Not that I'm quibbling, however I don't think Apple had any meaningful sized layoffs? I know there was some shake up in the retail division, but its unclear from the outside what the motivation was. I've heard through 2nd hand sources that there's been alot of churn and issues in the retail division really spanning back to Ron Johnson's retirement

Only mentioning this as I'm not sure it categorizes the same as these huge 10%+ layoffs the rest of tech have participated in, sometimes multiple times by the same company.



They may have meant meta? Meta announced a 40B stock buyback the day after it announced it was laying off 10,000 people. 4,000,000 per employee fired
