AMD and Apple seem to be the only ones not laying people off. Also, are you hiring?

Lay-offs are coming due to the cr-p economy.
But the people who will go are those who have had a recent bad review, or hasn’t badged in at least three days a week.

They did layoff contractors, postponed bonuses, hiring freeze in some groups and did not fill positions when employees left.
Why do a layoff when revenues are almost $95 billion and profit $25B.
Apple is also doing a buyback of $90B.
Share buyback programs are often performed to reduce the number of outstanding shares in a company. Increased scarcity typically results in an increase in the stock's price, or supporting a desired target.
Apple's entire business model is based on teenagers bullying each other over green dot vs blue dot. That doesn't a sustainable company make.
Be patient. Either they will have some layoffs in 2023, or 15+% layoffs in some future year.
