苹果开始裁员了！

Bloomberg报道： https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a ... urce=uverify%20wall
Apple Inc. is eliminating a small number of roles within its corporate retail teams, according to people with knowledge of the matter, marking its first known internal job cuts since it embarked on a belt-tightening effort last year.

The company is shedding positions in what it calls its development and preservation teams, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the move hasn’t been announced. Those groups are responsible for the construction and upkeep of Apple retail stores and other facilities around the world.

While the number of positions being eliminated couldn’t be ascertained and is likely very small, the move represents a new step for the world’s most valuable company, whose peers have been slashing their ranks in the face of a shaky economy and sluggish consumer spending.

Apple is positioning the move as a streamlining effort, rather than layoffs. It told employees that the changes were designed to improve upkeep of stores globally and that the company will provide support to affected workers.

The iPhone maker has largely held off on corporate layoffs, even as it trims budgets and pares back much of its contractor workforce, including on-contract engineers, recruiters and security guards. The company previously cut corporate jobs before the pandemic, when it eliminated a couple hundred members of its self-driving car division.

With the latest move, Apple told employees in those groups that they would have the ability to reapply for a number of roles similar to their prior jobs. Those who don’t take a new role will get as much as four months of pay, the people said.

A representative for Cupertino, California-based Apple declined to comment.

Some management roles are also being eliminated. While those employees could be rehired as so-called individual contributors, they may not have the same compensation, according to the people. In a few instances, some employees are exempt and will keep their jobs without needing to reapply.

Apple had 164,000 employees as of September, when its last fiscal year ended. The company didn’t expand its workforce as quickly as many big tech companies during the pandemic, decreasing the need for major layoffs. Its peers, including Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, have cut tens of thousands of jobs.

我知道retail一直在裁。 但是这里说的是corporate retail team。我的理解是这是apple 内部管retail的team裁员了，而不是retail 苹果店的裁员。
另外没有制造焦虑的意思。

我的理解是 和retail相关的组 职位可能有da ds 之类的？我面过相关组的vendor 感觉没有马公会被影响

corporate retail有没有ds/de都悬，然而再往下就很容易轮到码工了。
就拿corporate中的retail组来说：apple官网就有网页端工程师吧？用户的数据总需要有后端和大数据工程师来储存和分析吧？再说下去我就泄密了。
当然，在很多人眼中除了aiml组的码工都不算是人。

看看原文好不好……

这明显是管装修维护的team，跟da/ds还有码工有什么关系……

标题党博眼球，散了吧

哪里标题党了？ BB的标题： Apple to Cut Jobs in Some Corporate Retail Teams in First Known Layoffs 不就是说苹果开始裁员了吗？

不过retail也有corporate office的组啊，不光是实体店里面的staff。我觉得有可能会cut HQ里面的人的。

貌似不咋裁full-time engineers？
