Anyone else over gaslighting from management? Anyone else have to deal with entitled AM’s who constantly cry wolf and are just downright disrespectful and we are basically just told we have to deal with it?

Why are there so many “lifers” at CDW?

Perhaps the long term employees are simply a byproduct of a 40 year history, but I struggle to understand why a significant portion of the workforce seems to be committed to CDW long term. With bare minimum annual raises and a 10% salary increase cap... — read more

What is CDWs stance on the new ruling from the FTC? They send out multiple notices of your non-compete after you get fired

Layoffs this week?

So, last week, the predictions about layoffs didn’t pan out… but of course, there was the President’s Achievement awards. They didn’t want to ruin the good vibes of the event. Sort of like Converge happening the week before layoffs. It was cruel to... — read more 

Department getting contract labor

Should it be a concern if my department begins to get contract workers? My fear is they learn the roles and then layoffs occur as they onboard/off board contract labor as needed?

If you’ve been laid off from CDW or had a team member who was laid off, were there warning signs that you recognize in hindsight? For example, many of the coworkers cut in the April 2023 layoff had low utilization, difficulty meeting sales/presales... — read more 

Two more days….

Friday is my last day. I took a 5k pay cut to leave and avoid the inevitable. I managed to use all of the 2024 flex days and most of my sick days. Best of luck to everyone. I have a bad feeling for April 17-18.

Anyone Laid Off Find a Comparable Job?

I’m losing hope right now. I was one of those “expensive” folks laid off at the top of their salary band (and due to new strategic plan… but would not take a pay cut for new role to stay). The job market is vastly different this year. Salaries for... — read more

So does anyone know what the Layoffs look like for this year? I am hearing mixed things and wanted to compile some information. RTO factoring in etc.

Digital Velocity Reorg

Late last year CDW announced that Digital Velocity would become its own business unit. Since that BU announcement, senior leaders haven’t clarified anything about what that change will entail. Andy Eccles has been working on a vision statement for... — read more

Headed into week 5 post layoff

So if one was laid off, but there are new jobs open that one is qualified for with other departments, should one apply? Will it receive preferential consideration or actually be dissed?

Q4 Bonuses

Anyone know the projected date for Q4 bonus payout? With earnings call coming this week, will it be next pay day, Feb 16?

CDW or the hunger games

I’d say currently we are in movie 2. The victors that survived the last round of layoffs in 2023 are called back to fight for their life again. Everyone else is trying their best to stay in line and not pi-s off the capital people (leadership and... — read more 

So… How is Morale on Your Team?

Two key leaders of initiatives we were all told were going to drive 2024 were let go from our team. None of us have a flipping clue where we are headed or if we will be the next ones to get the dreaded invite to tell us we are out due to a change in... — read more 

Laid off and feeling lost

I was one of the unfortunate ones laid off. The day before the news, my boss was still including me in “future plans” and I was supposed to be leading a project for 2024. This makes me wonder if the timing of the cuts were unknown below a certain... — read more
