you call off within your 90 days?

Idk about yall but I've been wide open all day. Not to mention they didnt deliver my truck yesterday like they were supposed to so I got it today. Day before 4th with a truck is rough. 😂 Hope yall have a good weekend. Its gonna be a long one. Ill be at work both days.
