After Apple Inc.’s $3 billion deal to purchase Beats Electronics LLC, many of the headphone and music company’s employees won’t be coming along.
The iPhone maker has extended temporary offers to about 200 Beats workers who aren’t guaranteed a long-term role with Apple, said a person with knowledge of the plans, who asked not to be identified because the discussions were private. Those who may be out are in finance, human resources and other roles where there’s overlap, the person said. Beats has about 700 workers.
