I just had a former CDW coworker let me know that the jobs of a few people who were let go in July are now posted on LinkedIn. These were longer-term coworkers who were making a clear and critical impact for CDW who were let go--all of them in their... — read more

ChatGPT is a great resource that can provide you with a lot of useful information. When it comes to layoffs, is this number accurate? Should companies replace old employees with new ones? Of course, these layoffs may seem low compared to the total... — read more 

Anyone know how much CDW will profit from the LA Olympics deal

Is this happening?

It’s a cut-throat world. Work hard, exceed your measurements or add > 5X your cost to GP, keep your skills relevant, KEEP YOUR JOB. Don’t do all that, GET LAID OFF. The people who are on this board complaining but are still at CDW-guarantee you’re... — read more 

I just want to thank all of you that recommended that we speak to an attorney. After they played hard ball and tried to tell me they would not offer anything and even trying my attorney, the pendulum swung and let's just say that I owe all of you a... — read more 

Offer them. Plenty of us out here that would accept a severance package to leave in a heartbeat. I personally know of a half dozen coworkers that would sign on the dotted line right now for one reason or the other if offered.

Sure, the people at the top are still getting plenty out of it. As long as the bonuses keep coming, pay keeps rising, and shareholders stay happy, everything seems fine. For them. But they don’t seem to think beyond that, or care much about those of... — read more 

As the dust settles from last week's layoffs, this is my assessment. First, those who were laid off in many instances had 20 years or more of experience at CDW. That in itself should be revealing, considering the time you invested in earning... — read more

Leahy cashed out $7.4 MILLION in shares back in May. And still holds 145,000 shares valued at $26M by today's prices. So guess who's sleeping soundly tonight?

I used to think I just wasn’t picking up on the plan, like maybe I missed a memo or something. But after a few years here, I’m pretty sure there isn’t one. We lurch from one priority to the next with no real thread connecting anything. I’ve stopped... — read more 

Curious if anyone has information about if CDW will be cutting ties with content marketing vendors such as Studio North agency or Manifest?

Should we consider unionizing to help save the remaining jobs? Are there any tech or companies like ours that are unionized ?

You don't have 48hr to sign, don't let them pressure you. You have 2yrs. Get yourself a lawyer and get what you deserve. 3 months salary and benefits for 6 months is rubbish for 15+ years of service.

Is negotiating the severance by yourself working or do you have to have an attorney for them to take it serious? We were only given a couple days to sign the document so have to act fast.

Thoughts on the future of Manifest agency since the CDW layoffs included a key marketing director? CDW is Manifest 's largest and key accounts. I'm worried about CDW dropping Manifest as a marketing partner.

Will there be more cuts any time soon?

Sadly, let’s admit that we have failed ourselves. How many of us watched as people were laid off and then we all came on here and wrote angry responses about what should be done and then did nothing. We sat happy that we were not impacted and hoped... — read more

After the shenanigans of this week, I can’t help but wonder where is the CEO? It’s been sheer silence- internally and publicly? Is something going on? She hasn’t been since at the office…

Messaging is major restructuring is taking place. People are who have not been laid off are being forced to change teams and learn new scopes of work. How come CDW did not report this under the WARN Act?
