$Apple(AAPL.US)At a time when revenue is expected to hit a record high, Apple has made a rare adjustment to its sales team, eliminating dozens of sales and support positions targeting corporate, education, and government clients. The company stated that this move aims to optimize the team structure and reduce role duplication, emphasizing that affected employees can apply for internal transfers. This adjustment is seen as Apple’s effort to control costs by streamlining its own team and relying more on distributors while experiencing revenue growth.

While making record profits, Apple is also streamlining its team to become ” leaner.“ Is this move simply prudent financial management or part of a broader strategy?
