Quick Glance: Apple lays off over 600 workers in California: First major post-pandemic job cuts
  • Apple is carrying out over 600 layoffs in California, representing the company's initial significant wave of job cuts following the pandemic, within a broader context of tech industry consolidation.

  • According to reports to regional authorities, 614 employees were informed on March 28 in various offices that they would be losing their jobs, with the dismissals taking effect on May 27.

  • The eliminated employees came from eight offices in Santa Clara, as indicated in the submissions under the state's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, also known as WARN. However, the specific departments or projects of the workers remain undisclosed.

  • Apple did not respond to an early Friday request for comment. The company, headquartered in Cupertino, California, stood out as a noteworthy anomaly while other tech firms downsized their workforce over the last two years. Amidst a surge in hiring during the COVID-19 crisis, with increased online activity and spending, major tech companies have maintained a larger scale post-pandemic. Yet, the current trend entails a shift towards cost reduction as growth rates decelerate.
