Of FAANG, only one company hasn't had major layoffs this year.

Apple has never in the last decade had any trouble recruiting top tier personnel, but now that advantage has significantly increased.

To me, that's a great reason to be long AAPL and short whatever companies give into the nonsense this guy is peddling.

Time will tell what Apple will do here. Seems a bit too early to say "Apple won't be doing any layoffs", at least according to some sources.

Seems like a very small layoff so far, hitting Apple retail employees working for Apple but in resellers (so not Apple Store employees, but Apple employees none-the-less), but maybe they are just starting small. Again, time will tell.

Apple showed restraint in hiring over the pandemic to a greater degree than the others.

So far.
