GM lays off more than 1,000 salaried software and services employees

DETROIT — General Motors is laying off more than 1,000 salaried employees globally in its software and services division following a review to streamline the unit’s operations, CNBC has learned.

The layoffs, including roughly 600 jobs at GM’s tech campus near Detroit, come less than six months after leadership changes overseeing the operations, including former Apple executive Mike Abbott leaving the automaker after less than a year in March due to health reasons.

“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,” a GM spokesman said in an emailed statement. “As a result, we’re reducing certain teams within the Software and Services organization. We are grateful to those who helped establish a strong foundation that positions GM to lead moving forward.”

GM declined to disclose the full number of layoffs, but a source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named because the information is private, confirmed more than 1,000 salaried employees would be laid off, including 600 in Warren, Michigan. Impacted employees were notified Monday morning.

“Will hire 4 thousand from India ?”

No, they will outsource IT work to some other company.

And that company will hire from India.

“former Apple executive Mike Abbott leaving the automaker after less than a year in March due to health reasons..”

No, he FINALLY figured out that Mary Barra is a TOOL of the Globalists and has no time for anyone with half a brain, particularly a White male. Hmmm, come to think of it, if I had to work with that beach, I’d, very quickly, also develop health problems.

“...leaving the automaker after less than a year in March due to health reasons.”

Dyspepsia due to getting an accurate look at GM’s future?

There’s a rumor that BLS statistics for the year are going to be revised down big time.

If true...
