We lost so many people, and we were barely making it before layoffs. We all are expected to take on the workload after those who left. Why would anyone put any extra effort after just witnessing who and how was affected by layoffs? We lost a couple... — read more 

Just had a chat with a teammate who got let go (~10yr vet). He said our sales director was apparently cold and robotic in exit meeting. Could literally care less and just wanted to read his script and move on. No “thank you for all you’ve done for... — read more 

For those who have been laid-off, network hard and look at least twice a day on all job boards. The US Department of Labor is reporting low unemployment rates, not really. The rate is calculated based on who is filing not who still needs a job but... — read more 

I hope those who were laid off land on their feet soon. I also hope for those who are still here that the vibe at work and generally bad management will not get even worse. This particular round of layoffs was an exceptionally disappointing display... — read more 

Another round of CDW layoffs have taken place this month after the company reported in July decreased net sales and flat gross profit for its second quarter. The IT channel giant once again isn’t commenting, but there’s plenty of chatter about the... — read more 

I didn't dislike my job until the latest round of layoffs. The management has mishandled things to the point that I can't see myself staying here because I don't trust them not to run the entire place into the ground. They showed how little they... — read more 

This whole thing was timed terribly. All management needed to do was wait 60-90 days, and all the Sirius people waiting for stock to vest would have emptied out. By January 1, they would have had more departures than people they laid off. They would... — read more 

Poor management, lack of job accountability and overall claptrap communication of why coworkers are laid off is unethical. When the CEO reports Q1/Q2 losses, that is the reason. Not employees with performance issues. When managers don't document... — read more 

Some very good coworkers were let go due to failed revenue issues and overall leadership mismanagement. This layoff is the same as all layoffs...looking for the highest paid If that doesn't work, then look for those with the most tenure, PTO is... — read more 

Two days after my layoff! Today, I signed the release form and shipped back my equipment. It's sad, but I couldn't stand having it on my desk any longer! Since Wednesday, I've applied for three jobs recommended on my LinkedIn profiles and have two... — read more 

Severance was more than I was making anyways. Happy to be out

I don't want to sound insensitive to those who lost their jobs, but I can't understand why they didn't ask for volunteers before involuntary layoffs. Many people are unhappy. I know for a fact I'm not the only one. Now I'm pi---d off that I wasn't... — read more 

The blame for CDW’s layoff woes isn’t on SIrius, it’s on CDW Leadership for paying $2.5B for the ill-timed acquisition along with poor integration planning and execution. Along with that the tools/systems/platform integration takes a long time and... — read more 

…and it was a mess from day one of the merger. It took over 2 years to integrate the teams which is insanely incompetent. During that time they decided they would cancel our 5% bonus, and converted 10% of our salary to bonus, which was effectively a... — read more 

With prior layoffs they were done in 1 day. For those remaining, you can relax a bit but brush up your resume and keep it on deck just in case. Another poor/soft Q4 and Q1 and you’re probably looking at another round of layoffs in April 2025... — read more 

Having worked in backbone at CDW, I can tell you what will eventually be CDW’s downfall. First off, the leadership is sub-par. While I understand the need to drive sales, CDW leadership has not investing in systems that will reduce redundancies and... — read more 

Was hit by the layoff yesterday, didn’t get so much as a teams message from my manager thanking me for my time, saying good luck, nothing. Just insane to me, shows how much anybody here gives a damn about their employees.

Or there is more coming this week?

Some of the 'Backbone' VPs should admit they are more interested in building their own fiefdoms. If they are interested doing their jobs, the documentation across the org would be current. There has been re-org after re-org since last year with no... — read more 

For those of us left behind how are your direct leadership chain handling the communication? What’s the spin in your all hands?

Based on credible inside sources, layoffs are happening today

All kinds of rumors are floating around. Whatever the number may turn out to be, it seems pretty clear it will be huge.

Did they started sending emails to impacted people or yet to start

An announcement from CEO went out at 5:00 am regarding reduction in workforce. CDW co-workers should expect this to be substantial 2,500+. The Sirius acquisition never worked out. That falls on the front door of the CEO as a failure. Most of the... — read more 

Wholesale layoffs. Good people are being let go. The only criteria that I can see applied is that if you are experienced and skilled, therefore more expensive than the others, you are more likely to be booted. Which, as a rule, means that they are... — read more 

Layoffs announced today. Sad day for our coworkers. When is this leadership going to take accountability??? 3rd round of layoffs, another miss for numbers, Seems to me the problem is how this company is being ran and that starts at the TOP!!!! .. — read more 

Not a surprise - what areas were affected?

Typically competitors recruit from each other. However, since CDW doesn’t have directly comparable competitors, I’m struggling to come up with a list. What companies hire from CDW?

You don’t want to be on a list to be first cut because of a timesheet!

Im curious, with the next layoff being for sure, how many folks are just camping for severance ? Looking at the changes in leadership, it seems like its the least useful people jockeying for roles and promotions. The coworkers that I know are good... — read more 

Got another job. Leaving CDW after I take all my vacation. Not even giving notice. They wouldn’t do me the courtesy so why should I?!?!

Within 35-40 days there will almost certainly be a selective CDW layoff. Before the holidays, and around earnings time so cost reductions can be announced on the call to soften the likely earnings miss and shore up the remaining employee morale. The... — read more 

Y’all! CDW filed a form 8-K with the SEC AND made a tender offer. When both a Form 8-K and a tender offer are involved, it usually signals that the company is making a significant move that affects its stock or shareholder structure. CDW investors... — read more 

Productivity is down significantly. It's like people can't be bothered anymore. I guess if you treat employees like cr-p for years, this is the result.

Should we expect anything before the end of the year?

Anyone know what kind of severance CDW would offer if they did layoffs?

There are 4 major signs that point to an imminent layoff at CDW. Sign 1, cost cutting via a new the PTO policy will yield a large pickup in the financials and the timing is very suspicious. A policy like this should normally be implemented on a... — read more 

After last week’s FlexTO announcement, how many of you are considering leaving CDW, by either finding another job or retiring? I think CDW’s strategy is to reduce the workforce the easiest way possible…by having folks self-exit
