Apple, the leading tech company, has announced some job cuts. International media reports say layoffs will happen in the sales department. Sources at Apple said the decision will only impact a small number of employees. The company will continue hiring in other departments. Similarly, Apple offered the laid-off employees an opportunity to apply for positions in other areas of the company.
The overall extent of layoffs at Apple is still unclear. Other Silicon Valley tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and IBM have also announced layoffs. Many of these companies are making cuts while investing in artificial intelligence to manage rising operating costs. Unlike these companies, Apple is not conducting large-scale layoffs and has not announced any major cuts.
There are also reports that pressure on sales teams may have had a bearing on Apple's decision. The affected sales teams, which will now be substantially reduced, work closely with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Justice Department.
Recently, Amazon announced that it would cut 14,000 corporate jobs. The e-commerce company made the decision in October following heavy spending on artificial intelligence. Amazon said the layoffs are part of the new strategy to meet current and future customer needs. Engineers were the most affected group in these cuts.
