Target Corp exec on layoffs - "our future model doesn't support the current size of the team". What does this even mean? Is he a redundant resource here?

Tata Consulting Services (TCS) is in a best position here - they were milking Target for a while and will continue to do so in the future because Target cannot get rid of TCS - TCS is so deep in key things it's impossible to let them go without... — read more
