Apple cuts jobs across sales team

Apple has cut dozens of jobs within its sales organization as part of a restructuring effort aimed at streamlining how it sells to businesses, schools, and government agencies. Employees were informed over recent weeks, though Apple didn’t disclose the exact number of roles eliminated. The cuts affected account managers, briefing center staff, and even longtime employees, including members of a government-focused team, and followed smaller layoffs in Australia and New Zealand. While Apple publicly framed the move as eliminating overlapping responsibilities, some workers believe the company is shifting more sales activity to third-party resellers to reduce internal costs.
