#morale

Wow congrats to everyone! We are back! My stock is on fire, and layoffs are behind us for now. Congrats to Chris and the leadership team. We love you, way to stick it out. All weather greatness!

Quite clear the head nodders and associated expats with multiple passports of dubious origin are on the kool aid. This isn’t a drill Abdul, this is real! Get with it man.

Head in sand isn’t a policy.

So no one in Abby’s board has the guts to tell her, “Everyone’s miserable right now…your decision is damaging the company?”

Another notification could arrive at any time, and we're left wondering whether we'll be the next ones called in. Constant uncertainty like this is no way to treat a workforce.

We get all the usual talk about how important people are to the business, followed by another round of job cuts. Do they take us for id--ts?

Why are you ki-ling yourself trying to meet expectations that keep changing? They'll run you into the ground and then let you walk away without a dime.

Or let me rephrased that, I used to really like my job, but now that has been overshadowed by constant layoffs with no end in sight. We had layoffs before, this is not new, but at least once the round was done, we knew it was done. How are we supposed to deal with the constant axe hanging over our heads?

Is it just me, or are others noticing how everybody is becoming genuinely mean for no good reason? I know nobody likes working here and the stress is sometimes unbearable, but why do some use that as an excuse to bully their coworkers? We're all in this together, for goodness sake.

I've completely checked out, and I don't feel guilty about it anymore. My workday is about getting through the hours, not proving how dedicated I am to a company that gives nothing back. Some days there's barely enough worth doing to fill the time. That's becoming more common, and I couldn't care less.

Employees dropping dead, equipment from 50 years ago dying, the phones DEAD, calendars empty, ticket list empty, EMPTY promises from leadership, all talk no action. Dead and rotting. Please surplus me already before I die of BOREDOM.

And to the shareholders:
Don’t believe them, they say they’re doing all this work to modernize the company but they’re NOT. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Below the VP level nothing is happening and no one cares. SELL SELL SELL.

Hey leaders - just wanna tell you that it's not cool to lay off right before the holiday season.

We need new President and VPs. Time they paid employees properly, leaders capable of focussing on growth instead of constant cuts.
10 years of this old Management has failed DXC, new leaders required people are fed up.

Ram - glad you have time for LinkedIn lectures. How about you spend that time cluing your employees in on what’s going on at company you are getting paid millions to lead.

Better yet, you and Ramon get canned. You can get your golden parachutes, write a book of all your “successes” none based in actual performance, and go sit on a board and tell them how to outsource American jobs, destroy morale, and have absolutely no idea what the mission is.

I have been employed for over 20 years at VZ. The culture has changed and they don’t care about you. If you are worried about losing your job look outside. There are lots of jobs out there you just have to look! Or if you don’t care stay with Vz and spin the bottle and hope it doesn’t land on you. All the talent will leave and Vz will be left with the bottom of the barrel…..serve them right

Verizon has a horrible work culture, I have worked with some of the most hateful coworkers. People who have been here 20 plus years who treat others with so much hostility and disregard. I don’t even feel they think I am human. Tired of being in tears while threatening to lay off every other week while I work so hard and tenured employees do the bare minimum and pass their work off onto me without so much as a thank you

Anyone still expecting a miracle here is wasting their time. Get your resume ready and leave before management makes things even worse.

I actually have to stop myself from getting too enthusiastic about projects here. What's the point when the company has made it so clear how little employees matter? People give their best and still get treated as expendable whenever it suits management. CDW can have the effort it pays for, nothing more.

Apparently, the answer to unhappy employees is to make their lives even more miserable. Keep pushing people until nobody wants to work here, then blame them for having no motivation.

Because apparently that's the only answer management has. I'm sick of working somewhere that treats people's livelihoods as an easy way to fix its problems.

I open my laptop every morning and wonder why I'm still doing this. The only thing stopping me from handing in my notice is knowing I need the income.

How many are looking to leave? I thought I'd retire here, but the last year or so has changed my mind. I'll be leaving as soon as I find an alternative, if I don't get laid off first.

I feel like that whole meeting was a fluff fest trying to convince everyone things are fine. Announcing right at the end that there would be another VRIF was the most important part IMO.

It’s only Tuesday and I’m exhausted from driving. The vibe is miserable. There is no point to coming in to talk to people in other sites.

Ram and Tara trying hard to sound positive and highlighting it is not just Pep going through this. Ram sounds and looks nervous trying to inspire. Looks like the changes coming will impact him! Sounds like he is signing off from PepsiCo.

Is cutting 20% so I’d say that’s an ominous outlook for everyone
Really a u c k s when companies get that grossly wealthy on our backs and labor then greed out for top execs and then cry poor mouth to employees.
IBM used to never layoff they even had engineers pairing just to keep them on the payroll.
Long gone are those days of loyalty.
House of cards at the house of fidelity???
We shall see.

Rumors circulating within N&T suggest another round of layoffs could be coming as soon as November 19, 2026. According to the rumors in the office, contractors are not currently expected to be affected.

The reasoning seems familiar: embrace AI, reduce costs, and improve shareholder value. Meanwhile, employees are left wondering whether their jobs will survive the next round of cuts.

There are also rumors of another round of workforce reductions beginning in Q1 2027.

At this point, it feels like an endless cycle of layoffs, with employees left wondering when the next round will come. What a wonderful holiday gift for the workforce. Unfortunately, for those who have to endure this uncertainty year after year, the constant stress, anxiety, and declining morale are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

Employee morale across the company seems to be at an all-time low. It's hard to stay motivated and focused on customers when the threat of another round of cuts is always hanging over your head.

We are at the constant threat of layoffs, it takes its toll. Morale, trust, and job security continue to deteriorate, and it's getting harder to see how this approach benefits anyone beyond the shareholders.

I'm part of the talent acquisition team that's been laid on today 11/2/2026. There were 3 of us who were laid off. Also confirmed - 30 people on the IT team along with folks in financial aid, student services, adjunct faculty. Morale is low. Meanwhile they will announce that business is good and those that remain will get their end of year bonus. And of course all the c-suite folks get $$$
UTI is opening 3 new campuses next year. Who's left to hire these people?

Did anyone realize this is our last stock together as a company and its being paid out over the next several years! Rather than being straightforward they send some BS email that we getting it but yet we cant withdraw it now i see why all these leaders leaving like flies lol honestly being a manager now a days is not even worth it anymore all the stress and pressure

We were crying all day. How are you getting work done?

Are we seriously only being given Aetna as an option? This place gets more disgusting . I remember when we would have a cafeteria full of companies that came to give you detail and now this d-mb and dwindled even that down to sh-t. But hey the price is higher too so

At this point they should move head quarters to India. It’s becoming extremely frustrating and slow working with this new model where everything is either being transferred to India or AI.

Was so damning they’ll never release it?
I mean it seems to me it’s gone into the deep dark recesses of digital file cabinets stashed in some digital no man’s land warehouse.
I’m thinking beginning of the new year, and I might be wrong, there’ll be a ton of job openings? Anyone think similarly on any of this?

The most passive-aggressive sh-t from the top. They didn't like what we said and it's payback time, bi--h.

Got laid off in July during that round of RIF and while I was going through my closet and kitchen today to donate some items to Goodwill I found so much useless CDW stuff that was given to me during my tenure there.

A full set of copper Moscow mule mugs that have the CDW logo on them. Multiple vests with the CDW logo. CDW shirts (which I know are standard for conferences, but I have several of the same kind that were always just given to me even when I said I didn’t need any more). A standing desk pad. Detachable keyboards. Mugs. Cups.

So much useless junk, and I wonder how much money was spent on it while they’re doing round after round of layoffs and reductions in force.

My team lost people who meant a lot to me in the last round, and now I'm left trying to manage the fallout. I'm struggling with the stress and can't stop wondering why I was one of the ones who stayed.

You can feel the change in the way people talk about the company. There's no excitement about new projects, and if you ask anybody about the future, they tend to just shrug. People are doing enough to get through the day, but the willingness to give anything extra has pretty much disappeared. I wouldn't be surprised if hundreds are already planning their exits.
