See that seems especially egregious to me. It’s proof you know the headline is terrible.

(Of course it could be that wasn’t the writer’s original title)

It’s not very common for Apple to lay anyone off, this could’ve been a decent story. Honestly the rest of the article is perfectly fine.

It’s just the framing.

The framing could’ve been something like “this is what it looks like when a company does layoffs right“. After all if you’re laying off a handful of people instead of 20,000 you clearly did a better job at not over-hiring.
