Walking around the place with so much positivity and high hopes. None of them have any clue that the rest of us are bitter, angry and mostly dead inside because this company su-ks.

Just heard the Bellevue and Portland offices are being closed at the end of July? Any other offices affected or just those two?

Why are there so many Sirius sellers leaving, or left, the company? CDW is hemorrhaging all the 20 year customer relationships? As a CDW seller, I was assigned a lot of these accounts, that came with very high quotas and they don't want to do... — read more 

CDW isn't what it used to be. Worse culture, worse pay, with constant cuts on top of it. So why do you stay? For me, it's health insurance. That's the only reason.

I'm approaching 50 and would like to work another 15 years before retiring. Given the current environment, I'm concerned that if I were laid off in my 50s, finding a comparable role could take much longer than it would today. Would you recommend... — read more

Hopefully there won't be any layoffs in the near future, but there are some things you can do to be prepared in advance in the event you are impacted by a layoff. Do not keep anything personal on your work PC. Usually, when you are laid-off, you... — read more 

The big list is being finalized as we speak. Get your resumes dusted off, your lawyers dressed up, your data downloaded and your bathing suits on for a nice, forced summer vacation. Much Love, Boston Consulting Group and your Failed Leadership

The Wall Street Journal evaluates how leading US corps stack up in 6 areas: AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience and agility. CDW ranks #145 overall with an Overall Score of 54.6, placing it 11th out of 21... — read more 

I wonder if any leadership reads anything on this site (director and above)? I do see various financial analyst articles about CDW touch on info that was mentioned here. I also noticed Google AI include some of the info from posts on this site as... — read more 

I feel sad, guilty and burdened. I didn’t choose HR as a career to ruin lives or to help a greedy, mismanaged company do bad deeds. This is not meant to scare and I am fearful to post as I am under NDA but I need to help if I can. In a few weeks... — read more 

The head of tragedy. The sultan of swirl. The iron lung. Fired.

I'm new here and I'd really like to know if this is really an expectation?

Was just recently alerted to a former coworker who posted to LinkedIn about being let go. This wasn't the normal LinkedIn post just letting people know about the employment change. This coworker was fired for asking an "Unprofessional" question... — read more 

Great job Chris and team. Still poor fundamentals but have to celebrate the good moves too! In at 98.

I have noticed a pattern that is driving me crazy. The people who are best at dodging work and shifting their responsibilities onto others seem to be the ones getting promoted. At the same time, the dedicated employees burn out and leave, and... — read more 

Have to give credit when due. Our stock rebounded last week. Is that a sign of recovery or only one week of positive gains. I am not a financial guru so I am asking.

Does anyone know from past layoffs if full time contractors were typically the first to be cut? Seems likely but wasn’t sure if that was the practice here.

Seems to be the way we are going... Although kind of shocked it didn't happen before earnings this quarter. So other than the C-suite where should these layoffs be focused? Do you think it will touch every department like the first one, a few... — read more 

If you're looking outside of CDW, that is.

I feel nauseous.

$1 billion share buyback announced while they have $500 million they still need to repurchase from the last buyback. At the same time...the leadership team has wipes out the last 6 years of growth and gains. They are basically gaslighting... — read more 

What are the chances CDW goes private again or gets bought out by a larger company or private equity group?

Everyone who is an active board member should be immediately fired Chris Leahy Virginia Addicott Lynda M. Clarizio Anthony R. Foxx Kelly J. Grier Marc E. Jones David W. Nelms Joseph R. Swedish Sanjay Mehrotra Donna F. Zarcone

I've been avoiding this for months. I told myself things would get better, that I could wait it out. But after the last round of reorgs happened and the latest gossip about more cuts, I've accepted that I need to leave. I really didn't want to go... — read more 

As an owner, I know this is a good company with kind, and capable people who are victims. The teams are carrying a huge burden, and living in fear, but the real issue is leadership. The company has become top heavy with expensive SVPs, slow to act... — read more 

Soooo many posts on LinkedIn in recent weeks of coworkers across multiple departments who’ve been here 5/10/15+ years leaving for better opportunities. Proactively leaving and not waiting for next round of layoffs in case they get hit next. Good for... — read more 

"Leahy said the multi-year cost management and efficiency ‘Geared For Growth’ initiative has paved the way for the AI-first focus of the plan going forward." Okay, spill the beans...what is this, did they roll out CoPilot?

CDW stock dropped 20% today after Q1 2026 earnings revealed a troubling disconnect: strong revenue growth of 9.2% to $5.68B, but shrinking margins. Gross margin fell from 21.6% to 21.0%, and operating income missed estimates by 18%. The market’s... — read more 

We have Simon, the Mission CEO now. He is on the senior leadership team so at least we have a smart person in charge of things around here. I think the whole cloud thing is really going to finally take off!

Like we said on our last post, you fed us sh-t again! This is the 2nd bad choice who was made our lead and forced on us in a row.

I heard 11 people left the same team and went to Pallera.

They brought in our new boss from Walgreens and his boss is also from Walgreens. We kept an open mind but he is a ja----s and fake a--hole! And we will have to score our reviews with good grades since they can tell who scored them and how we... — read more 

Joined as a contractor earlier this year and was just let go. Was told it’s a reduction in workforce. I joined because it was a one year contract and they sold me on being converted 6 months down the line. Devastating but life goes on. Just another... — read more
