Addressing Customer Questions on the Impact of Tariffs on Goods from Mexico and China

Late Friday email, how thoughtful 🙄 Our ever-eloquent Mark Chong was kind enough to enlighten our "simpler minds" with a masterclass on the intricacies of tariffs. 👏 Nobel-worthy. Now, with bated breath, let's wait for the follow-up email explaining how these tariffs will be navigated to ensure our "oh-so-precious" coworkers and their meticulously crafted compensation plans will be gracefully adjusted. Because, of course, we wouldn’t want anything less than perfection for the team we "care so deeply" about. Right? It says it right on the cdw website: "We prioritize a balanced coworker life with diverse programs, reflecting our values of trust, connection and commitment. We engage our coworkers and listen to their needs through focus groups, surveys and learning opportunities.

CDW aspires to be the best place for talent by promoting equity in our processes for hiring, advancing, developing and retaining coworkers. Our coworkers are empowered to reach their highest potential, and we provide a variety of tools and development opportunities to help them achieve their career aspirations."

Can hardly wait! #trust #commitment

Perhaps he should have provided a clearer explanation on Basic economics then 🤭, like what you'd learn in Econ 101, tells us that these tariffs, while justified based on what other countries charge us also - fair trading, will impact your wallet, energy costs, and the price of goods. So, if we’re receiving emails about tariffs and their impact on customers, yet there’s no plan in place (from another manager, of course) to support our coworkers through this, then I have nothing more to add on the topic. And if no emails are sent addressing how these tariffs are being handled to support coworkers (ain't that a gem of an idea!), which will inevitably affect what you can afford with your paycheck, regardless of your segment, while ensuring that CDW’s top executives continue to profit, then we all know what that means. So, let’s see what happens!

This has what, exactly, to do with layoffs?

It's common sense, tariffs WILL affect the company AND the coworkers in their daily spendings. Economics 101.

Why would a PPM VP be discussing internal sales comp plan in a follow up email. PPM doesn't have sales comp plans outside of a small bonus.

What?
