Swamped with impossible deadlines, zero respect for work-life balance, and running on fumes every single day. It’s like they expect us to be robots who never need a break. Honestly, what’s the point of surviving in a place that drains you dry? — read more 

Will there be more cuts any time soon?

Sadly, let’s admit that we have failed ourselves. How many of us watched as people were laid off and then we all came on here and wrote angry responses about what should be done and then did nothing. We sat happy that we were not impacted and hoped... — read more 

Resolution of No Confidence in the Leadership of CDW Corporation WHEREAS, the employees of CDW Corporation have, with dedication and professionalism, supported the company through periods of rapid change, economic uncertainty, and digital... — read more 

CDW used to be a great place to work. We used to care, we used to develop, we used to honor our coworkers. Once we started doing layoffs and realized it help led our books, we just can’t stop. Yes, some are poor performers, but most are long time... — read more 

Were there any laid off that were over 40 or even 50? Please respond with your age only (not name) if you were laid off or know of coworkers in your areas that were let go who may be of this age. I am thinking of hiring a law firm and wanted to know... — read more 

Was anyone from configs impacted by the layoffs this week?

I was called a troll but for the third time, you now see we have an in on the information. The next one is coming mid to third quarter of next year but there will be small groups of layoffs along the way that WILL include more coworkers and this time... — read more 

Many of the people cut in this round were the ones who were truly invested - diligent, skilled, and the kind who made sure their teams ran efficiently and smoothly. The ones you could count on to solve problems, to step up, to keep learning and... — read more 

After the shenanigans of this week, I can’t help but wonder where is the CEO? It’s been sheer silence- internally and publicly? Is something going on? She hasn’t been since at the office…

Messaging is major restructuring is taking place. People are who have not been laid off are being forced to change teams and learn new scopes of work. How come CDW did not report this under the WARN Act?

They let go quality delivery coworkers who had good utilization and revenue... Coworkers who were in technology areas CDW leadership claims they want us to grow in. Many of these cuts make no business sense and it is crushing moral because it implies... — read more 

From this point on, my full effort is going into finding another job. With the direction this company has taken, it’s no longer a question of if , it’s when each one of us will be cut.

So this is going to change things for the better - exactly how?

There's an old saying, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." At CDW, it seems the saying is, "The layoffs will continue until executive management becomes competent." There have been so many rounds of layoffs over the last 4+ years... — read more 

Hoping managed services isn’t getting the axe as well…

Or is there still a chance some people haven’t heard yet because they weren’t available? Asking for a friend - literally.

Each team that lost people will be expected to pick up their work. There will be no backfilling, no pay raises, nothing. I've seen it happen before and it'll happen again. Yes, we might still be here, but we're just as sc--wed as those who were laid... — read more 

Wouldn’t it make more sense to eliminate a handful of redundant middle management roles across these teams—positions that contribute little tangible value—rather than cutting the technical staff who are actually on the front lines doing the hard... — read more 

Do we know?

I worked with Amplified before CDW acquired it. What was the impact on that group and CDW Education?

BTW a company wide email wasn't sent by the CEO today. Late in the day we get a cryptic email saying hard decisions had to be made for CDW to move forward. The board needs to act fast and get CDW back on track! What's falling faster sales or moral. — read more 

anyone from ITS affected and on this site? how was it handled? thoughts?

How big was the hit on the Data group and who was affected? I left in April 2023. For the folks still there, good luck. For the ones departing, I wish you an easy transition and hope you find something even better. Good luck.

And funnily enough, they’ve been letting go of the skilled, the experienced, the valuable.

Not everybody laid off is 50+ but to me it seems that the majority of those affected are. Which means that this is not about performance in any way, shape, or form. I just hope that those who were cut decide to sue. There's a reason why age... — read more 

This may not have been the dream job, but these are tough times. I truly hope you all find something better soon. Being laid off is absolutely not a reflection of your worth or your skills. We’re all just a number to them.

Layoffs at CDW were confirmed this morning via a company-wide email from the CEO. Described as “modest reductions” across select functions, with some roles in Canada impacted as well. Managers started individual virtual meetings today with affected... — read more 

5am CT this morning. Email from Waddell and Kirby about cuts in ITS and DV.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why billable delivery resources are being required to attend Power Play sales meetings?

Something is happening right now. Yesterday leadership received messages to be in Chicago by last night for meetings today.

Funny how those yearly surveys don't seem to come out anymore isn't it?

This is a follow-up to being the average middle-aged white guy at CDW; the message is that your services are no longer needed. It doesn't matter whether you have experience or Channel contacts. Executive leadership has always played around with... — read more 

I think it is exciting for us to be a sponsor of Team USA, but I am very concerned about the cost and the fact we are three years away from the Olympics. According to Copilot, the lower end of that type of sponsorship is $50M. Seems that is a... — read more 

No, Chris is not leaving, and CDW just made a large acquisition with the word on the street being that it is under- performing, so probably not that either. My guess is that new executive leadership is being hired under Chris to raise the bar on the... — read more 

Why is nobody considering that option? What am I missing?

Anyone know what the big news next week is?

I've been hearing rumors that CDW verifies the job title and duration and rehire status. What else are they verifying? Salary?
