I was performing, loyal and zero drama. I kept my head down, did my work and made great money for CDW. You? You are not performing, you are not keeping your head down, and you are bleeding cash for CDW. You are a disaster who ruins lives and an... — read more 

In the present leadership era, apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to drop a bo-b right before a holiday, and then make sure all VPs show out of office for the rest of the day so as not to be bothered by the peasants. Meanwhile, I’m sure they are... — read more

If you are reading this, and you received the non-descript meeting invite from Coworker Services, I am so very sorry. Which department(s) are impacted - asking so we can rally around those being laid off.

Just heard the Bellevue and Portland offices are being closed at the end of July? Any other offices affected or just those two?

Why are there so many Sirius sellers leaving, or left, the company? CDW is hemorrhaging all the 20 year customer relationships? As a CDW seller, I was assigned a lot of these accounts, that came with very high quotas and they don't want to do... — read more 

CDW isn't what it used to be. Worse culture, worse pay, with constant cuts on top of it. So why do you stay? For me, it's health insurance. That's the only reason.

I'm approaching 50 and would like to work another 15 years before retiring. Given the current environment, I'm concerned that if I were laid off in my 50s, finding a comparable role could take much longer than it would today. Would you recommend... — read more

I'm new here and I'd really like to know if this is really an expectation?

Was just recently alerted to a former coworker who posted to LinkedIn about being let go. This wasn't the normal LinkedIn post just letting people know about the employment change. This coworker was fired for asking an "Unprofessional" question... — read more 

Great job Chris and team. Still poor fundamentals but have to celebrate the good moves too! In at 98.

I have noticed a pattern that is driving me crazy. The people who are best at dodging work and shifting their responsibilities onto others seem to be the ones getting promoted. At the same time, the dedicated employees burn out and leave, and... — read more

As an owner, I know this is a good company with kind, and capable people who are victims. The teams are carrying a huge burden, and living in fear, but the real issue is leadership. The company has become top heavy with expensive SVPs, slow to act... — read more 

Soooo many posts on LinkedIn in recent weeks of coworkers across multiple departments who’ve been here 5/10/15+ years leaving for better opportunities. Proactively leaving and not waiting for next round of layoffs in case they get hit next. Good for... — read more
