500 to 600 IT jobs gone at GM as of yesterday. Warren, Austin, gone. This is the third major workforce action in less than a year if you count October's salaried cuts and the Factory Zero situation in March. The company line is that they are transforming the IT organization and realigning skills for the future. That is always the language. What it actually means is that they over-hired for an EV transformation that did not materialize on the timeline they sold to investors, and now they are right-sizing in waves so the quarterly impact looks manageable. The people let go are real. Some of them built systems that are still running. The reorg narrative is cleaner than the reality.
