Topics regarding layoffs at CDW

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

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 

Hiring Freeze?

Why is CDW still on a hiring freeze? You can apply and interview for other positions internally but they can’t make you an offer? There are other new employees but how when the hiring freeze is in place? What is the point of interviewing for... — read more 

Headed into week 5 post layoff

Still haven’t gotten a new position. I’ve got my mortgage and bills covered for March, but then, there is nothing. I want to crawl into a hole and sleep until this nightmare is over.

Laid off but Other Jobs Open

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?

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

CDW is still around?

I haven’t heard much of CDW in the last 5 years. Thought they were irrelevant in the consulting world these days, did they miss the boat on the last wave of technology and cloud etc..? Is this the fate of all resellers?

Where do we stand with layoffs?

I remember reading something about another restructuring coming our way, what happened with that? Is that still in play or can we move on from that rumor, considering that it's been several weeks since it was last mentioned? I'm just trying to... — read more 

Baffled

Not sure how CDW gets positive ratings by Forbes. Unless of course they are asking coworkers who fear repercussions for not spouting what management crams down every ones throats. That or Forbes is asking upper management who are raking in bonuses... — read more

Serious inquiry here. Do you believe that participation in a Business Resource Group (BRG) is “needed” to move up the ladder? The obvious answer is “it doesn’t hurt” sure, but do you believe it’s needed? I ask because I’ve been working on getting... — read more
