Mass layoffs have been common among tech giants. This time, Apple has announced that it will fire some employees and managers from its internal teams.
Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg journalist and one of the most knowledgeable people about Apple, said that the cuts are in the retail area, more precisely in the so-called development teams and preservation. These positions are responsible for building and maintaining Apple Stores and other branded facilities.

According to people with access to internal information, those fired from these positions may try to enter similar positions in the company. However, if they do not succeed, they will have compensation of four months of salary, which will alleviate the situation a little.
Some management positions will also be terminated. As a result, dismissed employees may be rehired as individual contributors, as the company calls it.
If they are not, they will receive compensation, but it will be less than that of the development and preservation teams.
Tech giants lay off en masse
Unlike Meta, Microsoft, Google and amazon, Apple had taken less aggressive measures, such as hiring freezes and bonus pay changes.
However, what is known is that the number of employees laid off by Apple must be small, especially when compared to the tens of thousands turned away by Meta, Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
Thus, one of the reasons for this contrast between the apple and the other companies is the most conservative management in relation to risks, without “crazy” investments or unsustainable growth.
That's because Apple doesn't invest much effort in bolder projects. The two best known are the virtual reality headset and the branded car.
Before the pandemic, investment in the brand's car was cut by a few hundred people, as there was no way for the project to develop.
