Thread regarding CDW layoffs

CDW India is Booming

When I randomly open Linkedin...

All I see is notices from existing CDW coworkers in the States posting about either being let go or new coworkers posting "thanks" for being hired in India (no knock to those in India as that'll help cut costs to boost our stock price)...

But is leadership aware of the optics for existing customers? Might as well move Customer Relations & Support as well as Purchasing and all other backbone to India as well. Might as well go all the way at this point since they started this with AR/AP.

Not saying I want a bulk of US coworkers to be let go but leadership seems confused on sitting on the fence on what to do and to what extent.

Guess those highly paid consultants aren't worth the money if they are scared to fully go all the way with thier outsourcing and overseas worker strategy.

Also I noticed India coworkers are getting nice Apple notebooks when I'm still using my brick of an HP notebook that's seen better days as my fingers bang out sales on those plastic keys. Give me a Panasonic Toughbook 😂

Working with India teams is a pain in the a** they have no business context for urgent requests and think they can just chill. Takes twice as long time to get anything done with time differences

@fh Smart plan. What kind of team? Desktop support, physecops(camera ops), RMA' or? Those would be the smart choices. THEN run the entire company.

Plan: MK go to CDW India and run small team to refresh skills for 2 years. Then come back and run company. Everyone wins.

They probably should consider outsourcing the C suite over there.

They really got it a-s backwards as the guy from sirius who is pushing india replacement came originally from Conagra Enterprise technical and the cag stock is in serious decline.
Its a mastercraft lesson that those who don't learn from the past are destined to repeat it.

@an
They also go techs/engineers and specialists there now as they are erasing a lot of the team brought over with Sirius.

Im.assuming because they didn't want to pay the Sirius people what they had been getting paid. I don't want to say you get what you pay for but here we are with our shares being down so much from the peak.

It's also because our d-mb leaders didn't hire in a ratio of 1:1

They were cheap and literally hired one AR/AP contact to do the work of maybe 10 US coworkers.

One India AR rep did a Teams call with me (AM) to get invoices resolved and he shared his screen and he had over 6000 brand new unopened emails in his inbox and they were flowing in like a waterfall.

I blame leadership. They fail at executing everything except paying themselves including still giving themselves bonuses.

I quit in 2025 as I saw the writing on the wall and couldn't close my eyes to the dumpster fire turning into Chernobyl.

they can't outsource completely because the workers over there cannot handle any semblance of a problem. Send an email asking what color the sky is and they are looping in US coworkers to advise
