How can they lay off AMs, while turning around and immediately adding new AMs? It seems like what might be really happening is CDW is trying to re-set the payroll with lower paid employees and foregoing the experience, expertise and customer... — read more 

In protest of our atrocious leadership and most recent layoffs, I donated all of my CDW apparel to the homeless in my area. Now I feel really terrible about it. Not about giving away company swag. No obviously not. I feel bad that these poor people... — read more 

Management is rolling out a brand-new "Competency Model" framework for upcoming mid-year reviews that completely changes the rules of our jobs right after a massive layoff. They are introducing a mandatory "AI Competency" metric, requiring everyone... — read more 

After five mass RIFs in less than four years and many other unacknowledged workforce reductions, the only way for coworkers to achieve any transparency or fairness is through collective bargaining. I’m shocked that the Teamsters haven’t already... — read more 

I see people on this board agreeing about how bad things are, but in real life I work with people who don't seem to care. Nobody seems too worried about layoffs, the secrecy, or the eroding culture. How can anyone not be angry about this?

It's a new week, layoffs are behind us (at least for now), but the atmosphere still feels heavy. I have a feeling productivity is down as well. I certainly still can't concentrate fully on work. You can only push people so much before it starts... — read more 

I've read through dozens of posts going back years and CDW has a pattern of laying off older workers. I will be calling an attorney regarding my recent layoff but is there an opportunity for collective action here?

Were there any layoffs in operations/configs? Are they even ever going to hire on new contractors? I've known contractors that have been here for 2-3 years.....

People seem more enraged, more passionate about cuts and mistakes that are being made. More critical of leaders. Loyalty has completely evaporated. It feels different. What do you think?

For those of you left behind, narcissist Leahy is going to hang on (at least) until the end of the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad. Good luck keeping the lights on while ducking the ever lowering deck of the CDW tractor! Remember how the company... — read more 

I'm trying to understand how this works. When someone gets laid off, do they leave that same day or is there a period where they're expected to stay on? New here, if it's not obvious, and nobody on my team was affected this time, but I know it won't... — read more 

I'm not saying there won't be, but I can't find any official info to indicate anything other than we're done. Do people know something I don't or is it just anxiety talking?

Came to CDW from elite enterprise tech sales (Oracle, Gartner, Dell, AT&T) thinking the partner side would be a great pivot. It is easily the worst, most disorganized company I’ve ever seen. Complete political mess, overworked staff, underpaid... — read more 

Independence day is special this year. He's gone and the bullying stops. Nice to work withouT hIM !

I've seen two of the most valuable people on our team get shown the door while people who barely do anything keep their jobs. It makes no sense whatsoever. I'm not worried about them finding work elsewhere, but I am worried about what happens to the... — read more 

When Chris Leahy became CEO it was all downhill after that. Krasny was the best leader ever at CDW.

Does anyone know if those of us affected by this RIF on July 1st will be covered under the CDW medical insurance through end of July or are we officially without medical insurance now? This would be before COBRA is elected. How does this... — read more 

I hate this leadership and I hate this fu--ing company. Thanks for nothing.

These are not layoffs. They are mass firings of low talent hangers-on or irrelevant departmental deadweight that pretty much needed to go and probably wont be missed. Like MD or AR, or your coworker who never quite got it. Why does CDW do it this... — read more 

CDW let go of roughly 750 employees, with zero prior notice. I know that many are not getting 60 days of pay. Is this a violation of the WARN Act? Or is there some loophole related to remote work and multiple offices that CDW is able to use as a... — read more 

I heard that was the next group after TS was booted out.

Opening a thread to provide insights to those who have been impacted by the latest RIF at CDW. By now, we should have received our severance packages and the clock has begun for the review. Very clearly in the documentation, it states "you have been... — read more 

Half my team's gone. Who's expected to do their work? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say those of us left.

Sad thing is, even knowing this round is over I can't truly relax or be happy I survived, since we all know there'll be more before the end of the year. Working with the constant threat of layoffs is not good for our health, mental or physical... — read more 

Most of the people I know are 40 or above, and just a few in their 30s. That doesn't sit right with me.

what a joke, she blames a fast-changing "AI-first world" and the need to "invest in high-return opportunities" for wiping out 700+ jobs, but she forgot to mention who those high returns are actually for. Just two months ago, CDW’s board authorized... — read more 

I've seen ten posts today and they all ended the same way with even the same emojis used a bullet points. Odd they all have the exact same format. Example below. About me & what I’m looking for: 💼 I’m looking for Account Representative, Account... — read more 

Many of you may not know Tom, he was the CEO before Chris. He was a brilliant guy who focused on winning and judged you on performance and performance alone. Tom was no BS, and had the unique ability to completely destroy you with just one... — read more 

A friend from EBO said his team's manager gave them an all-clear. Is this company-wide?

I was performing, loyal and zero drama. I kept my head down, did my work and made great money for CDW. You? You are not performing, you are not keeping your head down, and you are bleeding cash for CDW. You are a disaster who ruins lives and an... — read more 

In the present leadership era, apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to drop a bo-b right before a holiday, and then make sure all VPs show out of office for the rest of the day so as not to be bothered by the peasants. Meanwhile, I’m sure they are... — read more 

I call bullsh-t. This is all about money and nothing else. Why else would they get rid of one of our best performers with impeccable record and decades of experience?

Basically, are we safe yet?

Is it the same as the last time? No changes?

If you are reading this, and you received the non-descript meeting invite from Coworker Services, I am so very sorry. Which department(s) are impacted - asking so we can rally around those being laid off.

Any word on the teams affected?

The rest of the tech world is now concerned about AI and its expense. Tokenmaxing is over. Industry is pivoting back to people. But what is CDW telling the street? That they will save 200M by using AI. Not likely, and late. What is CDW telling... — read more 

Get ready for independence from CDW day. If the past is an indicator of the future, Tuesday or Wednesday will be the day. If your boss or Director is ignoring you, that’s your number one sign to pack it up.
