SANTA CLARA — Apple has slashed hundreds of jobs in Silicon Valley, an ominous disclosure that suggests the tech industry’s staffing cutbacks have yet to run their course in the Bay Area.
The tech titan has revealed plans to chop more than 600 jobs in the South Bay, according to a new official filing with the state Employment Development Department.
Cupertino-based Apple’s job cuts mark the iPhone maker’s first officially disclosed layoffs in the Bay Area since tech companies began to unleash layoffs at an elevated level starting in 2022.
Apple has decided to slash 614 jobs in Santa Clara, the company’s WARN notice with the EDD shows.
The tech company described the layoffs as “permanent,” according to the WARN letter Apple sent to the state’s labor agency.
