APPLE开始裁员，先从retail 员工开始

Layoffs in some of Apple's retail channels have begun

Andrew Orr's AvatarAndrew Orr | Jan 20, 2023



AppleInsider has learned that Apple has started to lay off non-seasonal employees in its retail channel outside of Apple Stores.
The layoff news was first disclosed from an email to AppleInsider. The email — which we have since verified through other sources — says that some Apple retail channel employees who work in places like Best Buy stores have received a thirty-day notice about their rights as it pertains to a layoff.


Best Buy and Apple will hire seasonal employees to deal with a push of demand from consumers. Those staffers' contracts have already expired, and we have confirmed that the layoffs are not from that labor pool, as they are already gone.
It's not clear what percentage of the workforce is affected. It's a notable enough volume of firings to be able to glean the information from multiple sources, however.

A second part of the initial email suggests that Retail Contact Center employees will be notified later on Friday, and over the weekend. We could not verify independently that this will happen, however.


So far, Apple has yet to make public disclosures of any large layoffs, unlike other Big Tech companies. However, in November Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is "being deliberate" and slowing down the hiring process.
"What we're doing as a consequence of being in this period is we're being very deliberate on our hiring," he said. "That means we're continuing to hire, but not everywhere in the company are we hiring."
"We think you invest your way to it," Cook continued, saying that Apple is investing for the long term and doesn't believe "you can save your way to prosperity."

没有任何希望APPLE裁员的恶意，只是提供一点信息而已。 APPLE也可能完全不需要裁员，很多news report都已经做了详细的分析，APPLE是所有公司当中overhiring最少，甚至是根本没有overhiring的。

Apple, still fighting the tech layoffs trend
https://techwireasia.com/2023/01 ... uring-the-pandemic/
Frankly, Apple grew at a much slower rate during the pandemic. In fact, Apple’s hiring over the past few years has followed the same general trend since 2016, data shows. As of September 2022, Apple had 164,000 employees, which includes both corporate employees as well as retail staff for its stores. But that was only a rise of 6.5% from the same period in 2021, amounting to real growth of 10,000 employees.

Apple also hired judiciously in 2020, adding less than 7,000 employees in the year before September 2021, according to CNBC. That said, up to this point, the iPhone maker has not joined its peers in announcing job cuts. In fact, Insider recently reported that the Cupertino company has gone on a hiring freeze that could last until September 2023 – the end of Apple’s fiscal year.

“layoff in some apple's retail channels have begun”不应该翻译成“一些apple retail channel开始裁员”。为什么到了地里就翻译成了ap

托福112果工路过
苹果的员工分成retail和corporate两部分。retail员工不仅存在在apple store，还有第三方、线上、对机构这三个组成部分（onboarding的时候我没仔细听，可能还有别的）
文章中说裁的就是第三方的部分。这部分也是属于apple retail 的非seasonal员工的（拿的估计是W2而不是1099）。这已经是apple生态链中比较核心的部分了。
再往下裁就轮到apple store 和recruiters，然后就是corporate了。

难道是花街给这几个巨头定好的日子？都在这一周，也太神奇了吧？

这些大公司的财报都在下一周 所以都选在了财报发布前裁员来刺激一波股价

请问一下这样的layoff会影响perm么？

当然不影响。perm 只会在同工种裁员比例达到一定程度才会被影响。

相信cook是会深思熟虑的，相对来说的确APPLE就是最后的防线，最稳的。

看来这就是google之后的下一个。

别奶了 去年apple招软工还是有放水
