Twitter is currently in chaos, and the situation is not ideal at Meta/Facebook either. Is Apple next to announce layoffs?

"...(A)nonymous sources tell Business Insider that Apple has reportedly "paused almost all hiring," potentially through late 2023. The iPhone giant had already slowed hiring, with CEO Tim Cook acknowledging spending and hiring had become more... — read more

I have never worked in a company where micromanagement lowers company morale and creates a hostile workplace to such an extent. I have the feeling that the manager is watching me 24/7! Is leaving the only solution?

This company would rather layoff people than invest in a safe work environment. Even schools have this equipment nowadays. It exposes their preferences. Either people have to work in an unsafe environment or they will be fired. Shows the worth they... — read more 

No matter what corporate does, some people will just complain. Let them moan at home. Apple should fire them en masse. Doers will get the job done.

This used to be my dream job but lately this has become a company that constantly puts their employees into a situation they don't want to be in. I started looking for a way out. Apple is rapidly changing, for the worse. Just my opinion.

It's funny how many people here advocate RTO. I spend more on gas, I waste precious time driving, but for me too it's better to be working in the office. The reason: I work less in the office than at home. I was more productive at home, but I... — read more

https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2022/07/18/apple-reportedly-plans-to-slow-hiring-amid-recession-fears/?sh=318465aa717c I understand the need for a hiring freeze, but I also think it's too risky a move as well. Anyone else?

First, there is a slowdown in hiring (already announced). Then it's a hiring freeze in certain departments/groups. Then it's layoffs. Just look at what's been happening with Twitter and Meta, for example. I don't think it'll be as bad, but I do think... — read more 

What was Doug Field's legacy at Apple?

I have only been here for a little over half a year and I am very disappointed. I didn’t think the atmosphere would be this toxic. My question for long time employees, has there always been a lot of negative energy here?
