Thread regarding CDW layoffs

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 improvement, only chaos. A GIS coworker jumped ship after 2 months of employment because of chaotic passive aggressive leadership going on.

GIS couldn't get their IDEAs right and pleaded to stop as they need 'different engagement' for projects. There is corner cutting all over with onboarding new technologies, some that are not needed and redundant.

Communication is just kind-of smooth words and head shaking followed-up with constant irrational change of direction.

CDW layoffs are about bad management from the top.

Backbone changes are always interesting to watch. Watching the scrum masters get decimated was interesting. Not saying that group was super successful or streamlined, but getting rid of all of them with a patchwork plan of carrying on with their obsessive SAFe system is interesting. I guess I'm thankful they were cut instead of teams actually delivering on technology solutions.

CDW has been playing the game of acquire and dismantle for market share. The recurring goal for CDW is to cull the herd by 10% per year. The game resets and repeats when quarterly revenue is reported.

Too bad good employees are mismanaged mostly by those who were not part of an acquisition.
