Here is how Apple is avoiding layoffs

Unlike many other large tech firms, Apple has not yet announced widespread layoffs.

Analyst Mark Gurman <a href="https://twitter.com/markgurman/status/1637457987211264000">claims</a> that in order to avoid mass layoffs, Apple is delaying bonuses and postponing projects, while reining in budgets, limiting hiring, and pausing employee transfers between departments.
It has also reduced travel budgets, with senior executive approval necessary for trips, and is cracking down on office attendance.

Gurman believes Apple executives are trying to cut costs to avoid layoffs, which could signal a strategic error or a worsening global economy.
