I worked with Amplified before CDW acquired it. What was the impact on that group and CDW Education?

BTW a company wide email wasn't sent by the CEO today. Late in the day we get a cryptic email saying hard decisions had to be made for CDW to move forward. The board needs to act fast and get CDW back on track! What's falling faster sales or moral. — read more 

anyone from ITS affected and on this site? how was it handled? thoughts?

How big was the hit on the Data group and who was affected? I left in April 2023. For the folks still there, good luck. For the ones departing, I wish you an easy transition and hope you find something even better. Good luck.

And funnily enough, they’ve been letting go of the skilled, the experienced, the valuable.

Not everybody laid off is 50+ but to me it seems that the majority of those affected are. Which means that this is not about performance in any way, shape, or form. I just hope that those who were cut decide to sue. There's a reason why age... — read more 

This may not have been the dream job, but these are tough times. I truly hope you all find something better soon. Being laid off is absolutely not a reflection of your worth or your skills. We’re all just a number to them.

Layoffs at CDW were confirmed this morning via a company-wide email from the CEO. Described as “modest reductions” across select functions, with some roles in Canada impacted as well. Managers started individual virtual meetings today with affected... — read more 

5am CT this morning. Email from Waddell and Kirby about cuts in ITS and DV.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why billable delivery resources are being required to attend Power Play sales meetings?

Something is happening right now. Yesterday leadership received messages to be in Chicago by last night for meetings today.

Funny how those yearly surveys don't seem to come out anymore isn't it?

This is a follow-up to being the average middle-aged white guy at CDW; the message is that your services are no longer needed. It doesn't matter whether you have experience or Channel contacts. Executive leadership has always played around with... — read more 

I think it is exciting for us to be a sponsor of Team USA, but I am very concerned about the cost and the fact we are three years away from the Olympics. According to Copilot, the lower end of that type of sponsorship is $50M. Seems that is a... — read more 

No, Chris is not leaving, and CDW just made a large acquisition with the word on the street being that it is under- performing, so probably not that either. My guess is that new executive leadership is being hired under Chris to raise the bar on the... — read more 

Why is nobody considering that option? What am I missing?

Anyone know what the big news next week is?

I've been hearing rumors that CDW verifies the job title and duration and rehire status. What else are they verifying? Salary?

Ge-z, we just let go of 3 long standing CDW people that put in like 85 years in total and created tons of programs, teams, developed people, etc. and we gave them like 2 sentence send offs. That email leaves you with 100 open questions and very few... — read more 

I think we are safe from another round of layoffs for now. While CDW might exit under performers individually (as they should), they won't need to have a round of layoffs with good numbers. That is what this site is about, right: Staying up to date... — read more 

My gut tells me I have no choice but to accept the severance they offered, but has anyone else challenged it in court or negotiated more?

It’s become a daily occurrence at this point. Meanwhile, the EC dinosaurs don’t have a clue how to lead this organization. The downfall of CDW is Leahy’s legacy.

Are any of you concerned with the occasional over-billing our customers? Is this happening in your departments too?

I left CDW in sales in January after 6 years with the company. I spent the better part of 3 years fighting with management about resources like a ATAE that was added to my accounts and took a large % of my commission but did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to... — read more 

I'll keep this brief. First, Chris Leahy isn't the ideal CEO for CDW. How does that person continue in this role with all the distractions she has created? Second, there have been miscues regarding company acquisitions, and CDW overpaid; they never... — read more 

Vote accordingly

I hear internal rumors and everyone seems very unsettled. Is there any new information about what's going on? Bonus structure was changed to being out of everyone's controls in favor of the shareholders. What other changes do you see coming?

Who'd the F seriously thinks this company is ran to achieve success for all? https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/cdw-stock-touches-52week-low-at-16257-amid-market-shifts-93CH-3952177

Hearing rumors about a 3 day office return. Are these soft layoffs?

It’s a bit depressing to look at LinkedIn and see that several colleagues who were laid off during my tenure at CDW. I’ve been laid off in their new roles as well. Each of them, of course, is over the age of 50. I think I would just say sc--w it and... — read more 

Way to go! It must be the uncertainty in the market. It can’t be the antiquated business model, the inept leadership or the politics that drive the best people away. The hyperscalers are growing double digits but that’s all just luck.

This place needs to follow suit. This nails the managers I had, particularly the last 5-6 years, right on the head. Throwing themselves into the sales cycle or other sales processes when they add zero value to actually moving the deal or closing... — read more 

In the event that you may be part of the upcoming layoff, disconnect your computer every night from the world wide web. In the event you are let go you will see the disconnection of your outlook on your phone. They will not be capable of accessing... — read more 

Where do you locate your employment contract on the portal? For the lofe of me I can't. Thx!

I don’t think it’s Chris L anymore, communication via scripted short emails and pre recorded messages seem to be the norm. Who is running the place anymore internally

Someone mentioned they thought CDW would try to go private again. I wonder if this is a first step? 750 million is 50k per per coworker at 15k coworkers worldwide.

One of the main reasons I’ve stayed at CDW for as long as I have was the culture and I feel removal of this program is probably the last straw for me. Over the last 5 or so years the culture has changed with the CEO change and the acquisitions, but... — read more 

Is this a sign of things to come?
