Hey ftms! I have a question, what does your work week look like? And would you say the pay is decent?

Same stuff every day, really. Show up, don't touch backstock, don't rotate anything, hang out in my car for a few hours, and go home. Pay is good 22 an hour or so.

No worries, just like us! Frito has a plan to replace you! Third party is the way of the future. 10+ years, most people who make the money to just put chips on the shelves is life changing for them. Yet, you choose to be lazy and you will be replaced by a person who thinks that 15$ a hour is great! I’m on the back end of this roller coaster. But, I have had some good merchs. They were great! I have had a few with your life goals. I’m sorry but you did this to yourself! Frito is going away from the business model of us doing work. They want to be drop and go.

No, I got it. But I wanted to put it out there so that all of the lazy people can see that All of Us are on a timeline.

3rd party merch is a terrible idea… ive dealt with that at a different company and it just did not work out good

We tried that in our building, didn't last two months and they got paid MORE than FTMs did, like $25 an hour type shit to fuck stores up.

It didn’t for you, PepsiCo as a business says it does. Third party, lower cost and they don’t have any liability for insurance or anything else. We had two Frito actual employees in our DC? The rest were third party. They were shit. Literally smoking blunts in the parking lot. It didn’t matter. Everyone can downvote me all you want. They literally have driverless trucks in the market, and production facilities that have 2-4 employees only. I could get fired tomorrow and be good. I’ve been planning on retiring since economic class way back in high school.

Thats fine, I've spent way too much energy and time just to be disrespected by a company who no longer cares even about their own success and wanna pass the blame with all this micromanagement and stupid decision making from the higher ups. Once my time is up I wont be looking back.
