Apple is the only tech giant that still hasn’t announced layoffs

Apple didn't hire like an idiot at the start of a once in a lifetime event like everyone else. Everything that follows is application. It's simple, really.

Amazon needed seasonal warehouse work for massive order growth during covid.

Google hired like normal, not more

FB had a small bump.

MS hired a lot in 2022.

The "overhired" narrative lacks evidence.

If these people were still needed, their position wouldn't have been officially regarded as superfluous.

The "overhired" narrative lacks evidence you're ignoring because it's counterfactual to the narrative you want to believe.

Just give another month for Apple to start laying off. Apple has started to do badge audits for RTO (Return to work). The upper management might have thought of layoffs. Since Google is laying off 10K, this gives more ammo for Apple to join the bandwagon.

Apple prints money and has billions in the bank. They can’t be pressured by anyone except China.
