News Topical, Digital Desk : Apple, one of the world's largest tech companies, has decided to downsize its sales team. Apple is set to reduce the number of employees in its sales team. This could lead to the company firing several employees. Speaking to Reuters, an Apple spokesperson said that hiring will continue in other teams within the company, so employees laid off from the sales team can apply for other positions if they wish. According to Bloomberg News, Apple's account managers working with various businesses, schools and government agencies will be most affected by this decision.

Government sales team most affected

Government sales teams, in particular, are expected to face the highest number of layoffs. These include the US Department of Defense and the Department of Justice. This Apple team deals with government departments, but now employees are fearing layoffs.

Decision taken after shutdown
