GM is laying off more than 1,000 salaried employees in its software and services unit following a review to streamline the operations, CNBC has learned.
The layoffs include roughly 600 jobs at General Motors’ tech campus near Detroit.
The layoffs represent about 1.3% of the company’s global salaried workforce of 76,000 as of the end of last year.
Were these the employees GM tasked to build a custom infotainment system to replace CarPlay?
Yes 🤡
There were also cuts in other software areas. My team propulsion controls for BEVs, and we lost a couple people unexpectedly.
I hate to hear that. Propulsion controls is not a department I’d want to be making cuts in.
Yea but didn’t you know, you only need a few nerds, they don’t make any money for the company. IT always cost money.
The thing nobody wants, excellent.
