How many KEY employees do you really need. Feed there ego with pay and glory but what do they really do for DXC? How many KEY employees do you really need? Time to put the deep filters on and start cutting for the next quarter's profit target. Get rid of those new business folks. They are not signing the business and renewal business like they should. Look real hard at the SG&A it's always a great place to start for the 4th quarter profit targets. Feel the pain. The recession is right around the corner. Yahoo.

There aren’t any “key” employees. Yes there are some with inflated egos who think they are key. But in all reality, you are all just a herd of sows slopping at the same trough.
I wonder if Mike (Mickey) Lawry is the one who started this thread. Sounds like him. Let's just keep cutting people (who needs them in this kind of business?) until we woould have the ideal company: one that has just the CEO (aka as President, aka as Chairman of the Board).
If it wasn't Mike, then this person has a great future as an executive and future CEO.
They need to lay off everyone, then DXC will be pure profit, right?
I define key employees as those who are assigned to customer accounts (sometimes multiple) with 90% billable hours. Most of those people are doing the work of multiple employees due to WFR's and are told that they can't bill their actual hours (100+ hours per week) to customers since there are caps in the contracts as to what they can bill. These people are being laid off regardless of revenue generated.
I worked on customer accounts with 100% billable hours and 100+ hours per week and was still on WFR lists as were my peers in the same category. Management does not care. The only KEY employee that matters is ML and how much he can make before it all goes under. Until that KEY employee is WFR'd by the Board, there is no logic or common business sense.
Agree on the PMO and OCIO though, they did not add anything to the accounts besides extra overhead and made it more difficult to deliver for customers.
Both need to go. If Key employees can't keep the business and streamline internal organization then boot there arses. How many Key employees do you really need. Overpaid, underworked and complain. Key folks are still there even the so called great performers. They know folks at the right level to continue to evade being cut. CUT CUT CUT.
Do you mean KEY personnel supporting DXC or KEY personnel supporting clients? Laying off the latter is counter-productive.
Maybe you define KEY employees as the last ones in the building who have the keys to lock up when they leave.
Start? Key people have been going for a long time.
