General Motors announced that it will lay off about 1,000 of its employees globally – with a majority coming from a Michigan hub.
The automaker will be letting go of staff from its software and services division after a conducting review to streamline the unit’s operations, CNBC reported.
About 600 people from GM’s Technical Center in Warren, Michigan will be let go and those affected were notified earlier this week.
‘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 spokesperson said in a 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.’
The company stated that the layoffs were not a result of cost-cutting but based on a ‘review of operations’ following the departure in March of Mike Abbott, executive vice president of software and services, according to Reuters.
The new job cuts represent about 1.3 percent of the company’s global salaried workforce of 76,000 as of the end of last year.
