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
401k Match
Does anyone know if those of use laid off in Jan 2024 will get paid our 401k match for 2023?
RTO rumors
Is RTO actually likely to happen anytime soon? If it does, will it be company-wide or targeted?
Watch out….
It’s coming….
Layoffs for 2024 ???
So does anyone know what the Layoffs look like for this year? I am hearing mixed things and wanted to compile some information. RTO factoring in etc.
Digital Velocity Reorg
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
Q4 2023 NGOI Bonus Payout for the Non Sales Bonus Program
Make it make sense.
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?
Q4 Bonuses
Anyone know the projected date for Q4 bonus payout? With earnings call coming this week, will it be next pay day, Feb 16?
any idea on RTO initiaves? can't get a solid answer
does anyone know?
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
Laid off and feeling lost
I was one of the unfortunate ones laid off. The day before the news, my boss was still including me in “future plans” and I was supposed to be leading a project for 2024. This makes me wonder if the timing of the cuts were unknown below a certain... — read more
I’ll tell you what’s going on.
I’m very familiar with the layoffs, why they happened, and what is next. I hope this post puts some of you at ease. Xx There is a great deal of value with Sirius. No finger pointing. There are no issues there other than some of their current sales... — read more
Was this a smaller trageted layoff or are they just not being upfront anymore?
Last year's layoffs came with an early morning warning email announcing the why and letting us know we may get a follow-up invite soon after if we were impacted. It looks like this time coworkers were just sent the invite and then badges for all... — 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?
Should we worry about more cuts?
I'm thinking it's over, but you can never be sure, I guess.
Layoffs Happening Today in DV
Multiple were laid off today in DV.
Lots of movement at top
Anyone else seen people getting downgraded from Director to Sr Mgr or Mgr…. Or complete reshuffles of teams? So much uncertainty right now. We were going to buy our first house, but I’m not sure whether it’s a good idea to go into debt right now… or... — read more
Layoffs for Finance Team
Is it true that the finance team of 200 got laid off and that they have to train their India replacements until Jan 2nd or risk losing their severance? Does anyone have proof they can provide?
What is indicating for folks that there might be a layoff on Monday ?
I'd like to know this as well.
Terminated
They are eliminating 200 jobs Jan 2nd and still making employee's go into the office two days a week to slap us in the face.. They didn't learn from the incident in 2018 with Jesse Pajente, 35. its sickening.. and the Cover ups keep coming!!
Layoffs?
What's everyone's feeling? My gut says a new round is in the works. Thoughts?
Unnecessary layers of leadership
I don't have much hope that we'll soon have fewer layers of leadership, but I believe that a lot of us here feel that the company would prosper if it got rid of most of them?
Bad feeling more layoffs in the works
Anyone else have the sense that there will be another round of layoffs and contraction coming in early Q3?
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
Layoffs are no longer the worst thing to happen at CDW
Staying here and working twice as hard as before while the company refuses to fill any of the many open positions and not being rewarded for it with a proper raise or bonus is worse. If you are laid off, you can get a normal job while you have some... — read more
BRG participation needed for promotion?
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
Meanwhile, over at the Leahy household...
According to the CRN article yesterday: "CDW’s CEO, president and chairwoman received $11.1 million in total compensation in 2022, according to SEC filings. That’s about 24 percent more than her total compensation the year prior." And others like... — read more
Everyone is looking for a new job
I don't remember ever so many people looking to get out of here as soon as possible? Obviously, there are very few who think that better days are coming...
