Thread regarding CDW layoffs

The malaise and bleeding will continue until (at the earliest) July 31, 2028

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 lifecycle works:

  1. Founder/Engineer – Builds a great product (Krasny)
  2. Salesperson – Figures out how to sell it and grows revenue.
  3. Professional Manager (MBA) – Scales the organization and optimizes operations (Edwardson)
  4. Accountant/CFO – Focuses on efficiency, margins, and cost control (Richards)
  5. Lawyer – Tries to manage the lawsuits, regulations, and decline (Leahy) <== You are here

Connelly may be a bigger problem. She fu---d up CWS and then blamed it on the person who took her place. The division was already created when she came in and promoted a very robust and incompetent project manager and put other unqualified coworkers in higher roles. The exit of talent begun in her department while she was there as did our unity with most of us. She was also a puppet for the head attorney in the company. Now she is fu--ing up my best friends department. They all feel like we did when she was sent to us without a shred of any experience. She leaned on that lackluster fool to lead us out of this and it only became worse. Our GC, IT, and Connelly should be run out of dodge or next round, those of us that stayed may be next because the situation won't improve.

Yup. A big giant "fu-k you" to Leahy and her stupid hoop earrings, Connelly, and the rest of them. Getting laid off right before the 4th of July holiday was terrible and I know of so many others who were also laid off too. No wonder Leahy's ex-husband was going on multiple message boards years ago and talking about her...he pegged her as a person of ill character back then and it seems things haven't changed!
