We're not sure how many are affected or across how many parts of the business this goes, but Apple is doing layoffs, at least in Apple Enterprise Sales. We've got two separate reports that a few heads (50?) are rolling.
It doesn't look like Apple is entirely immune to the economic downturn.
This was first reported by Vallywag yesterday and confirmed today. However, SAI talked to Apple PR who've recently been accused of having "issues with the truth" who denied everything. Whether Apple chooses to call these "layoffs" or "downsizing" or whatever, a few people are now jobless. :(

Enterprise Sales Layoffs
separate not seperate!
Enterprise reps
If the apple enterprise reps in question are as uselessly unhelpful as the ones in my area then maybe a little restructuring wouldn't hurt
definitely fired
Take it for what it's worth.
Our enterprise rep gone and "no longer with Apple" when I tried to contact yesterday.
