Apple is now backpedaling on a recent initiative to decrease retail staffing and make cuts at some of their more “bloated” international stores.
This is the second high-profile acknowledgment of a “mistake” on Apple’s part in recent weeks, with Apple just last month having backpedaled on removing its products from the EPEAT environmental registry. In that case, Apple senior vice president Bob Mansfield posted an open letter apologizing for the company’s error.
There have been other mistakes in the past as well, like “Antennagate,” but having two happen so recently is interesting to note.
