The Mess in Backbone
Some of the 'Backbone' VPs should admit they are more interested in building their own fiefdoms. If they are interested doing their jobs, the documentation across the org would be current. There has been re-org after re-org since last year with no... — read more

For those of us left behind how are your direct leadership chain handling the communication? What’s the spin in your all hands?
CDW Layoffs Today
Based on credible inside sources, layoffs are happening today
How many we expect to be affected?
All kinds of rumors are floating around. Whatever the number may turn out to be, it seems pretty clear it will be huge.
Anyone impacted got email after CEO email

10/2/2024 - CDW Layoffs
An announcement from CEO went out at 5:00 am regarding reduction in workforce. CDW co-workers should expect this to be substantial 2,500+. The Sirius acquisition never worked out. That falls on the front door of the CEO as a failure. Most of the... — read more
No thought put in the selection, as usual
Wholesale layoffs. Good people are being let go. The only criteria that I can see applied is that if you are experienced and skilled, therefore more expensive than the others, you are more likely to be booted. Which, as a rule, means that they are... — read more
It is Happening Again...
Layoffs announced today. Sad day for our coworkers. When is this leadership going to take accountability??? 3rd round of layoffs, another miss for numbers, Seems to me the problem is how this company is being ran and that starts at the TOP!!!! .. — read more
Another RIF today - how's everyone doing?
Not a surprise - what areas were affected?
What companies hire from CDW?
Typically competitors recruit from each other. However, since CDW doesn’t have directly comparable competitors, I’m struggling to come up with a list. What companies hire from CDW?
Friday, don’t forget your time sheets
You don’t want to be on a list to be first cut because of a timesheet!
Just waiting for severance ?
Im curious, with the next layoff being for sure, how many folks are just camping for severance ? Looking at the changes in leadership, it seems like its the least useful people jockeying for roles and promotions. The coworkers that I know are good... — read more
Bye CDW
Got another job. Leaving CDW after I take all my vacation. Not even giving notice. They wouldn’t do me the courtesy so why should I?!?!
Bad news guys
Within 35-40 days there will almost certainly be a selective CDW layoff. Before the holidays, and around earnings time so cost reductions can be announced on the call to soften the likely earnings miss and shore up the remaining employee morale. The... — read more
Bye CDW as we know it
Y’all! CDW filed a form 8-K with the SEC AND made a tender offer. When both a Form 8-K and a tender offer are involved, it usually signals that the company is making a significant move that affects its stock or shareholder structure. CDW investors... — read more
Everybody seems like they've already mentally left
Productivity is down significantly. It's like people can't be bothered anymore. I guess if you treat employees like cr-p for years, this is the result.
Next round of cuts
Should we expect anything before the end of the year?
Severance?
Anyone know what kind of severance CDW would offer if they did layoffs?
The signs of a CDW layoff
There are 4 major signs that point to an imminent layoff at CDW. Sign 1, cost cutting via a new the PTO policy will yield a large pickup in the financials and the timing is very suspicious. A policy like this should normally be implemented on a... — read more
Will you leave?
After last week’s FlexTO announcement, how many of you are considering leaving CDW, by either finding another job or retiring? I think CDW’s strategy is to reduce the workforce the easiest way possible…by having folks self-exit
Stratascale Layoffs
Stratascale SHI layoff/reorg today. Everyone moved under the gross conglomerate after leadership emphasized the importance of focus on this fresh new brand that was supposed to set its self apart. Get bullsh-t boiler plate message from leadership on... — read more
Unlimited PTO
Email came out today that CDW will now only offer unlimited PTO effective 4/1/24. Coworkers will not accrue anymore vacation after 9/1/24 and must use all their leave balances by 3/31/2025. I am extremely pi---d and think a lot of folks will self... — read more

Q2 Earning call (7/31): layoffs before? Or after?
Insights? Numbers sure aren't looking good for the 2nd quarter in a row, something has to give to appease investors.
Good advice
As one of the January layoffs, here is my advice: (1) when things get “weird” and meetings keep getting cancelled and any semblance of “strategy” gets fuzzy, it’s because layoffs are coming. You may or may not be on the list, but you’ll be... — read more
CDW and CrowdStrike
Did we have fun today?
CDW and the CrowdStrike debacle
Was today fun at CDW towers? CrowdStrike is used at CDW on internal systems and resold to customers. Feel bad for the infosec team.
Update Talent Profile in Workday
Another interesting thing happened at CDW today. Not sure if anyone else got it, but I got an email from HR that said ACTION REQUIRED: Update Your Talent Profile. Apparently, your “Talent Profile” contains all of your education, work experiences... — read more
Comp and Benefits Outside of CDW
For those that have left CDW either voluntary or involuntary, what are you seeing as far as compensation and benefits outside of CDW? I know CDW’s comp and benefits are not great (5 sick days a year is a joke!) but are other companies similar? — read more

Infogroup Northw: Payroll?
Did anyone else's direct deposit today say it was from Infogroup Northw: Payroll, instead of CDW or CDW Government? I saw that IGNW was acquired by CDW in 2020, but my direct deposit only started showing this today. Is it due to the Workday... — read more
I’ve noticed some things
Hi all, I’m thinking there may be layoffs coming before Q2 earnings call. I’ve noticed on my boss’ calendar that he/she was preparing an “Exec Package”. Only thing I can think is he/she is making recommendations for layoffs. Of course, we’re all... — read more
What is with the management changes up top?
Directors and VPs etc? Anyone else sense this or feel nervous about things? I love working here but things have felt off . I guess we will what happens after Q2 numbers.
CDW Jobs - “Immigration Associate”
WTAF? With as many IT and Cyber folks laid off in the last year and actively seeking work, how can CDW possibly justify immigrant workers - other than wanting to drive down wages and benefits?
"New" Security Model
It's been six months since they put forth this new SSE/SSA model to us, promised it would be more streamline and much easier to get the right resources in front of our customers, aka "one point of contact/QB of the deal". Personally I'm not seeing... — read more
