I saw this post floating around social media. Layoffs at apple 0

The rest HN already knows.

50k+ in the other FAANGs.

Company count change in last 3 years

Apple: +20%.

Amazon: +100%.

Facebook: +94%.

Google: +57%.

Microsoft: +53%.

So there is simply the case of massive overhiring in c19 times.

Is it really so bad though that they overhired in lockdown times where unemployment and desperation soared and layoffs are now during a time where tech people usually have an offer or two within weeks?

Just playing devils advocare here.
