The layoff mainly affects the software and services teams with the affected workers being notified on Monday morning, a GM spokesperson told CNBC.
“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,” the spokesman said.
“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 spokesperson added.
