Thread regarding CDW layoffs

Cdw launching new competency model

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 to use AI tools daily and even "configure simple agents" just to be rated as "Effective" in their roles. This is a transparent move to force a smaller, surviving workforce to use automation to absorb all the leftover work from our departed colleagues. By rushing this out by August 31 alongside mid-year "goal adjustments," management is building a paper trail that redefines what it means to do your job well. If you don't adopt these new automated workflows, they can mark you as underperforming even if you are doing your core job perfectly, creating a loop hole for them to shift to performance-based terminations instead of layoffs so they can dodge paying severance down the road. Just when you think they can’t go any lower, they now want to take away severance pay

@OP do you mind elaborating? I have some coworkers who talk big game, and have been scoring low on certain things. I have exceeded everyone, and I get no praise. Some of my coworkers scored low and my manager gave them praise to make their way up. From that example alone, I doubt anyone who scores low will get go. Its who you know and who you su-k up too. If I am on the next lay offs, I will post my score and theirs. I have self respect for myself and a brain, that I do not need to d-mb myself down to su-k up like they do. My work and my scores show it.

I think the c-suite finally caught wind of this site, you can tell and they’re trying to save face on here by making a ton of posts

I’m glad they’re seeing everything that they’re actually doing and what majority of the employees think about all of them

@ep

Perhaps you could use it to help track down your brain.
