One of the richest companies on earth cuts important personnel, where is the proper focus at?

Perhaps because they wanted to save on employee benefits from extending their contracts.

Apple, If you spend less on your lawyers and more on your products, employees need not be fired.

They are a corporation that has run amok with its profit mongering. Layoffs are sad but understandable for companies like RIM and Nokia that are both in dire straits, but its just pure greed when a company that is making record breaking profits hand over fist like Apple.

they had to cut back. they dipped under 60% profit margins and just couldnt take it! screw the front line people!! yeeaa!! lol.

seriously, exactly what reason could the world's richest company that only makes MORE money every year have to "cut back". Crap like this is exactly why people scream "corporate greed" from the hilltops.

Apple must be stupid. why the hell would they start lay off their hard workers that help them sells their products? Their a billion dollar company. i think they should lay off the executive and senior staff members and board of directors their the ones making too much money. they should give them some raises
