good advice!
@vc SEC as in sec.gov, or something else?
It’s 7:11 am and……. Our two new Sec racists bosses still su-k!
This is great advice for everyone, regardless of their employment at CDW or not. These are interesting times. Take care of yourselves, friends.
when will the next round happen?
@a4 I wonder if we have the same friend. My friend in security safety tells me too. They have to sign an NAD agreement , or something like that but they all talk in that group and they tell me. I knew of thid last one too and was lucky I wasn’t on the list. He said his new boss has the biggest mouth of all of his bosses before so they find out sh-t fast. So I will post it too when I find out. He said he knows it is coming because they always assign a name to the layoffs that starts with the word project and then a weird name. It sounds like they spy on those on the list too and start looking and locking down the email. He said that they work with IT and can get any emails you deleted over the years. It sounds like big brother sh-t to me.
They been runnin a train on us, fam. I’m done getting trained.
You don't want to get laid off. A coworker with a high technical skill level got laid off in July. That coworker just landed a job. Take advantage of the training CDW is giving you, have your resume up-to-date, stop spending on things you don't need and save your money, so in case you do get laid off, you'll be prepared to pay your bills for at least 5-6 months while you're looking for a job. Some people are lucky to find a job right away, but others are in the market 6-12 months before landing a job. Stay focused on today, don't worry about tomorrow. Everyone is a number and you never know when it will be called. Will you be ready when your number is called?
@a4 thank you for that
Use your time here to get trained, and enhance your industry relationships. Those 2 things plus your hard work will do more for your career than anCDW logo ever will. And then you will not have to worry about some sh-t-ty layoff from a sh-t-ty company.
I spoke to my friend in security and they have not been given any list of names on a coming layoff. He pronised to tell me like he has every time in the last two years when it is coming. Everyone just chill and I will post it on here when I hear from him. He said they know before it’s done so they can do their thing.
Why not both?
Worry about being laid off before getting a better job.
