Pepsi profit play (Obama-loving, America-hating CEO Indra Nooyi to slash jobs, 401k match...)

Embattled PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi is considering laying off roughly 4,000 workers and ending the company’s 401(k) match in order to boost earnings, The Post has learned.

it’s not completely her fault (well the marketing slipups ARE), but stockholders are fickle — they want up-up-up each quarter and CEOs have to resort to cost-cutting, even stupid cost-cutting to satiate these guys...

PepsiCo vs. Coke Stock performance. Nooyi gives the "Middle Finger" to Pepsi shareholders.

Nooyi is toast. She’ll be gone from PepsiCo before Obama gets the boot in November.

Slashing benefits is a great way to attract top-tier employees. What’s next? Maybe taking away health benefits too?

Indra Nooyi, like the skid mark in White House, are indicative of what passes for “leaders” in the “diversity is our strength” Amerika devised by liberals; they are clueless, arrogant, and convinced of their own brilliance due to years of coddling by liberal enablers, and due to the perversity of political correctness those individuals responsible for minimizing their adverse effects and incompetence are fearful of removing them.

Same here. I go to restaurants and order a Coke. The waiter politely asks if Pepsi is ok. I say NO!
