Several employees took to LinkedIn to disclose they have been sacked.

"Sad day! My employment at CDW has come to an end with today's announcements of economic layoffs at CDW! I will be looking for a new position within the Cloud/IT Management space!" a CDW employee posted.

Another wrote: "It's been a difficult day today. CDW has announced company-wide layoffs due to a tough tech economy and unfortunately, I have been impacted. I am looking for a new position within the Azure Cloud/IT space".

CDW expects first quarter net sales of about $5.1 billion, well below the estimates of $5.28 billion.

"Today was the end of one chapter for me and the beginning of another. CDW laid off a bunch of people today and I was one of them. I look forward to what is next," wrote another sacked employee.
