Does anyone have numbers of how many we let go? and what groups
Sirius Merger An Operational Disaster
Anyone else hearing customer sat issues and engineer complaints because of how siloed Sirius and CDW is? The integration is a mess and customers are noticing.
CDW Can't Keep Top Talent
I knew a phenomenal engineer who was in Managed Services. He was a CCIE, multiple firewall certs, cloud experience, you name it, and every customer we mutually worked with always praised him. According to him, management ignored his promotion... — read more
Feb 26 Layoffs
Which groups have gotten layoffs this week? And no internal announcement yet, what's the deal ? Now called Fewer Coworker February since Fast Start Feb clearly didn't work
Layoffs today?
Heard of a few people being let go. Just wondering if there was a big layoff or only about 5 to 10 people.
CDW Will Eventually go Bankrupt
As a former senior engineer at CDW I can say without a doubt that the company is in serious trouble. I made six figures basically doing nothing because internal politics prevented me from receiving projects. While it was great for a time, I realized... — read more
Unlimited PTO is not the problem
Why aren't we complaining about the laughable 401K match or the limited medical coverage? CDW could contribute $10K to our 401k's today and that would mean more to me than a few days of vacation pay when I leave, or beef up the medical or just give... — read more
Reviews deliberately low to lower merit
When I was ranking my people, I was specifically told I had to rank on a curve and could only have so many people at the top and had to have a specific percent below a three to allow for lower rating and merit. I didn’t agree with this, but did as... — read more
Stock down = no raises? or just layoffs?
I get we're not rolling in the bucks but are your teams getting the usual 3% increases? My manager hinted not to expect anything unless you were a 5 or on a visible deal. Are we prepping for RIF 2.0 or just my team isn't getting raises this year
Stock @ 120 today - how soon do the next layoffs start?
Once again the stock has fallen off the map, it was a t a yearly low of $119 earlier today and is not moving out of 120 range - so what next for layoffs? The market is down in general but it's hurting us more than others due to our do-nothing... — read more
Nice Pop!
Congrats to everyone. Good earnings keeps the Grimm Reaper away.
Use AI, they said...
I wonder how many Amazon employees were encouraged to embrace AI in everything they do, only to have Bezos realize their jobs could be automated?
Feb 4. Earnings Call
Another earnings call is just around the corner. How do you think Leahy and Miralles spin Q4, CY 25 and the lowest stock price in 5 years? I'm sure we will hear they cracked the code with the new GTM strategy and "all-weather team". From my... — read more
Leaving Process
I've been pretty much told that I either need to step down and walk away from my role or go through the process of being let go. Is severance even an option?
Merit Increases
What is everyone’s expectations on merit increases in the new fiscal? Mine, next to nothing.
The Brain Drain Is On
The consequences of how layoffs have been handled, the lack of a sound strategy, and the plummeting stock price are resulting in a major loss of talent. Coworkers are leaving for Google, Healthcare Organizations, other tech companies etc. Solutions... — read more
Stop with the Linkedin Post of New Jobs
The restructure is a joke, just stop already. None of you got a new job or increase in pay. Another day another Linkedin Post of I started a new position.
Layoffs in Jan 2026?
Does anyone know when layoffs will happen in Jan '26?
How Does This Get Turned Around?
I came across this article this morning that leads with, "Why Is CDW Not Exciting? Despite the more favorable entry price, we don't have much confidence in CDW." They cite three reasons: 1) Sales growth over the last 3 years; 2) Sales growth... — read more
Why is CDW management always clueless?
Why does my manager never seem to know anything? I ask a direct question about deadlines, budgets, or strategy, and I get a blank stare or vague promises. It's beyond frustrating.
CDW Predictions for 2026
What’s everyone’s best guess on what will happen with the company in the coming year? Good, bad or ugly
138????
What the heck. C’mon Santa!

A Number of People are Looking to Exit
I was on a meeting earlier where open revolt over the performance review process broke out due to the Director on the Spectrum's inability to not irritate nearly everyone on his team due to his inability to think big picture versus dot I's and cross... — read more

Why was Bob Kirby reporting the numbers on the whole business? Is he taking over? Is DV merging with ITS?

Organizational Update (Managed Services) 1600
Anyone have any idea what this is coming at 1600 today? (Tues 11/18/25) Just randomly popped on my calendar, zero context or clues. No message or agenda included.
At least we have the Holiday Bonus coming!!
.....oh that's right, those are no more! Money otherwise spent on consultants, C level events and overpaying "leaving" executives. One small step they could do to try and start to rebuild any kind of culture here....but nope.
Partner Summit
Sure is fun to see all these pics on LinkedIn of Partner Summit. Our fearless leader and the executive minions living their best life while sinking this ship and ruining peoples lives. I hope the steaks at the Golden Steer were amazing.
Consultants, Consultants, Consultants
How much money (and time) has CDW wasted on consultants? Between Deloitte, Bain, and others we have spent millions on companies that don't give us answers, they just get paid to tell us we are doing it wrong (and then leave it to our own people to... — read more
At least layoffs are not happening (for now)
Remember why this site is here? Oh yeah... to report on layoffs. All the people yelling "the sky is falling" seemed to have been wrong. We seem to at least have some stability and can focus on doing our jobs and stop looking over our shoulders for... — read more
Stock Price
I thought all our strategic plans and moves were put in place to help drive the stock price up. So, why is it so far down?

We were told more info is coming December. Anybody know exactly what we are being told then?
CPQ??
what a joke
Wow. The stock. Way to go guys!
Demolished. Down $111.00 in 18 months, with buybacks. I guess the investors just don’t trust us yet? Put the guy from Slalom in. Or anyone.
