See post from someone in HR saying they got layered off Friday. Small targeted layoff or impacts other groups?

Natural turnover is different than layoffs.
CDW used to have a 20-30% natural turnover.
What's happening now is unprecedented historically for CDW as these are all LAYOFFS.
They are also making certain moves to expedite normal turnover by making life difficult for everyone but themselves (I'm referring to leadership who aren't facing any pay cuts or harder daily work).
Thanks for playing.
One thing to consider. Approx 10-15% TO happens each year at most companies. Historically, sales orgs lose up 15% in normal to good times. With thousands in sales or other departments, you see hundreds leave on their own or by company decisions.
Do your job, do it well. If you enjoy it, stay, if not, leave. Come on people !
@n9 just a matter of time as they keep continuing the trim, who knows
@113 Touché! The past has a funny way of collecting its debts!
I think we need to distinguish between a round of layoffs and somebody choosing to fire somebody else (in this case, 2 people). CDW (and all companies) may part ways a Coworker now and then for different reasons. That is not considered a "layoff" or RIF.
@10p The marketing director ones just happened on a Monday…nice blindside!
@n9 They dug the hole, and they fell right into it.
I have never seen CDW do layoffs on Fridays. Layoffs are either Wednesdays or Thursdays.
@mj What's the lag time between these meetings and the axe coming down on us?
Top marketing leaders were let go today quietly. Seems to be happening in pockets.
Management Meeting in Chicago Wednesday and Thursday morning for directors mid-level managers
heard September and October but nothing has happened yet. At this point it feels like everyone's holding on with the fear of every 2 months is another RIF. Its extra unnecessary stress for people
More coming. That is all I can say.
I know some CWS folks were technically let go/notified in July with a deferred date to leaving in August which then got extended to last week when they were formally separated.
I've heard there was an expected reduction in CWS this month.
@ag sometimes they’re quiet, like the one in February.
I saw the post too but nothing has come through the pipeline. No announcements or anything.
