General Motors (GM) is laying off 1,000 software employees, including 600 workers in Michigan.
This move is part of GM’s broader efforts to cut costs and streamline operations amid ongoing economic challenges.
“…[W]e’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 spokesman Kevin Kelly said.
The layoffs come as the automotive giant continues its transition towards electric vehicles and adjusts to shifting market demands. The company has faced increased pressure to maintain profitability while investing heavily in new technology.
