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 improving. But none of that seems to matter. Reliability and competence aren’t valued. It’s all just numbers now. And the worst part? The worst come the cheapest.

Good idea. I will look on the EEOC website and see if there is a place to report these kinds of matters and see if they apply.
There really ought to be an EEOC investigation into the age 40+ composition of these layoffs.
Laying off employees is a hard option, but companies hire leaders that jump from company to company and convince companies that layoffs are the easiest and fastest money savings. The long term results usually work against a company and they revert to the way it was before and re-hire employees. I would like to see the companies see through these leaders that sacrifice great employees for their own selfish success.
Every large-scale layoff at CDW has included a lot of highly-skilled, experienced, results-driving coworkers.
This one certainly seemed to include more, but they ran out of low-performers to get rid off.
This is one just accelerated the company’s decline much faster.
