The "my network is your network" posts on LinkedIn are nauseating. It's the new "thoughts and prayers".

I've heard different forecasts: CDW will do better than other tech companies CDW will suffer headwinds this year. Is this just a blip on the radar screen, and will CDW return to the "no layoffs" company it used to be? Or is this a sign of... — read more 

I know it included at least 3 months of health insurance in the US and that the payout was based on tenure and/or rank. I don’t know anyone who was laid off well enough to ask how many weeks of severance they got. This info could be relevant for... — read more 

Yes, we were told layoffs are done, but I don't trust this management anymore. Plus, if the next round is in a month or two, they can always say the all-clear was for this specific layoff, and that's all. I don't think I'll be able to properly relax... — read more 

Not affected by the layoff, but my team was. The determination of "who" was affected seemed to be very biased toward "legacy CDW" people staying and "acquired talent" being laid off. The truth is, it should have been the other way around. CDW seems... — read more 

Truth: Around 500-600 people in a company with over 14K people which has been growing fast for its size is comparatively not a large layoff. While most are probably nice people, it seems as though 95% of those let go were a drag on the company who... — read more 

It was a very unpleasant surprise to find out who from my team was affected… This is exactly what motivated me to look for a way out of here more actively now than ever... I guess I'm not the only one?

I got to boot two months ago during the first tiny wave of layoffs. When I asked about the layoff, they told me not not call it a layoff but instead to say “my role was eliminated” or “my contract is over early”.. I knew something shady was up. So... — read more 

I'm not sure who made the decision on who to lay off, but I can say with certainty that they made several major mistakes. We lost some excellent folks today whose absence will be felt, that's for sure. It feels like sometimes the management can't see... — read more 

Im wondering how badly different teams will be affected. I can already see the struggle and worry in some folks... hang in there.

Those that have gotten the worst news, would you be willing to share the dept you were in?

No follow-up mail means you are safe.

Good luck, everybody.

As an employee, I received an email that layoffs are happening today

If I was a betting man, I'd say that we might be looking at layoffs today. And if not today, then next week for sure.

Is there anybody here who has concrete info about the coming layoffs? We all know something is going to happen, but nobody seems to be willing to share anything beyond that. A lot of people are stressing over this, so if you could help and clear out... — read more 

Just seen the internal memo on layoffs at the first of the year 2023. Possibly, at the end of 2022.

Is CDW done with layoffs? Or was this just round one?

CDW is laying off 2% of their employees today

As a freelance reporter, I have recently seen CDW has lost a few of it largest contributors in the company. I will report more in the future as details are trickling in.

Total count and any other breakdown you may have.

CDW should be ashamed of itself for what happened today in Chicago. Out of respect, I will not include any names or details. However, as a coworker I will speak up. What does it say about your company culture when someone calls you out in a suicide... — read more 

S3 (aka data center solutions) is rolling out a tool to track coworkers' activity, literally by the hour. Lots of whispering among coworkers that this is just a way for CDW to collect data on employees and start laying off staff they deem... — read more 

First CDW is just a technology e-tailer and nothing more. There is competition and it's gaining every day especially Amazon. CDW's pricing isn't the best and it's customers know. CDW tries to differentiate itself by services it offers, but not... — read more 

Since our UK company joined CDW, everything is getting worse. Workload and pressure is heavier and our gain soon will be the same as the UK lowest guaranteed by law. I feel like a number, not actual pearson.

Really, I am not aware of any CDW layoffs since 2009 (about 200 people in Vernon Hills as far as I remember) when we had a big hit during the big downturn in the economy - I have left about six months ago and things might have changed at CDW but I... — read more 

If you start working here, expect no serious money for at least several years. The base pay is so law that it's beyond ridiculous, and the commission is simply not enough for your needs. On a bright side, you get to work with some wonderful people.

It used to be a great place, with good environment to work in. CDW is changing, and not for the better. And the one thing that should be changed ASAP, remains the same. This old-school management style which drags this company into abyss. A lot of... — read more 

I heard that some distribution centers might be closing in Q1 2016. How reliable this information is? Just a rumor or there is some substance here? Anyone?
