Automaker claims it has to ‘make bold choices’
General Motors is cutting more than 1,000 salaried positions worldwide in its software and services division, with the majority based in the US.
The layoffs, as initially reported by CNBC, include about 600 positions at GM's Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. A GM spokesperson confirmed that most of the affected workers are indeed based at the Detroit-area tech campus. However, the automaker did not confirm the exact number of employees impacted by the layoffs. The affected GM employees were informed this morning."As we build GM's future, we must simplify for speed and excellence, make bold choices, and prioritize the investments that will have the greatest impact," GM stated.
These layoffs followed a separate round of job cuts earlier in 2023 when GM announced a plan to lay off about 1,300 workers at its Orion Assembly and Lansing Grand River Assembly plants in Michigan. The spokesperson clarified that these two rounds of cuts are not connected., alleging a years-long scheme to collect and sell drivers' data to third parties, including insurance companies, without drivers' knowledge or consent.
