Apple hasn't laid engineers off since the early 2000s IIRC. It didn't happen in 2021 because they didn't overhire like everyone else did, nor did their execs decide to punish their employees like everyone else did.

I was thinking more Amazon than Apple. Hiring an outsider to a team just to have someone to fire is supposedly common there.
