When everything is going your way there is always fat added to an enterprise. When not everything is going your way the top sends out the word and that fat is cut first. Apple is a big strong company but not everything is going its way now so management is signaling the troops to become leaner more aggressive.

Absolutely inefficient and foolish building design. Everything is as distant away from other locations as possible. Building maintenance will be a major headache and expense as time moves by. Apple must hire a crew of at least 25 people just to keep the giant windows clean. Another crew will be needed to clean the solar collectors to remove dirt, dust and debris. Good luck when the location suffers a major hail storm or meteorite storm.
