Let’s face it. It sure looks like CDW leadership has decided the future is cheap offshore labour, and North American employees are just collateral damage. The people at the top get their cost savings, the workers get their pink slips, and the... — read more
No matter what you do, you're not safe from retaliation
Even if you bailed out the entire project the day before, some are ready to throw you under the bus the following day. And I'm talking about people here, not in Europe, not in Asia. Right here at home. They are untouchable and they keep passing it... — read more
“Boys Club”
I’ve noticed that during some layoff cycles, the women on the teams are laid off but the men get options to stay. I’ve also experienced weird treatment from the men, particularly in sales, and some customers who are women have admitted the same. I’m... — read more
The people doing the work keep getting sacrificed
I've watched the people actually producing results lose their jobs in every single layoff - and there's been plenty of those this year - while the management structure remains largely untouched. I guess they think the easiest way to reorganize is to... — read more
Happy Days are Here Again!
Wow congrats to everyone! We are back! My stock is on fire, and layoffs are behind us for now. Congrats to Chris and the leadership team. We love you, way to stick it out. All weather greatness!
Earnings tommorrow
My guess is higher rev, lower GM. services to product ratio down. AI fluff. This new regime is worse in services than ever. with bad morale. Cloud will be down because the Mission leaders are distracted. These are my predictions based on observation... — read more
CDW has trained me not to care
I actually have to stop myself from getting too enthusiastic about projects here. What's the point when the company has made it so clear how little employees matter? People give their best and still get treated as expendable whenever it suits... — read more
So much stupid merch.
Got laid off in July during that round of RIF and while I was going through my closet and kitchen today to donate some items to Goodwill I found so much useless CDW stuff that was given to me during my tenure there. A full set of copper Moscow mule... — read more
Stop asking when the next round will happen
Start looking for a new job now. Everyone has a shelf life at CDW. Every single one of us.

AI Super Sprint
My Lawd, what a waste of time. Wonder how much money we burned for this "enlightenment" training of AI.
CDW India is Booming
When I randomly open Linkedin... All I see is notices from existing CDW coworkers in the States posting about either being let go or new coworkers posting "thanks" for being hired in India (no knock to those in India as that'll help cut costs to... — read more
Layoff Timeline
Has anyone heard anything about when the next round of RIFs are coming? If they are inevitable, I wish it would be sooner rather than later as this constant stress of having them hanging over our heads is so demoralizing
WTF were we thinking?
I cannot believe how bad it is here. I came in like the other newbies, thinking we were going to kick a-s and make the company better. I was one of the many newbies that criticized the current coworkers. I am dreading that sh-t because this place is... — read more
Do you know of a single bad employee who was laid off?
I don't. All the people I know who were laid off are seasoned workers with plenty of institutional knowledge and a track record of high performance. It's like leadership is sabotaging the company by cutting the best and leaving the worst behind. It... — read more

Town Hall
If you are just going to read to us word for word off a script, in a monotone voice, just send an email. We can read it ourselves. Has the first guy who spoke never presented before?
Why bother suggesting anything new
People here have plenty of ideas, but very few seem to survive the process. By the time something gets through all the approvals, there's barely anything left of the original idea.
Layoff Friday?
See post from someone in HR saying they got layered off Friday. Small targeted layoff or impacts other groups?
Can someone who is NOT a seller chime in about how layoffs have impacted you/your team?
Often when there are posts made about layoffs at CDW here, there are many sellers who comment saying that the roles weren’t needed anyway, that they were a waste of money at the company, and even that the jobs weren’t real. As someone who was laid... — read more
CDW Summit circlej--k
Once again, wow. Does anyone think of CDW as an AI leader? Is that the (yet again) “new” AI messaging now that CDW bought the AI analytics company? Another slap in the face of those who’ve been laid off recently and the teams who are unable to secure... — read more

I have a bad feeling. Is it just me?
Since the onset of all these recent changes, reduction in workforce, and major leadership shifts we have seen so many changes in the organization. With the way they are shifting away from the normal process for formulating our campaigns and it makes... — read more
Education is a DISASTER!
Who is running the ship here? The SVP is clueless on the day to day, the VP is the SVPs buddy, the directors are a majority of the SVPs pawns from his years moving up the chain. Account Managers are doing nothing but collecting orders and being... — read more
CDW acquires Lovelytics $525
CDW acquire Lovelytics for $525M. Messaging from leadership “Layoffs are a result of cost cutting measures. We are extremely sorry.” Many talented individuals are given walking papers, some had been with CDW for 10, 20 and 30 years. These... — read more
Loyalty isn't much of a career plan anymore
The old idea of spending your entire career at CDW doesn't make much sense anymore. This place has proven it will reorganize or eliminate your position regardless of how long you've been here. These days, switching jobs can be the fastest way to... — read more
I can’t believe
I came from Slalom, not as a VP or SVP, but an IC. I can’t believe I left what I had to come to CDW. I’m dealing with buyer’s remorse and am pushing my resume to other opportunities. After 3 months of what I’ve experienced, I’m already applying for... — read more
The current coworkers were right!
We new employees have been meeting and chatting on other sites and with each other. Now that most of us have started working here, we agree with the current employees. The leaders here are terrible and the company is highly dysfunctional and there is... — read more

What happened to the IT CTO
CTO and SVP of IT is gone! anyone knows what happened? I thought he was a great, smart leader.
The double standard
I've noticed that some people can say anything and it's called helpful, but when others say the same thing it's called aggressive. The double standard is driving me crazy. I guess knowing the right people is the most important thing to have your... — read more
Director Meeting, Manager Cuts

New Acquisition
New company purchased as I see more layoff posts on LinkedIn and numerous posts from India about just getting hired (as well as interns accepting roles). New company is Ai related so at least they know stuff.
