Apple has become notifying employees in the retail channels of their rights when being laid off.
- d12bb 4y agoTo quote John Gruber of Daring Fireball[1]: > There’s only one big tech company that seemingly never played this hire-for-the-sake-of-hiring game, and thus hasn’t announced any layoffs at all, let alone a headcount that would fill a basketball arena. Just one. One company that has, at its best, always kept its cool in the face of economic swings both up and down. Well, he doesn't call it an apple here, but I think his observation nontheless is sound, that most of these companies just hired for the sake of hiring the last years. Another observation I read yesterday (forgot where), MS laying of 10k isn't that much considering they hired 12k last year.
