This article references a nytimes article. This article has no regional reference for the workers. It was recently reported that Apple was experiencing 50% defect rate in India where this newspaper seems to be from. Could be that Apple had higher expectations.



I've looked... there haven't been any NYT articles about Apple.

In trying to find other articles that might have a link directly to it I also found https://www.outlookindia.com/business/tech-layoffs-2023-appl...

> According to a report in the New York Post, over the last few days, Apple has laid off hundreds of contract workers – workers that were actually employed by outside agencies but worked alongside Apple employees on various projects.

which... doesn't fill me with confidence that I will find one. ... and digging a bit more... https://nypost.com/2023/02/16/apple-has-begun-firing-contrac...

It is the New York Post (not the Times).


"they are forced to work more than a mile away from Apple’s “spaceship” headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. at a facility which, in addition to relatively ho-hum architecture, lacks free snacks."

I do have sympathy for people that thought they were on a 6/12/whatever month contract and let go early. But this NY Post article is really reaching.
