As a former CDW engineer my observation was that the number of engineers far exceeded the amount of available projects. While I worked with some smart engineers, a majority did not have skills comparable to their pay grade. Too many "that's not my... — read more 

The stock is at a multi-year low today of $118.40. No leadership, poor morale due to no leadership and no competitive advantage. The best and the brightest are jumping ship to competitors or just outright leaving as they are making less money year... — read more 

Any other tenured SMB reps on here also seriously missing the vibrant and fun culture of old? Completely gone at this point and morale at all-time low. Quality of management also at all-time low, zero value provided day-to-day beyond pipeline review... — read more 

Anyone else from Managed Services get axed?

Does anyone have numbers of how many we let go? and what groups

Anyone else hearing customer sat issues and engineer complaints because of how siloed Sirius and CDW is? The integration is a mess and customers are noticing.

I knew a phenomenal engineer who was in Managed Services. He was a CCIE, multiple firewall certs, cloud experience, you name it, and every customer we mutually worked with always praised him. According to him, management ignored his promotion... — read more 

Which groups have gotten layoffs this week? And no internal announcement yet, what's the deal ? Now called Fewer Coworker February since Fast Start Feb clearly didn't work

Heard of a few people being let go. Just wondering if there was a big layoff or only about 5 to 10 people.

As a former senior engineer at CDW I can say without a doubt that the company is in serious trouble. I made six figures basically doing nothing because internal politics prevented me from receiving projects. While it was great for a time, I realized... — read more 

Why aren't we complaining about the laughable 401K match or the limited medical coverage? CDW could contribute $10K to our 401k's today and that would mean more to me than a few days of vacation pay when I leave, or beef up the medical or just give... — read more 

When I was ranking my people, I was specifically told I had to rank on a curve and could only have so many people at the top and had to have a specific percent below a three to allow for lower rating and merit. I didn’t agree with this, but did as... — read more 

I get we're not rolling in the bucks but are your teams getting the usual 3% increases? My manager hinted not to expect anything unless you were a 5 or on a visible deal. Are we prepping for RIF 2.0 or just my team isn't getting raises this year

Once again the stock has fallen off the map, it was a t a yearly low of $119 earlier today and is not moving out of 120 range - so what next for layoffs? The market is down in general but it's hurting us more than others due to our do-nothing... — read more 

Congrats to everyone. Good earnings keeps the Grimm Reaper away.

I wonder how many Amazon employees were encouraged to embrace AI in everything they do, only to have Bezos realize their jobs could be automated?

Another earnings call is just around the corner. How do you think Leahy and Miralles spin Q4, CY 25 and the lowest stock price in 5 years? I'm sure we will hear they cracked the code with the new GTM strategy and "all-weather team". From my... — read more 

I've been pretty much told that I either need to step down and walk away from my role or go through the process of being let go. Is severance even an option?

What is everyone’s expectations on merit increases in the new fiscal? Mine, next to nothing.

The consequences of how layoffs have been handled, the lack of a sound strategy, and the plummeting stock price are resulting in a major loss of talent. Coworkers are leaving for Google, Healthcare Organizations, other tech companies etc. Solutions... — read more 

The restructure is a joke, just stop already. None of you got a new job or increase in pay. Another day another Linkedin Post of I started a new position.

Does anyone know when layoffs will happen in Jan '26?

I came across this article this morning that leads with, "Why Is CDW Not Exciting? Despite the more favorable entry price, we don't have much confidence in CDW." They cite three reasons: 1) Sales growth over the last 3 years; 2) Sales growth... — read more 

Why does my manager never seem to know anything? I ask a direct question about deadlines, budgets, or strategy, and I get a blank stare or vague promises. It's beyond frustrating.

What’s everyone’s best guess on what will happen with the company in the coming year? Good, bad or ugly

What the heck. C’mon Santa!

So apparently the top 4 execs have received extensions of compensation agreements that would pay them through 2029 in the event of separation or acquisition, yet everybody else is being offered what? Three Months? Nothing to see here, move on... — read more

Anyone have any idea what this is coming at 1600 today? (Tues 11/18/25) Just randomly popped on my calendar, zero context or clues. No message or agenda included.

.....oh that's right, those are no more! Money otherwise spent on consultants, C level events and overpaying "leaving" executives. One small step they could do to try and start to rebuild any kind of culture here....but nope.

Sure is fun to see all these pics on LinkedIn of Partner Summit. Our fearless leader and the executive minions living their best life while sinking this ship and ruining peoples lives. I hope the steaks at the Golden Steer were amazing.

How much money (and time) has CDW wasted on consultants? Between Deloitte, Bain, and others we have spent millions on companies that don't give us answers, they just get paid to tell us we are doing it wrong (and then leave it to our own people to... — read more 

Remember why this site is here? Oh yeah... to report on layoffs. All the people yelling "the sky is falling" seemed to have been wrong. We seem to at least have some stability and can focus on doing our jobs and stop looking over our shoulders for... — read more
